If they did they didn't mention it. Besides, I really couldn't give a flying poo what others think of my dress sense. It's a constant source of arguments between my partner and I, since he's always got to look just so and I'd quite happily go out in rags providing they were comfortable 🙂

Well, this is how it works in the UK:
Winter - Transport grinds to halt because of snow on the line, ice on the road, etc
Summer - Transport grinds to a halt because the heat expands the iron in train lines and pushes them out of position
Autumn - Transport grinds to a halt because of leaves on the line
So as a result we only sustain our economy by working blood hard in Spring...

Sure is!!
Although if the greeland ice sheet melts, it miht cause an ice age here in Europe. Last time a huge body of melted snow hit the Atlantic, it sent us into an ice age. It was all caused by America too 🙄

Fair enough. Just that some people in North America like making fun of the Gap even though they probably have 1 or 2 Gap products in their closet. I don't have Gap stuff, so I don't feel guilty about it. Something about sweatshops and all.
They tend to have nice, colourful scarves, mind you. 😉
I kind of knew that, but I NEVER saw snow when living in London. 😱 I heard about schools closing due to icy roads in Scotland several times, but I always assumed that there would be a lot more snow, and a lot less slush. I also imagined enough snow to slip on. 😉

I really like the last one. I like the way the railway draws you into the picture. It also looks strangely ageless - it could've been taken in 1977 as much as 2007, but that may be a comment on Vauxhall rather than the photo 😛

No- the trains *were* actually running during the snow!
Might not sound like such a big deal, but anyone whose spent too much time on (or waiting for) a delayed South West train, you'd think that it was an optical illusion.
I did did some slight photoshopping on these - adjusting the Contrast mainly, and making the last one black and white. It looks like it was taken on an ancient Zenit because the windows were pretty dirty and i set the ISO to 400.
No wonder we all have cars. Apart from me, im not 17 till next week.
Also is it just me or is snow romantic?

Thank you! I'm honoured that my pic is gracing your desktop. Speaking of which, what did you do to your dock?

I do indeed. I hope it wasn't caused by your firey arse getting too close to a leaky oil tank. 😱
We had our sleet this morning, but it didn't settle. More forecast for this afternoon, though...
I've just finished clearing the snow of four cars in the street (parents, brothers, mine, plus our elderly next door neighbours and their steps) and a light drizzle of rain has started to fall.
But at least the steps and cars won't freeze overnight, even if my fingers feel like their on fire.
No good deed goes unpunished, and all that. 😉

Yesterday when I got up it was -5º, but there was no snow.
This morning I'm woken up at 5AM by some idiot setting the fire alarm off, and I (thankfully) look out my window before I walk outside. There was snow everywhere, and it was still coming down heavily. Needless to say I put on some warm clothes, and laughed at the people who came outside in the pyjamas.

I woke up to more snow.
It wasn't enough to stop me getting into work (boo!), but it's forecast to get heavier in the afternoon, maybe as much as 6 inches (yeah!).

Nothing much to report snow wise here we've had a little bit of hailish stuff that's not melted away but that's it.
Good job we're not southerners or we'd be cowering in bed. 😀
