the evening commute back up the M77 and GSO might be fun

Consider yourself lucky you don't need to enter North Lanarkshire at any point.

Same weather, considerably more incompetent council.

Every time it snows it's the same. Crossing the border from any neighbouring authority into NL is like entering Mordor. 🙁

You mean that, after all this time, there really has been a Mordor?

Nah. It was merely a comparison between the two.

One's a dismal, depressing wasteland populated by evil , subhuman monsters who speak a strange, guttural language.

The other one is Mordor, which has less snow and more opportunity for mountain biking

WET, COLD N WET.....

Wetter than an Otters Pocket etc.

Raining so hard my weather station rain gauge has broken and reads 0mm even though it's ankle deep out side. This could be due to spider webs or bird poo in the collector.

Now settling. Still wouldn't go riding in it though. Wet snow on sloppy ground.

Our annual 20 minute snowstorm on the South Downs. We even threw a snowball.

Joe Cocker usually pops round and clears our drive.

Love an evening with Joe, talking about kites and getting him to do his Broski Beat covers.

Not seen him for a bit, can't wait.
He should be on the phone anytime now.

I have some bad news.

Joe Cocker has been stuck in traffic due to a rogue snowflake landing on the M11.

The army has been called.

It was snowing in Birmingham when I left the Nec earlier, it gradually turned to rain as I headed back down south though.

Probably be the only snow I see all year 😆

Where's this snowverdose we've been promised. There's a bit here in Macclesfield, but nothing major. Wanted to go sledging as I have the day off 🙁

Just had to chisel Mrs M's car windows free of ice. This is apparently a blue job. Light smattering over the Downs but crowborough and Tunbridge Wells have 4-5 inches.

Any snow that isn't on grass has turned to ice. Very bloody slippy ice at that.
My ice tyres would have been better than my Fatty today.

I have had to scrape the car windows, the snow came, went, left nothing but abject misery and dispare.
😆

But what is all this commotion about storm surges and hurricane winds on the East Coast ?? Watching the news would have you believe the end of days is imminent..

About 2cm frozen solid everywhere this morning.

We were laughing at the BBC news people, out in big coats showing 'snowmageddon' with appropriate wordage of doom...and in the background you could see the grass through the snow. The only clips of *real* snow were Drumochter and Blair Atholl roads....

I must have had a hundred met office weather alerts for snow or ice in the new forest and forest this week. Nothing. Not even that icy.
