Re: weather??
 

I shoulnd't think so...I'ts a Christmas Greeting from one ex pat to another.
Let's push the boat out....Feliz navidad.
The only Skunk I have encountered in Spain is one character from the midlands who tried to con me out of 500 euros and missed.
Feliz Navidad means............Happy Christmas :tongueout or depending on traslation...a merry Christmas.

Very high quality navy rum ... mixes with anything; but goes best with saliva:alright: And having just shovelled out my driveway for the third time today in a vain attempt to keep ahead of the snow, I am ready for at least one:dancedog:

Re: weather??
 

Woods Navy at 100%....Knock out drops.....Great stuff. :)

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

Ok ... the Friday storm is over ... and the city is already back to normal .... but, wait, tomorrow we will have another, bigger and better storm:dancedog:
And the good news is that it might warm up to -4 .... right now it's -15 (probably over -20 with the windchill):eek:

Re: weather??
 

Another 15cm of the white stuff .... I think I'll take my camera on a tour of the hood ...

Re: weather??

Re: weather??

2009 set for icy welcome in Lancs (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Re: weather??
 

Thats a bit like saying it will either rain or go dark before morning panther,:rolleyes:

Re: weather??
 

Went down Blackburn this morning, it was freezing. It was also snowing, hope it doesn't arrive here until tomorrow. Don't think it will as it would have been here before now.

Re: weather??
 

I thought I was seeing things... I did see a car with snow on it:
A bit of snow would be well good....

Re: weather??
 

we had a smattering of snow earlier, you couldnt really tell tbh

Re: weather??
 

they say we will have some snow this weekend.... that would be good it will hide all the rubbish in my garden from new years eve....

Re: weather??
 

It's trying to snow here a litte bit, not sure if it's forecast, will go and have a nosey!:D

Re: weather??
 

I hope it gets a bit warmer by Wednesday - I have to come out of hibernation for chiropody

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

Snowing hard up here in Bash ATM and sticking

Re: weather??

Re: weather??

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

My only New Year resolution was not to go out on any day that has a Y in its spelling, until May that is:D

Re: weather??
 

it was on the radio at lunch temps tonight -9

Re: weather??
 

We had about half a centimeter of snow here last night. It had frozen solid by morning so everywhere was a bit dicey first thing but it's been a lovely sunny day and the sun thawed the ice. It's bitterly cold, with an East wind, but I have more energy than I've had for days just because the sky's blue and the sun's out. In the sun, if you're sheltered from the wind, it's quite warm. :)

Re: weather??
 

Its on the cards to be one of our coldest winters..... my tooth is aching so I know its cold:

Re: weather??
 

I never usually feel the cold much.................but this winter i have been freezing

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

Long Johns:confused: At -9! C'mon, it's not long john weather until it goes to at least -20! The folks in Winterpeg, Manisnowba are probably wearing them ... but I guess at around -50 you need some protection:eek:

Re: weather??
 

Long John lost a leg a little to the left could have been a lot worse.:D:D

Re: weather??

Re: weather??

Thats if we ever get another HOT summer:rolleyes:

Re: weather??
 

I really think if we get a good drop of snow, it will help make a better summer:

Re: weather??
 

I was reading the other day that `allegedly` we are in for a hot summer.......and it should start in may..............yeah right.

Re: weather??
 

Is that start in May or it may start pipinfort:D

Re: weather??
 

I have read we are in for a scorcher summer too.
I have dusted off my aircon machine ready
Just call me an optimist :D

Re: weather??
 

Kinda like brass monkey weather:confused:

Re: weather??
 

You are an optimist ... ok;)

A republican, hibernating optimist:dancedog::hidewall:

And now, seeing as how we are in the middle of a snowstorm, I'll go outside and see if me and my trusty snow shovel can keep ahead of the storm .... thankfully, it's fairly warm: a balmy -7:hothothot

Re: weather??
 

Thats usually the case, but we have only had little drops, so does that mean we will get 1 day of sun:eek::rolleyes:

Re: weather??
 

Another 15-20 cm of the white stuff tonight. :eek: I might need a little help shovelling here. Any volunteers?:hidewall:

Re: weather??
 

C'mon guys, I need help here:eek:;)

Re: weather??
 

Shut up and keep digging:D:D

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

Attachment 13207.....yep still digging:D...........LOL

Re: weather??
 

That's a nice pair of rosy cheaks:D

Re: weather??
 

Think Eric's halo might have slipped long ago....:D

Re: weather??
 

and who said HBC did not employ people to clear the paths.... hey one can dream:

Re: weather??
 

My halo might have slipped, but I have a nicer ass than the guy in the pic:D

Re: weather??
 

Really? PM a pic....???? :D

Re: weather??
 

Spoken like a true bottom ender;)

Re: weather??
 

Snow and blowing snow all day ... but the temps were not bad, only about -2 ... but once the snow has passed thro', and Arctic High will roll in and temps will be dropping overnight to -25, with a high tomorrow of only -15 .... I think winter is alive and well :D Time to build my Igloo:alright:

Re: weather??
 

