We're in for a cold snap....
« on: 14 November 2013, 19:37:00 »
...from Monday onwards.

Can't say how much snow there will be, but wintry showers will start around then in the North and the cold is expected to stay for a good few days, with most of the UK feeling decidedly wintry.


Apparently.. ;)

Met office and met check are warning of it but nothing to worry about for this month anyway. Will just be cold with wintry showers.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

I'm taking advance orders for fresh newlaid snow. Cheap as chips at £30 a ton plus mileage (includes 'natural wastage' due to fluctuating temperatures en-route & subject to a minimum order of 100 tons which for comparison purposes is just enough to cover Mr Opti's Smallholding in approx 4" (thats 100mm in new money ;))!) of Virgin Northern Flakes  :y.
Simply PM me with your enquiries & i'll get back to you asap 8)

That's a fair price but remember his is coastal snow, so will melt very quickly due to the salt air, if however you want virgin inland hill snow give me a shout..... ;) ;) :y

Delivered by Jeep........ :y :y

They've been out wasting money gritting here. Salt has made the roads pretty slippery* yet it hasn't dipped below zero overnight yet. ::)

* - Felt that way from behind the wheel of the VXR8 I had an opportunity to test drive. :-X

This was standard but certainly made the 3.2 feel a bit asthmatic afterwards.
