Well it seems it's started already:

First signs of snow

And the media are already going into panic stations :

Quote:
There were falls of up to an inch (2.5cm) of snow in some areas of north-east England


(bolding copied direct from website) rolleyes

Just waiting for the stories now of stuck handbrakes, blizzard-like conditions as perhaps a whole 1.5 inches of snow falls shocked laugh

And lest we not forget the tale of the little Punto who could, going where 4x4's dared not tread to rescue a small child smile

Well Thursday night I went out to do a bit of mountain biking, it was raining at home but snowing on the tops. Bit grim but good fun. Today its snowing at home. Quite heavy.

MrsC left Swindon at 9.30 this morning heading home to Cambridge. She texted me from an M25 traffic jam just before 1pm. Looks a bit crap, though Cambridge itself has had nothing like proper snow.

Simon, our postman, has the day off today. Yesterday he said he was off to the coast today to go windsurfing if the roads were clear.

Somehow I doubt if he has made it.

I had a good snowball fight in the back garden with my grandson too.

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
