letrangere Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 We always find the best thing for scraping ice off windscreens is an old credit card! So maybe we'll do our bit for the credit crunch and cancel all our cards and use them instead them as ice scrapers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letrangere Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Everyone should move to southern Tuscany where it was a balmy 20 today, bit drizzly at times but mild enough to barbeque tonight. Desolee... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keni Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Just heard on Radio 2 that it's snowing north of us at the NEC - that'll really sort out the traffic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Well, I was on the beach today for a couple of hours. Warm, sunny and low tide so the dogs chased sea birds until they couldn't run another step. There may well be a frost tonight as last night. Nice though.You can keep the snow, nasty stuff.

Gardengirl Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Here in Reading it's snowing! We've lived here for 30+ years, but don't ever remember snow here before in October. In fact, we get very little even in the depths of winter, and any that does fall doesn't usually lie for long. The snow this evening also doesn't look likely to stay - there's just a nice covering on the cars, but none lying on the roads.However, I might back out of the ramble up on the Downs tomorrow; the wind chill has made it very cold this evening. Maybe it'll finally be time to turn out some cupboards!Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mme poivre Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Here on the Oxfordshire Warwickshire border my kids have been out playing snowball fighting with the neighbours. They all had great fun then came home to a roaring fire. I think the snow was put on especially for half term fun[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederick Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Now that we have had an early cold snap...no doubt somebody is doing an article for this Sundays papers to point out that this all means we are due some power cuts as we dont have the extra power station capacity to cope with snow .... Just to add to the doom and gloom we have had to read for weeks ....Better go down the corner shop and buy "fork handles ! " just in case ...

Gardengirl Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I did go on the ramble on the Downs today; cupboard-turning-out didn't appeal at all! It was absolutely beautiful, with sunshine, clear blue skies, lovely autumnal colours; very parky, though - despite lots of layers. The snow has only stayed till now where the sun didn't penetrate.Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
