    But time and windscreen glass damage will surely have caused some depreciation?

    This will explain it, this is off the weather facebook page.

    Good evening guys,

    Some extremely heavy snow across eastern and North Eastern parts of England and Scotland.

    We have had almost 8cm of fresh snowfall here in East Hull and it's still coming down hard, an added bonus is that we have had over 5 cloud to ground strikes of lightning which makes it thundersnow!

    The odd strike is rare, but to have that many shows just how unstable it is out there!

    We are keeping an eye on a developing situation across the South East and Eastern parts of England Sunday/Monday with some further very heavy snowfall likely again.

    Kris will be doing an update tomorrow morning on this.

    A gentle reminder that we have our new text alert service online which is currently in BETA mode, the full service is expected to be launched Tomorrow/Sunday.

    We are still providing text alerts at the moment so if you want bespoke forecasts and the latest snow alerts for your area you can signup by going to here;

    Where was this Concorde Club?

    I've never heard of it but it sounds like my kind of place.

    As its -5 at the moment you are more likely to trip over it then stand in it. you could technically just pick it up, and instead of smearing said window, just lob it through their window as kind of a **** brick..

    What a brilliant idea.

    It's a big fat Labrador and it's regulation **** is about the same mass as half a house brick.

    It'd go straight through a window, in it's frozen state, from 50 yards.

    Happy days.

    You all need to go on vacation.

    The mountains around me are all covered in snow here, but it is so warm I am wearing shorts. All the trees are budding and even the humingbirds have returned. Not sure why they left to be honest, it isnt like it has even been close to freezing here.

    We're the hardest of all the European tribes mate.

    We love the cold, ****ing love it.


    A bit of snow and ice is nothing to the men of the North and we don't even know what a vacation is.

    I know what you are saying southerners here are the same way. I am originally from a town in Wyoming in the Rocky Mountains. When it snows there it snows in feet not inches.

    True story.

    Whilst on exercise on the Brecon Beacons in January 1990 the weather took a turn for the worse,even by Brecon standards.

    Three blokes had to get casevec'd off the 'hillside' ( more like a mountain) we were digging in on due to frost nip.

    Frost nip for those who don't know is the first sign of frost bite.

    What a set of ****ing fairies, all three from down south.

    Didn't even have the decency to have fully blown frost bite and lose a digit or two.

    Granted, it was a bit parky but they just made themselves look like a right set of cry babies.

    I saw this in my kitchen, but forgot about it a few minutes later. Thought it was lightning at the time.
