UK ALERT SNOW WARNING DANGER ALERT

My internet connection had been down since Monday because of the snow. I really enjoyed the couple of days off work and the general relaxing. Amazed at all the moaning from people on TV and the stupid fucks who spent 2-3 hours trying to get in to work. All the complaining about lost productivity and how a few days of no work are a disaster - laughable. It was a great time for families to enjoy time together and little children to have their first experience of heavier snow.

Hope it happens again next week.

for those who dont understand the impact this has on london transport... they close the trains sometimes if there are too many LEAVES on the track :lol

To be fair that is because they have allowed the trees to grow so that they over-hang the tracks. That was never the case in the past. And when leaves are compressed onto the lines they end up massively reducing the friction between the wheels and the track, something akin to teflon, and the trains have difficultly pulling away from stations or slowing down. They've actually been cutting back the trees across the network so that this problem is reduced.
 
South Sweden got hit during the night.

3rd time we have snow this season.
 
Snow is back in Lincolnshire again, with a Vengeance!

Just had more snow fall tonight than the we've had over the past 2 weeks :O

its about 7-8 Inches deep now, yikes (and we had a shit load of rain also).

This February has been completely and utterly crazy.
 
In the UK i can't remember such a long bout of cold weather as we have had.
We used to have it for a week or so, but it's been bitterly cold since new year and snowing on and off for way over a week maybe 2 now

I heard someone say its predicted we're getting a heatwave this summer too. I don't know if that's true. Yay for extremes! :/
 
Wow, it has been crazy for sure.

Today it was sunny, then cloudy, then sleet, then some snow which settled, then hailstone and then rain. What. the. Fuck.

They better not fucking moan about droughts and start hose-pipe bans this summer no matter how hot it gets.
 
I'm 50/50, if it snows too heavily I can't collect my parts for my media pc I'm getting delivered to work and I can't go to the pub for the lunch we agreed on today, but then if it does, I don't have to do any work and get to stay in bed :lol

Isn't that the South East of England's favourite hobby?

Exactly...

For me, this option overrides any previously mentioned above.:P
