Non, probably won't this time, pity I love snow.

I think it's the randomness of us getting heavy snow that leaves us ill prepared. If we knew it was coming every year then we could plan better for it..
When it reaches -40 you know it's cold. I was in Kazakhstan last december, -45 and dropping...

Maybe we need to learn something from them and prepare ourselves better?

Ask her about the ice storm?

Maybe he takes his work home with him.

You walking there? our gritters here in Lancs were out tuesday night and last night, but whats this white stuff you are all on about the weathers beautiful cold I know, sunshine all day. As for driving in it I never had a problem going all over the country even to the top of Scotland in all weathers at all hours. Must be these southern softies Digidiva. LOL.


BTW I refuse to answer the last part on the grounds it might incriminate me, or, give me an inferiority complex.

Franckly I hope we only get the snow for Christmassday when one dose not have to go anywhere, and all one has to do is look out at it and get a few good shots

I work shifts & it always seems to come while I'm at work in the evening so it takes me 3 or 4 hours to get home. It's about time someone else took a turn, and as for coming on Xmas day, well I'm working so it better hadn't, at least not until I get home in the afternoon.
