Calling all SACRA members please pass on this important information to anyone who you know that isn't a cold lover.....

Three top tips for warm lovers on how to prepare for the winter season…..

Step 1 - Cry

Crying is a useful first step, not only because it releases anguish and dread for the upcoming winter season, but it also gets rid of excess tears which would no doubt freeze in your body otherwise. It is important to note that when wiping away your tears, you should NOT use tissues that have been layered with any type of moisturising lotion, as that will only add to the potential icing danger.

Step 2 – Book a Trip South

While the Gods have cursed you with a yearly mini ice age, they have also bestowed upon mankind the gift of flight. From any major city across the land, air planes leave each day to exotic tropic locations where the only ice that can be found is the type that floats tranquilly in a refreshing alcoholic beverage.

Step 3 – Fake an Injury At Work

A wonderful extended vacation can get very expensive. In addition, as employment law and human rights tribunals have not yet recognized the inalienable right to ‘tan and keep warm’, employers are often reluctant to let workers depart for months on end. The only rational solution is to fake an injury at work and then claim long term disability benefits. For those who might be adverse to such a technically ‘illegal’ activity, please keep in mind that you may also choose to sustain a real injury. Heavy equipment can be found at most workplaces, and with a little the help from gravity, you could be well on your way to some sun and fun.

Hi PM

Just joined the other day, and I notice we may live in the same village....

I tend to read these forums during winter as the weather tends to affect my daily commute to Stockport somewhat - if we do live in the same village I expect you understand my issues :) Despite that, I always wish for lots of snow!

I don't have much weather knowledge, just find this all interesting.

Hi MM,

The nearest village to me is Middleton By Youlgrave which is around half a mile away. Yes i understand your commute to Stockport can be very tricky in winter, from around these part's for sure !

NetW is certainly the right place to keep up to date on the weather prospects over winter in detail. Keep checking the MOD thread for long range trends, you will soon pick things up.

Welcome aboard.

OK, newbie here, but I thought I'd add a short video clip I took in April this year...was stuck there along with many other for best part of 2 hours as visibility was zero.
