Damn rightWFH means I can't skip work due to being snowed in, but the HR regs say a reasonable temperature is required in the workplace so I'm smashing up the radiators in the house. 4d chess
Where’s thatAll quiet on the Eastern front so far. A bit of rain but no need to go building an ark.... if the forecasters are to be believed
Between Cromer and North Walsham in North Norfolk.Where’s that
Theres 5 inches of snow herePathetic, it's just a light dusting. Apparently they've even closed a few schools round here, seriously!
I don't remember schools ever being closed in the 1960's when more than once we had several feet of snow.

Lived in Malvern for nearly eight years and still haven't been up the hills! My neighbour goes up regularly and is determined to drag me up there this year! I'll soon be 73, so not sure how high I'll get!Bloody show off, looks beautiful there!
Bernard Tranter and Gordon Tickle (Cresswell, Woodlands) took us there in about 1966, so we could walk the length of the tops of the hills. Loved it.

I thought that was December 1989? It was indeed a Saturday.I was thinking last night about an unexpected snowfall in early December 1990 , if I remember it happened early hours of a Saturday morning , my mum and dad were in the pub trade at the time
The had the admiral codrington opposite the canal basin my dad had me outside the pub about 8 in the morning digging and salting a path from the front door of the pub to the bridge into town and towards a block of flats that a few customers drank in . My reward for the digging was a bacon batch and a coffee then being told they were going to open all day and I was working . Happy days
I remember this very well! I was supposed to take a small group of lads from Bell Green Youth Club, pot holing in the Derbyshire Dales that day. I was due to meet the minibus at 9am. As I stood waiting in the car park, the snow fell heavier and heavier! Needless to say, our pot-holing trip was cancelled! We went a few weeks later when the weather improved. I think it was that year that I completed the Three Peaks Challenge aswell, but that was in the June. Still freezing snow on top of Ben Nevis though!I was thinking last night about an unexpected snowfall in early December 1990 , if I remember it happened early hours of a Saturday morning , my mum and dad were in the pub trade at the time

Yes it might of been 89I thought that was December 1989? It was indeed a Saturday.
We were living in Sharnford at the time, and I got up to go to Radford (Jag) for overtime, got as far as the M6 junction, and turned round and went home as it was coming down so thick.
Best decision I could make. Several others abandoned their cars on the way in including my mate who lived in Green Lane.
We were snowed in in the village for about three days! They said at the time that the Hinckley area got it worse than anywhere else in the country.
