Stormy Weather

Morning salymap
More snow here but not a lot and Daughter One managed to get off the drive and slip and slide off to work.
A terrible thing indeed for the Home Service to say on such a momentous day! I hope they played something by Dvorak!

Morning salymap and fellow storm-troopers,

Very nippy here in Wessex but no snow (touch wood). Just off for my Friday painting lesson (working on my second Venice canal painting). The journey involves a lovely walk across the Water Meadows from Salisbury to Harnham. Must take my camera to catch this amazing morning light. I should be back this afternoon.

Hello Chris

Sounds idyllic. Cold 'n' bright in this neck of the woods. Heating on full blast. My Colin Davis Otello has arrived, so hope to sample that later. Hope the lesson goes well.

Hi Sal

What an amazing coincidence. Cold but plenty of sunshine. Hope the coz makes it down from Hampshire today. Must have a (rather late) breakfast. Up until 2am finishing a review, so slept in a bit. Bliss.

Good evening, stormers. I would like to report that a small amount of snow fell in my locality this afternoon. Not enough for it to settle, but it definitely snowed.

Morning/Evening salymap
Fish and Chips indeed - hope you enjoyed them. Like you I think I will give Praetorius a spin tomorrow. Hope you are avoiding the heavy snow we have up here with more forecast to follow - even on the overhead motorway "signs" Daughter One tells us!

[Mahlerei]

Hi Sal

Hope you enjoy it :)

I hope you enjoy it too, salymap and anton, and I look forward to hearing your views.

Snowing here, and it's showing signs of lying.

Saly, ctrl+ enlarges my type on this forum.

It is snowing here in a way I haven't seen for decades and we never got to Sainsburys to stock up on the 3 for 2 soups!!!

Hey there, fellow board members!! It was gloriously sunny here, down near Brighton & Hove!! Sympathies for those members who have been caught in the snow or greatly affected by it. We live right opposiite a Tesco Superstore(which very reecently, rathercunningly I think!), opened its dpoors fropm 6am to midnioght 6 days a week!! Iwas wo dering our roadwas becoming rather busier

Morning all from Kent/SE London. I can see a VERY thick white frost but not snowing yet. Can't help thinking at this rate it's going to be a very long winter. I remember climbing the Malvern Hills in a snow storm at Easter once. I remember 1947 [just] and,Ithink 1963, when an elderly aunt got'trapped' with us for amonth and everyone gotvery tetchy.............saly

'Morning, saly.

The tops of the cars here have a little layer of snow but it's cleared from the surface of the road. Probably lying on higher parts of our hilly city. A bitty cold too. Brrrrrrr.

[secret squirrel]

when was that, saly? You ust have been either in the flush of youth with a 'i'll be fine!' mindset or (which I imagine is the case) you know the Hills well enough not to get lost; a common occurence still for the unaware...

I once heard a lovely story about CS Lewis and Malvern Priory: he was a boy at the school and one day he had to attend the Priory one winter and went in before a snowstorm. By the time the service had left he exited via the long porch to a snowscape lightened only by the victorian lamp set amonngst the snow-clad conifer trees.....

A familar scene from a certain 'wardrobe', I think!

Frost here in Guildford.

Somebody appears to have been sprinkling icing sugar on Kinder Scout overnight.
