    It's not good enough. Today's been mostly drizzle, and atm it's a patchy
    overcast with moonlight. I want several inches of snow /at minimum/
    tomorrow morning, so I can go out and play with the tractor. Clear blue
    skies and sunshine would be nice too.

    I don't think it's too much to ask.

    It's Champ's fault. He's holding back on the snow for Russia.

    Clear and frosty.
    And I have a carrot and some coal, so if you do get any send some
    here.
    Getting the bike bits out of the car and sorted would be a good idea.
    In that case, I want the sea to be a mile away and i want it to be
    summer.

    He's just jealous because he hasn't got a sidecar.

    Met Office say:

    "Heavy Snow
    Affecting Bath + Ne Somerset, Bristol, Gloucestershire, N Somerset,
    Somerset, S Gloucestershire, Swindon & Wiltshire
    Outbreaks of rain are expected to turn to snow across Shropshire,
    Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire this evening before they
    gradually clear away to the south. Meanwhile, rain further south is expected
    to turn to snow across the West Country, Devon and Dorset later this evening
    and into tonight before clearing away southwards. Snow accumulations of
    around 1 to 4 cms are possible at lower levels with up to 5 to 10cms over
    higher ground. As that snowfall clears southwards temperatures will quickly
    drop and widespread ice is expected to form causing dangerous driving
    conditions."

    Naturally, they lie like a rug.
    Carrot 'n' stick here.
    Nothing wrong with getting your bits out.
    Will there be snow?

    Pineapple is another exciting food when mouth ulcers are about.

  11. Sometimes ukrm amazes me. From sidecars in the snow to mouth ulcers in
    four posts.

  13. Everyone's pissed off here because we've only had 2 days of rain since
    last June. Rather pleasant for me (20+ on the patio and bloody hot in
    the sun), but we need rain for next years olives. And apparently, if
    there's no water in the lake, the flamingos won't come. So send some of
    your rain for the sake of the Andalucian economy.

    We had snow last night, I only know this because my four legged weather
    station came in covered in the stuff.

    Arse!

    I've just realised what the 'censored' item on the shopping list was
    yesterday ... Marmite. Pip can't stand the stuff and couldn't even
    bring himself to write the word on the list when I was going through
    the cupboards. I kept looking at the list as I foraged in Tesco, but
    couldn't for the life of me think what 'censored' was.

    Now then, should I send him out to buy me a jar as penance?

  19. Would a metre or so of snowfall plus a snowmobile in the garage also
    not be too much to ask?
    It's enough to make one pine for the fjords. :)
