Sorry, I meant ‘of this winter’ as someone says that pretty much every day through every winter.

Too cold? In Newcastle? Poppycock! If you see a Geordie in a coat, the heat death of the universe is imminent.

Christmas decorations up in Bradford.


No council decorations on yet around me.

There is a large house on my street that is a Montessori Nursery, thats got lights all over it. Schools start early though was at my sons Christmas Fayre yesterday.

Then in the next street over a couple of houses that go nuts with the decorations (the sort of thing that makes the local paper) have all theirs out.

Had another IP65 plug box put at the front of the house last week as my son wants to put lights up at the front of the house.

We have a big tree in town, no lights though yet, and lots of snow.

Put my tree up at home yesterday :)

Didn't plan to, but had to bring out the decoration box from the attic so that I could put a load of unwanted toys in there behind them.

So my son spotted them and that was the end of waiting another week.

He was in the box again this morning telling me we needed to add more lights.

Still, so far he hasn't pulled it down or thrown any baubles against the wall so big improvement on last year

Got all the decorations down from the loft over the weekend, and the house now looks lovely. However, whilst in the attic, I found that we have both mice and condensation. Booo!

The kids school is closed but they announced it quite late. Too late for one mom it seems as I saw her walking down the road to school with her pushchair and 3 kids.

I would have said something out the window but this is the same mom who has let her dog shit in the street so you know.. I left her.

No snow for me (Berkshire) car has a little ice on it this morning.

Current forcast is heavy rain at the weekend, but that could be snow.

Hope we get a bit of snow as I don't think we have had any since my son was born.

Expecting metric fucktonnes on Sunday.

Oh, you should have, not for her but for her kids. It’s not their fault and it’s bitter cold, and if it puts her in a foul mood and she’s not a nice person they’ll likely bear the brunt :(

Maybe she’ll step in her own dog’s snow-covered poo this morning and see the error of her ways.

Probably depends whereabouts you're going. Some parts are worse than others - and it depends on how close to a main road you're going to be. Side streets, estates etc all really bad in our neck of the woods.

Well, I will be arriving at the station and getting a cab to Newport. All will probably be fine.

A bit of snow here overnight, which made making two trips to the post office with a dozen or so parcels particularly challenging. Thankfully for the bad bits, my YakTrax over my shoes keep me upright. From there it was just a case of finding somewhere convenient to take them off and put them back on again.

Snowed a bit om Thursday night in Manchester and then froze quite hard, so wipers were stuck to the screen and took a while to Clear. Brightened up, mid-morning and then I had to drive to Ellesmere Port in the afternoon. It rained more and more the further I got out of Manchester, and snowed quite heavily as I approached Cheshire Oaks. By the time I was heading back at 5pm, most of the snow had gone, but it was still raining and sleeting until I got to Altrincham, where it was dry, with no sign of it having rained at all.

Went out to get my ears lowered at 7.15 today and there was a light frost on the Fusion, and it’s snowed a couple of time during the day, but none has stuck.
