Snow,how much have you got?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

The view from my office window in Newcastle - note the clear view of Gateshead across the water in the top half of the picture (ie completely vanished) and the picturesque Tyne Bridge far right (ie also vanished)

I have a photo taken from my hotel in Moscow back in the 80's that has less snow on it than this! :lol: ;D

I live round the corner too but I made the excuse that "it's not safe to walk out there", and bloody rightly so - saw 3 falls (one of which was a broken arm) in the space of a minute or so. :urff:

I'm expecting to be the only one in tomorrow. :evil:

Weather and climate are not the same thing...

Anyhoo, I'm working from home again, managed to get out (as far as the pub) last night.

Oh and if anyone's had an email or text to the effect of "the police will be stopping people with large amounts of snow on their car roof and fine them £60" it's not true. However driving with a "snowhican" can be dangerous. If all that snow falls off in one go it can pose a serious danger to others.
