it f*****g snowing again and the hotel i work at is high up on the edge of the north yorkshire moors the snow is quite deep, had to dig my car out of the snow just to get home, might not get into work tomorrow !
I know what it's like when it snows around there Karl - good luck mate! More snow coming down here, and the temp recorded at Woodford Aerodrome, four miles from me, was the coldest in England (not UK) at -17 when recorded. Actual temp outside my front door, taken on two thermometers, one digital, one mercury, was - 21 degrees at 04.30 hrs this morning. Main roads passable, my street still blocked with ice and cars.
Clear day today with a bit of snow overnight. Pretty cold, around -5C all day.
I know what you mean Terry about those who can't drive in the snow, I may have only passed my test in the last 4 years but I still have had a fair amount of snow driving experience (especially compared with you down South), so it doesn't phase me to much. Plus most of the time I am driving my mum's Freelander so it's 4x4 which does help. I actually now quite enjoy driving in the snow (especially in large open spaces ).
41C is getting a bit hellish, it is alright if it is a dry heat (like I had when I was in Madagascar (apparently we peaked at 52C!)) however humid heat is just unbearable. You need some wind on days like that or a nice cold swimming pool or both and a cold drink...
3pm here and in my suburb it's 41C/106F at the moment! 45C/113F in the shade in the carport according to the thermometer hanging out there.... No Sh!t..!!
