Weather comes in from Siberia

We finally get some real snow!

You have been having pretend snow?

Compared to this stuff, yes.

It looks and feels different, this is the kind of snow that goes 'kerrump' when you walk in it.

If the snow goes "geroff" when you walk in it you are standing on a homeless person

Thanks for the tip.

my pleasure

Of course.

I might think of snow that goes 'kerrump' when I'm at Gosnells next week ...

Nothing here to speak of apart from the odd flurry

I got to the station at 6.40 a.m and there are no trains, so I walked home.

The bus service is down across London. The Croydon trams are down. Chunks of the Tube network are down.

I could make it into work hours late, but the snow will fall all day, so I won't get back out....

London used to have harder winters than this. Why can't we cope with a bit of snow?

Looks like an annual leave day!

It's been reez up in Qld, but the mail is that the weather down in Adelaide has been blowing straight from Satan's armpits.

Phurt, I used to walk 5 miles to school in 2 foot of snow.

Is that when you were a Womble?

Rob, we didn't have the kind of traffic we have now back when we had really hard winters and no lived quite so far away from their places of work as they do now and we have loads of council workmen with shovels to clear the footpaths.

Plus we're soft and refuse to walk anywhere.

I've got me wellies ready warming, I shall be kerrumping with great pleasure to work.

You do that. Will you be getting hot under the collar again there next weekend?

No, you didn't. Don't say things that aren't true.

Well, I'd like to know where the buggers are. I drove the missus up to a tube station at Heathrow and there have been no gritters out. At a major airport. And the station was shut. This is just arse.

Maybe it has been sub-contracted to the Ities?

Imported Euro gritters would be handy. I've worked with some Poles and Portugese on construction sites and they know how to work.

Oops, I meant to say we had council workmen back then.... It was better when we had toen and borough councils and not these metropolitian faceless ones.

Anyway, I kerrumped to work in my pink spotty wellies and it was lovely, nothing better than powdery snow.

It's all bloody Boris's fault.

No snow in N Scotland. You bastards. I want to Kerrump too...

Plenty of crunchy stuff in the park of the ghetto
