No thanks, I hate cold weather.  I'm a hot weather person :( :( :(

Only good thing with working from home, I have not got a slow, snow covered roads commute.  :y :y :y

With this typical cold calm weather from the north, with the resultant high electricity usage, anybody seen a windmill turning?

Oh yes 8) with an agency, but not the best organised firm. Current assignment is a bit chaotic. Started yesterday at 4 pm, didn't hit the road till 10 as not loaded so didn't get to Manchester at 4.30 smorning. 9 hrs break later, just get one drop done before closing, 3 more tomorrow and home late tomorrow or early Sat ::) but I get an extra night out from it :y Also means I get to see a bit more countryside...

From what I've seen the last 2 weeks, I prefer Liverpool :-\

A White Christmas!

That's a silly question to ask someone who drives a rear wheel drive German car with ultra low profile tyres.  ::) ::) ;D ;D

We do have an arctic equipped Navara in the family though so we are never stuck at home.  ;) ;) :y

Like Rods2 I also hate cold weather, can't wait until next week when we are off to The Gambia for a bit of lovely African heat and friendly hospitality!

Cold ? . . . . bring it on    :D

If cold, it's possible to heat up. Clothes, heaters etc or even burn up some body fat  :D

If hot,  . . . . . air con or nothing  :-[

Since living in Southern Spain we have had the "first snow for 50 years" at least FOUR winters. Sometimes so bad we are snowed in. So we may have a white Xmas here too!

Snow at Christmas, a bit like the predicted drought and Indian summer ::) ;D ;D ;D

I don't remember the long range forecast predicting the wettest summer on record :(

I'll believe it when I look out of the windows on Christmas morning ;)

Absolutely right Cleggy! :y :y :y

Like you no doubt I remember over the years how we have been told the weather will be like X, but it turns into Y.  As a child I was always looking forward to snow after weathermen said there would be, but the times I was disappointed I cannot count. :D :D :D ;)

Snow chains are for girls ;D


You're not a girl, are you ???

Put a spade and a bag of rocksalt in the boot, and I almost guarantee that you won't get stuck :y
