Nice of them to put the woods at the bottom, so you don't have to walk so far back.

If you're feeling sorry for yourself, what with all the snow, check out this collection for some... perspective.

Just returned from a walk with visiting Labradog. He enjoyed it. I didn't. There is no more to be said.

Has Aylesbury ground to a halt this AM as usual in the circumstances?

I didn't wear my new coat.
I realised when breaking the ice on the birdbath that it was nowhere near cold enough for that. I wore my Mum's jacket instead, and got so hot I had to wear it open halfway to town.

Actually all the roads were clear, so there was no grinding to a halt that I saw. I think the roads here are generally good, but then I lived within spitting distance of the Southern approach to the Blackwell Tunnel. I hope never to live anywhere with traffic quite like that again.

(The Blackwall Tunnel goes under the Thames. Two lanes in each direction, but in separate tunnels. When it is closed it is closed, and there is nowhere else for the traffic to go once they have reached a certain point. Traffic can and does back up for MILES).

We had snow again today. Hours of it. Still didn't settle. I think we've had our ration for this winter.

OMG we had snow all day today.

Yes, yes, you've all had snow for weeks. But I live in South Texas! You get snow in Dallas on a pretty regular basis, but not down here. On Sunday--the day before yesterday--it was 75 degrees, and we took the kids swimming. No shit. Today we got 2 inches of snow, and they let school out early.

3" - 22" they don't know. 25-60 mph winds they don't know. Thursday is all they know.

we have a warning, or a watch, or whatever, but who knows what's going to happen. We've had some significant melting, so there's lots of ugly dirty snow everywhere. At least it will cover the dirt.

about six inches today and we're set for another 8 tomorrow. A lot of knuckleheads off the road, business as usual.

Hang on, I just looked outside and it's DARK! and there's a less bright sun out too.

Oh no, we're fucked.
