Chavy Leicester had snow too!

Although it's all gone now, and we're left with wan*y builders on top of buildings, throwing snowballs......How I wish it was legal to push the cnuts off

.. and this is what it looks like this morning from my back garden:

It's not fair, all we've got is cold. Mostly grey cold at that.

Having said that, I should be getting the garden ready for winter instead of wasting my hard-earned Friday afternoon off on t'internet

Yay! We got white stuff! Didn't last long though

hehehehe I got white stuff too, and I don't reckon that will last long either

Your all talking about Dope right
.....................................................

The Essex decenniel snowfall occurred last year. Much as I love snow I don't fancy a repeat.

Southerners are soooo worthless, they can't work out how to do anything after a light dusting of melting slush.

It's no wonder this country's going to the dogs. We should tow the south into the sea and assert our independence. Ideally during a weekend when I'm visiting home!

i wanna see snow too. not only on photos.

Till now all we have is sun, sun and more sun.

well there's a lil snow left here, hmmm think i better go and shovel it up

Well we had a blizzard last night. Many trees were blown down by the wind and the roads are all covered with frozen snow and ice. It's impossible to drive faster than 40 km/h. The wind also destroyed my gate and broke my favourite, 20 year old juniper. Oh and the whole village had no electricity for the whole night - which in my case means no water (electric pump), no light, and no heating (electric ventilator). So I slept in the pitch dark room with 10 degrees Celsius temperature. Thank God I had 5 cats to give me some warmth under the duvet, 3 cm of candle to light my road to bed and 1 litre bottle of wine. Today as I drove to work I noticed that the local kindergarten's roof is on the playground beside it.

35 deg C, storm coming, big lightning, trees getting smashed, garden being obliterated ... the usual stuff.

Oh and that picture above is over Cape Town - it's mild down there by comparison to the Highveld lightning storms.

that place in the bottom left does a mean steak and strawberry sauce. Pity they only serve SAB drafts

Mmmmm... steak and strawberry sauce. yumeeeeee
I'll skip the SAB draft thanks also.

If that was round here we'd blame Jarvis

(for non-UK readers Jarvis are the cowboy's cowboy's of the building trade. But with headed notepaper and a fleet of vans )

Actually that kind of sparkly stuff has been crashing around here off and on for the past two weeks and we're going to get some more of it tonight, by the looks of it this morning.

I'd much rather have SNOW!

From what I've been told snow is a lot like Afrikaners, and you guys probably have lots of those.

Nah, that's a rumour. More Afrikaners in the Cape, dude.
Although the guys who came round to my house yesterday to check out my garage, prior to knocking bits of it down, were regular Spanner heads from Germiston.
Cool car in the pool, btw

Snow. Havn't noticed any sign of melting

Finally some snow

Let me share a temperature-chart from 1999 when I lived in northern Sweden, in Luleå.



Yes, it's off the scale... -43C. The Fahrenheit and the Celsius scales cross eachother at -40 F/C, so that equals -45F.

I'm glad I live in Stockholm

I will NEVER complain about 10 deg C again.
