Down to minus 10 tonight, and more snow tomorrow. :(
My other half is complaining, he says he goes to Norway if he wants snow!

It snowed a bit more last night, people go silly in the snow - can't seem to drive more than 40kmt even when the roads are clear.
Some people can't be bothered to change to winter tyres, and then they drive verrry slowly - after tha last few winters you'd think they'd cottoned on!!

We had about 5cm in the night.Just finished clearing the front and side of the house.I thought i'd be quick cos last time it snowed i waited too long and it had turned to ice. :roll: That reminds me i must get a proper snow shovel.The garden spade i use takes too long.

We invested in a proper snow shovel a couple of years back - it makes clearing really easy.
There's just been a little flurry here. Last night it was down to about -15! Brrrrrrr!

Getting really bad now in Oldbury - all local schools are closed - I have a visitor for the day, lying in bed with his Kindle HD and the electric blanket on.
There's no place like home ......
