    Anyone going sledging today then? I'll be heading out this afternoon for a walk then sledging got to be done.

    I just think it's too cold to enjoy or is it I'm just getting old?! 

    I would of been the first out but this time I'm enjoying it from inside! Even had to push the dog out for a pee this morning! The cats won't go out!

    Blimey that's a lot of snow heading our way! Been non stop here since I got up at 6.30. Lot of swirling, drifting and bald spots (pinching the description) lol. Suspect a pipe is frozen cos water isn't draining out of my bathroom sink ?

    Lots of people here are saying their having trouble with their pipes,wrap a hot water bottle around the pipe to defrost it

    I posted this a week ago for those who didn't see it

     

    I remember 82 started snowing first day back in work after new year and it didn't stop for three days

    Wife was 9 months pregnant and I was thinking I would have to get her to hospital on a sledge if she went into labour (lucky me she hang on until the 26th)

    Never opened my gate in over a week as you just stepped over it (you couldn't see it)

    Had to dig out the in-laws out as both their doors was on the same side of the bungalow and the snow was up to the eaves over both doors

    Took me nearly 7 hours to feed the horses on the mountain behind me (usually took an hour max walking or 20 minutes in the car)

    We were cut off for a week nothing in and nothing out apart from the train which was running hours late. Police on the platform to stop fighting as people tried to get on (I just watched and then went back home)

    No bread or milk or very little and they were charging a £1 for a loaf and a pint when it got through (about treble the price normally if I remember right)

    Worst of the lot the local pub ran out of beer

    This is what you have to look forward to :sorry:

    But I cant wait

    What did the temps drop to? Do you remember?   It's now -7 here without the wind chill! Think that's the coldest I've ever seen ...... So far!

    too right - my brother is a big part of the stadium down there too, he works there and has lots of responsibility for tickets etc Christopher martin - he just put a plaque on the memory wall for dad - which I've gotta go and see - dad would watch one match or three in one day on the tv then listen on radio wales or another radio station at the same time to more footy and then be reading about it in a newspaper - he loved his footy, I bet they'll be letting him watch as much footy as he wants now up in heaven - I hope so anyway - he's always in my thoughts now - he was a rock and steady man - 40 years a bricklayer - and then a taxi driver cause the winters got too bad for him before he finally earned his retirement - but this bloody disease just took all his dignity - luckily god took him away from us before he ended up in a wheel chair with no movement at all sucking all his meals up through a straw

    Edit - snowing really heavily now

     

    sorry to be so depressive about my dad - but I loved him - and my mam is taking it bad too - only man she loved for 52 years - the song "Dance with my father again" Luther Vandross is very appropriate - just sends me over the edge - sorry folks i'll try not to mention it again - and get back to the weather - which is what we are here for

    Know how you feel my dad had dementia and Parkinson's,bed ridden couldn't do anything for himself,not even pick a cup up to drink,God bless him, life can be cruel ?