Tough tiitty pal, the temp in Benidorm is +16 grados. My goolies are safer that yours. :)

Re: weather??
 

22° C. here , tee-shirt and shorts weather , cherry trees are coming into bud , big problems ahead though , no rainfall again this winter , looks like water rationing next summer
:eek: :eek:

Re: weather??
 

Hey, what a coincidence, it's 22c here too .... well, -22; it's only a 44 degree difference:eek: The Big Chill is playing all across Canada today: Winterpeg and Regina/Saskatoon are about -35; and once you get into northern Manitoba it's around -50 ... just heard on the news, that the Polar Express is heading into the American mid-west ... don't bother to thank us; sharing is what any good neighbour should do:tongueout

If you don't have sufficient rainfall, what does this do to the fire risk? I sincerely hope you are not looking at another summer of California burning.

Re: weather??
 

Well here in ACCRINGTON!!, its 3 so...:tongueout:

Re: weather??
 

3c .... how boring .... :sleep:

Re: weather??
 

Down to about -30 tonight ....

Re: weather??
 

BRRRRRR to cold for me that...im freezing at just 5...lol

Re: weather??
 

looks like we are in for some really bad weather next week...... already bought a load of salt and sand.... its also a good idea to keep a bit of old carpet in the car in case you get stuck in the snow: this will help the tires to grip:

Re: weather??
 

The only people who get stuck in the snow are those who don't know how to drive;)

Re: weather??
 

Theres some truth in that ya know;)

Re: weather??
 

Nice sunny day; up to -12, but overnight with the windchill, it will be down to around -30 ... by Sunday/Monday, it will be up to a balmy -7 with snow.

Re: weather??
 

You'll be out sunbathing then Eric:D

Re: weather??
 

What have I missed?? Is the weather meant to be getting worse?

Re: weather??
 

No ... but I have a couple of moose steaks that I might throw on the bbq:mosher: ... washed down with some Moosehead beer (not recommended for limeys;):D)

Re: weather??
 

Gales and snow forecast for next 3 days
Met Office: North West England: severe weather warnings
A swathe of severe south to south-westerly winds will affect Northern Ireland, south-west Scotland, Wales and many parts of western England during the afternoon and evening of Saturday. Gusts to 70 to 80 mph are expected. Disruption to transport and power supplies is possible and there may be damage to buildings and trees.

Re: weather??
 

Ahhh, thank you margaret. Am gonna go steal some grit from the grit bins in preparation, my steps are so dangerous when they get slippy, not safe for the little 'uns going in and out.

Re: weather??
 

Should we believe them or not. Just seen this from the met office

North West England: Blackburn with Darwen

Heavy Snow & Severe Gales Mon 19 Jan

There is a moderate risk of a severe weather event affecting most of Scotland and Wales, Northern Ireland and parts of northern and western England.

Over England and Wales, winds could be more of a significant problem than snow, with gales or severe gales in places. However, there is still the potential for periods of snow to give significant accumulations across areas, mostly in the north and west.

Re: weather??
 

Lucky for you two, ive got two crazy kids running around. Can here the rain battering agains my windows and the doors are whisteling so tonights gonna be fun me thinks :rolleyes:

Re: weather??
 

The weather's quiet here, believe it or not, a bit wet but no wind but Nik has had to go into work (Scottish Power) on bad weather duty. She was on voluntary stand-by for the weekend and was told yesterday she would have to go in from 4 p.m. to midnight as gales were due.

She rang home at 9 tonight, to say good night to Laura, and I asked her if they were busy. She said yes, lots of calls coming in, a lot of power lines affected. I believe it's bad in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Re: weather??
 

Yaaay, its snowing

Thats the boys happy, there all stood at the window watching it

Re: weather??
 

took this after about 30 mins of snow from my kitchen window (im not a good photographer!)

Got more than this now though :)

Re: weather??
 

I hate it!!! If it carries on like this i dread to think what it will be like in a few hours. Ive had to ring my mum who works in Skelmersdale and warn her, shes now on her way home.

Re: weather??
 

Well ive rang the hospital and told them i werent traipsing over to Preston and theyre sending me a new appointment out in the post!!!! The traffic is going lovely and slow here outside.... I was also a good accywebber and took a pic of the road outside and sent it to entwisi!!!

Re: weather??
 

Hasingden bypass both sides is unpassable.took me 30mins to get from winfields to the corn mill at rising bridge:eek:

Re: weather??
 

The M61 and east of Blackburn on the M65 were getting a little dodgy about 90 minutes ago,although not too bad ... don't think will ever get unpassable. Just covering up some of the white line markings, but it is busy and most motorists were behaving themselves, staying on the inside lane travelling 40 > 50mph so was moving steadily.

The side streets around Clayton are OK .. just slushy.

Re: weather??
 

Top of Burnley Rd and Huncoat were getting pretty bad in the last 10 mins.............

Re: weather??
 

at last we have some snow...... but don't think it will stay around for long its very wet: ( Ossy)

Re: weather??
 

These were took about 15 minutes ago at rising bridge

Re: weather??
 

Just been out ant took these
