I can see the nearest lamp post out of the bedroom window and security light out of the front room window

I've been known to get the kids up at silly hours because the white stuffs falling - thats after I've been out and walked in it first though :wallbash:

The finest sleet detector has to be the car windscreen. Many's the time I've been out at night with a powerful torch to stare at the windscreen, looking for the first signs of snow in the rain, who knows what my neighbour must think.

If the car's in the garage I have a handy piece of window glass, about a foot square, which I run under the tap to pust a film of water on it, then stand outside with it above my head shining a torch through it...very effective.

Mrs Terminal gives a weary sigh and snuggles deeper into the sofa.

Saw this thread a couple days ago, but was busy, errr, lampposting. I have a 90w SON* on the corner overlooking the yard. I can see it best from the back door or though the upstairs curtains "(Don't disturb those curtains again!"..).

I like the term "lamping" BUT round here they'd think you were poaching at night with a errrr lamp...

O/T but I find fir trees ideal during daylight hours.

*SON lamps are the rather nice champagne colour wereas the older awful orange ones were SOX. And yes in a former life I was a civil engineer, and did a stint in Local Authority Happy days....drinks.gif ....but sad ....whistling.gif
