I know a lot of you folks in Europe and beyond cope with snow and ice without any problems but here in Blighty a flurry of snow and a very chilled wind and the country grinds to halt!
I loved this weather when I was a kid but these days it's just a pain.
Struggling to start the Probe this morning I made my way to work but on the way looking at the fields I thought how picturesque they looked.
It cheered me up so I thought I'd share them with you people - roll on summer!
Nice pictures, I struggled through an hour of ungritted motorways to discover work is shut because of the snow!
ReplyDeleteCrazy, Kevin . I'm working at a school doing fire doors and they''ve closed that to kids. Half the teachers didn't turn up anyway. When I was a nipper I don't remember my school closing for a bit of snow .
DeleteMy school only closed on -extremely- snowy days, Scoop, where I always had the naive notion that that was to allow us to play in the snow.
ReplyDeletePity that P2 took off without you on board. :)
@Kevin: I love driving in the snow (giving the Alfa the odd handbrake turn :) but all the fun gets taken out of it by the other poor & scared sods making up the jams I'll be in.
In general, my opinion on the snow makes no difference at all to the weather gods, so I figure I may as well enjoy it while it's there.

That's fair, Paul , but this weather means my golf game's cancelled tomorrow - they won't even let me play with orange balls !!! ; D
DeleteThat's not fair from your greens comittee, Scoop. You should encourage them to become the whites comittee for the duration, and help you get golf included in the Olympic Winter Games!
