There is a fooking blizzard on as i type this. ( Kent area )

Cars all over the place. Roads not gritted. Mayhem!

West Sussex:

Blizzard, about a foot or two of snow in drifts, roads not gritted.

Took me three hours to get from work to my digs last night. That's 6 miles.

Not many people in the office this morning.

Britain 'will gain from global warming' - Telegraph

The report, by 30 international scientists for the European Commission, blah blah.

Mike Hulme, a climate researcher at the University of East Anglia, blah blah.


Hot hot hot, sunny dry and warm Britain.

Same here, although I sprayed antifreeze on the car windows before I went to bed, just to make sure I wouldn't get a coating of ice and could fulfill this week's polluting the planet quotum; north east NL, drove to central NL, no problems. According to the radio there are people stranded in their cars in northern France and ze authorities cannot 'andle zis, so they're asking people who live near motorways to rescue stranded motorists.

A blizzard in the SE just means a light flurry of snow. Too much for all those 4x4s to cope with...

It tends not to be the 4x4's but the clueless saloon/ small car drivers who do not know how to drive in snow, skid and block the roads leading to tailbacks
Oh and the foreign fooking truck drivers jack knifing across the M20

It's not the snow, it's the ice under it. Summer tyres have almost zero grip on ice, hence why our continental cousins mandate winter tyres for such conditions.

Wow! Really?

I was taking in the rays yesterday and at the weekend sipping wine in the bright sun in the Los Gatos mountains. Ouch. Got a little sunburn there. :-)
