Snowing heavily doon here in the capital

I'd be fecking delighted if we got some proper snow, like we used to when i was a lad.  Got to agree with sweetchuck, arctic conditions my arse.

No buses running in London?

WTF is that all about?

Hadn't you noticed that the weather is frickin' apocalyptic, maaan?

 

It's a miracle that any of us are still alive, if the tone of the media is anything to go by.

 

Apparently the pavements in Notting Hill are so slushy that the residents simply can't reach the 4x4 to get to Harrods & Harvey Nicks, and are therefore on the verge of cannibalism.

 

 

Caught a bit of news on the telly this morning while having breakfast. Reporter in SE england claims 6-7 inches of snow there- it was barely over the toes of her boots. What kind of fucking inches was that then? 6 cm maybe, but even that looked like it would be at a push.

It's been snowing here in Burton on Trent since yesterday. The place is gripped by panic; people are running around the streets in a state of panic, there are overturned cars on fire everywhere, shops are being looted and everything. And there was no warning, they've not been saying on the weather for the last four days that it was going to snow or anything like that. I blame the credit crunch and Gordon Brown.

GBMG must go.

She must be very easily satisified in the sexual arena

6-7 inches of snow could easily have fallen if you know how they measure these things.

Well, had to walk home due to the roads being grid locked and on the way some seeing some abysmal driving. Up to 3 inches at points on the pavements, along with a ford focus at one point sliding down the hill towards me. On that same hill cars were tailgating others. Quite a nice change from the bus.

Apparently the underground was affected as well.

We got a firm-wide voicemail in the morning warning us not to come into work if it was going to be dangerous, then an email in the afternoon re-stating the fact and that if the weather was bad tomorrow again to stay at home. Apparently the London offices were pretty much empty today, wimps.

Aye, I got the day off today. Pretty much impossible to get in and out of London as few train services were actually working.

The transport infrastructure in the South East of England has been shown up to be a total joke today.  How difficult is it to clear show off a runway?

Sounds like they were very ill-prepared, as usual!

 

6.2 million didn't make it to work!  Shocking!!

Meteorology consultant?

Meteorology consultant?

 

Yes, I tell them how to measure snow.

I see Boris still made it to work on his bike. 

A bit sleety today from my view on Market Street (Aberdeen)

 

BBC says there will be heavy sna here today, haven't seen any as yet though. There was a bit of sna lying on my way in to work from Ellon side, not that bad though.

Heaps of the stuff out the west side of town.  Very wet though, chaos as usual on the roads this morning as all the lazy fecking tarts drove thier kids 200 yards to school in their lexus and Q7's and still managed to get stuck.

 

SNOW MELTS, CLAIMS MET OFFICE     

SNOW is a delicate substance made of tiny ice crystals and unlikely to last forever, the Met Office claimed last night.

 

Experts insisted the granular material had a soft and open structure that was very likely to turn into water, and was not an airborne member of the notoriously hardwearing diamond family.

 

As millions of Britons stocked up on anti-wolf equipment, climatologists claimed the snow would disappear within days as rising air temperatures resulted in the breakdown of its crystalline structure in a process they referred to as 'melting'.

 

A Met Office spokesman, said: "Snow is a notoriously unstable material, which is why we never use it to build bridges.

 

"Try picking it up, notice how the warmth of your hands makes it go soft and disappear. In fact, the only thing it is guaranteed to withstand is a 12-ton London bus."

 

He added: "Of course, there is always a chance this is the beginning of a hundred year winter that will only end when four unbearably smug public school children become our rulers after pushing their way through the back of a magic wardrobe, stealing some very expensive coats and befriending a talking lion who's actually Jesus."

 

But trainee solicitor and amateur survivalist Julian Cook said he was now prepared for a permanent, snow-based society after watching Sky News non-stop for 16 hours and reading the Daily Mail's 12-page supplement, Wolves! Everywhere!

 

He added: "Sssshhhhh! They can hear how fat you are."

 

 

 

According to the news 60 schools in the north east were closed today. AFC Chat will be busy then 

I made the mistake of parking my car on a hill covered in ice today....I found it 12ft away from where I left it in the morning!

Nah, just outside of the Gordon Hotel will be bouncing though!

Proper snow in Aberdeenshire today, kid's school is closed, they're dusting the sledges down as I type this. 

Fair bit of sna in Aberdeen this morning. My 35 mile journey from home was a bit tricky this morning, the drive home should be a bit better though.
