SNOW !!

[Supernova]

I cant beleeeev it Southampton, England has come to a standstill, with a snow flurry :woohoo: All Europe as got the gear, we breakdown.

-2C here, when I was in Norway the temp was -30C and everything worked for the 2 weeks I was there.

We are running out of gas, no grit for the roads.

Its a giggle :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Bernie I get the gist of your post but:

1, It was -9 here last night!
2, According to the evening news gas supplies are plentiful and
3, Scotland long with some other councils are having problems getting salt supplies to where they are needed as the average British winter doesn't usually get these prolonged cold spells.
4, We don't usually need the sort/amount of equipment places such as Norway does and wouldn't we be the first to complain if our councils spent our taxes on equipment which was used perhaps once a decade?

I know your post is light-hearted Bernie but I had to point this out - sorry :kiss:

Here too Bernie - our schools were sposed to go back today but they've got the week off! The radio is telling all council workers including teachers to go to there nearest council offices if they can't get into work, and if they can't get to the nearest councl office, they've to work from home!! :laugh: What's the school janitor going to do at home!!:laugh: :laugh:

Yes, everything a nightmare here. Northumberland County Council is running out of salt, schools are closed and it was -5 here last night. The early morning flurry was soft on the car though - so that easily brushes off. What annoys me is the school closures! WHY? Oh yes, the teachers couldn't get in - well, what would happen if my place of work decided they couldn't get it!! I work in a hospital!

We've had to abandon the kids this evening though - the youngest goes to school 22 miles away - and Michael had to turn back from collecting her - roads too dangerous and rear wheel drive don't go! They are both stopping at a relative's house!

I'm sick of it - global warming! WHERE!!!

LOL we are used to it in Scandinavia, it's -20 degrees here at the moment and I went for a run today. It always amazes me how everything shuts down in the UK with a bit of snow and cold.
