I'm currently snowed in at the Grandkids' gaff. Schools closed. The hill's undrivable. The car's Snowbound. Cars attempting the hill road are skidding and burning rubber. Yep, it's winter in West Yorkshire.
No snow here in Hemel Hempstead Woodsy, but depending where you are in Shipley, you could do worse than take a Winter walk to the nearest pub. Is The Travellers Rest, in Windhill, near you ? That was my Dad's favourite one.
It's the height of summer down here at Oz Base. The cicadas are playing merry hell with my hearing aids and the noise outside my head matches my inside! Oddly, despite the threat of bushfires, It's quite cool at the moment with extended rains forecast. I'm back in my winter pajamas at this instant
We had a dusting of snow last weekend in Connecticut and this Monday a dusting in Manhattan.
Since then it has been well below freezing but dry and windy. Either I'm feeling the cold more with age or it's just penetrating regardless of outer clothing.
Snow clearing of roads isn't an issue as winter is not the surprise it always seems to be in the UK to public authorities.
I know what you mean Terran. Winter always catches us by surprise. It's like Flu and Snowmageddon at the moment. Recession looms too! All good news from Blighty!
Cold in Chester. Snow has gone and, finally, after 3 days it has stopped raining!
ReplyDeleteRain rain rain! No good for model spraying Kev!
DeleteI've started saving up projects that don't need spraying to work on at this time of year!
Delete6 inches of snow at Monster Base.Not the worst, but inconvenient.
ReplyDeleteWow! Six inches! Watch out for Yetis and Sasquatches Brian!

Kids are marooned with us Mish so sledging is the order of the day on Thackley Hill! Yep, Travellers Rest's still there!
DeleteCold as a Witch's ____ here in the States, but no white stuff yet. Fine by me! Stay indoors with a good movie and a cup of grog! SFZ
ReplyDeleteDo you get the white stuff in CT SF?
DeleteCool with a cold wind out of the northwest here in Lost Wages, NV. Now waiting for the smoke from the fires in LA to start blanketing the skies.
ReplyDeleteYes, it looks terrible in Los Angeles Ed on the News. The poor people. Thousands evacuated.

Those cicadas sound like a real pain Looey. I hope they're not disrupting your filming!

DeleteAnother light dusting of snow this morning in Burscough, but standing water from the recent rains makes the paths slippery. Bill
ReplyDeleteIt's Snowmageddon here in Shipley!
