    They said on the radio that there's a yellow snow warning. Yeah, I know - don't eat yellow snow.

    Just went to walk ours and the little ****er refused to go, did the turning himself to lead trick in the hallway, after I’d got the Antarctic exploration kit on. Wise hound, it’s rather parky.

    So that's where the poor fella's been hiding - in your gimp cave. Is he still reciting QPR-based poetry for you?

    -8 here in the South of France which of course is very unusual. No dramas

    Snow forecast tomorrow so expecting the mountains to get a lot of snow

    Off to Girona Friday to Tuesday and again I expect no dramas because everything works in France.

    90 mins quad biking near Chester yesterday

    Pretty near perfect conditions - sunny but cold air temp (but feeling warm on the quad!) and lots of mud....

    Excellent location and great track to thrash round at the end for a few circuits. Great to just have 2 of us plus the leader too, so able to keep the pace up

    When I wasn't getting stuck in the mud :grin::grin:

    The dire forecasts shouldn't be an excuse not to get outside....though currently looking for an excuse to skip my outside Tough Mudder training tomorrow <yikes>

    Apart from the fact that I am a Brit, but now with dual nationality, I really like such weather (but in moderation).

    A long walk with a sunny clear sky, with crunching snow under your feet and icy fresh air is wonderful. It really gives you energy.

    The lab loves it even more than me! :)

    Finally coaxed the dog out for a stroll and we got caught in a blizzard, snowing heavily in Leamington Spa, when it wasn’t forecast to.

    Currently at Center Parcs. Fair bit of snow yesterday and overnight, not really much today. All of our activities that we'd book for today have been cancelled, but on the plus side I'm £150 better off and currently sitting by a nice warm fire with beer in hand.

    It’s all a bit **** really, not enough snow on the ground to have a decent snowball fight with the kids and I get a text message to say I should be prepared to pick the kids up from school as it could be shutting.
    Embarrassing

    Yes and after the news each night we get two weather shows hosted by weak meek idiots. Makes no difference to England
    Snow it all stops
    Rain then it all goes very slow
    Sun and it’s global warming

    Lottery half the time

    My train from Shepherds Bush to Clapham got cancelled because bad weather had been forecasted. At least wait for it to get bad. Weather is fine and the Overground is running fine. ****s.
