We've had nearly 2mm today ... that's about 1/10th inch for you old-money unit folk

I have to drive 1.5 hours, and back again, this evening so I'll let you know tomorrow if the whole country has ground to a halt - I expect it has ...

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

Yup ... as I thought ... there was a car in the ditch before I'd gone a couple of miles.

None of the roads locally gritted / salted ...

UK mostly "shut down", very few cars on the road, only saw a couple of gritting lorries on other carriageway in 120 miles of motoring ...

But wasn't cold enough to make the snow a nuisance, so only added 10% to journey time

I'd just like to point out that its mostly the South of England that grinds to a halt when they see a snowflake.

Us 'ard people from oop Norf just get on with it

The Wash DC area has just broken an all time record set back in 1899 for must snow in a season. I'm about 25 miles north-west of the city. My front yard is waist deep. The area was basically shut down on Wednesday because of white out conditions - high winds and heavy snow. We had two storms within 5 days totaling about 40 inches. I've done more shoveling this week than I have in long time. And the piles I have to throw snow to are now like 15 feet high. My arms and back have had it. I hear we have some more coming on Monday :(

Actually all this snow is a total blast. Commuting and house maintenance is a pain but I must admit that I was doing my share of diving gainer snow angels off my porch

On the plus side the brandy that the St. Bernard brought was not half bad.


Can't find brett though we may need the ski patrol.
