Happy New Year

I see my name's being taken in vein again!

Happy New Year, one and all - even if a little belated.

Heavy snow up here for most of the day - had to cancel a visit, as I wasn't
sure of being able to get home again!.
Seems to have stopped now, with 3 inches on the ground (it's on the way down
to you now Joan - have fun in the am!), and the local council have
reportedly run out of grit/salt.... Oh Joy!

Well it's half way through the day before I get in here and wish you all A
Happy New Year.

I've been baby sitting all morning so only just getting the chance to be
online, hope everyone has a good year ahead of them.

Harry, since your post has been up for a few hours with no replies I can
only
guess that the "regulars" are too deep into adult beverages this New
Years
Eve. Feliz Año Nuevo.

Yes. My neighbour abandoned her car on the way home from work this evening,
along, apparently, with half the town. Hopefully the grocery delivery
tomorrow evening will still happen! And the firewood delivery Friday. And
the coal delivery that _began_ with an as good as unspecified date but
hopefully will arrive sometime this week!

The bit I find amazing is they have it or are supposed to have it worst dahn
Sarf! I can just see the fuel deliveries coming when the cold snap's over.
At
least I'm not a brass monkey. Small mercies. Yes, that's what I call a Happy
New Year, a little behind! And I plan to lose the holiday excess elsewhere
by end of Jan. Wherever she is.

Lordy, only 3 inches?? Try a foot or more. But I forget that the UK is not
used to snow. I guess it is like our first snowfall of the year.........no
one knows quite how to drive in it. We had black ice and a lot of accidents
the past few days. So I wisely stayed in. Today it was about minus 20C
with the windchill. Bracing!! I actually did up my coat. (G)

Happy New Year, furball...........Figgs

We got it, just a small flurry in the morning then a couple of hours of blue
skies and sunshine before the heavens opened and we got covered. We had
another flurry in the night but at the moment I'm looking out at the
sunshine, although there are a few clouds about.
The schools are closed around here but the bus service is still managing to
run at the moment, just hope I get my grocery delivery tomorrow, just
checked my oil tank and I'm OK g

Anyway best wishes to you, even though you were hiding in my inbox for a
while I saw it on the right day lol

it's been a lovely day here - sunshine pretty much all day, even if still
cold (around zero C all day).
getting to the pub was a lot of fun If I can get there at the right time
of day I'll send some photos by email.

One of the schools around here has been closed since yesterday lunchtime -
and will be closed tomorrow because the heating's broke (someone forgot to
feed the meter?) They only opened yesterday morning!

I have enough supplies now to last me out the current snap - must remember
to get more before we get another one!

Well I got my groceries, and he was only about 10 minutes outside my
delivery slot but I don't think I'm going to bother trying to go and do a
top up shop tomorrow I'm not going to risk there still being any ice around,
I can't afford to fall g

Johns got to go out our kitchen light has given up the ghost so he's got to
go get a new fixture then my son-in-laws cousin will come and fit it for us,
although we'll probably get a 5 ' one instead of the 6' that we have now,
the tubes are easier to get and cheaper. It's not done bad though we had it
fitted just before we moved in here nearly 17 years ago.

It's been dry and sunny here all day but of course very cold and the
forecast for tomorrow is the more of the same brrrrrrrrrrr

You folks have been getting a taste of our warmer weather, it seems.
Tomorrow will be about 18F here.......forget what that is in Cent. cuz I
avoid it when at all possible. I can't "feel" how warm or cold it is in
Centigrade.

To stay warm.......layer your clothes. And Ron says.....get snow tires.
They are absolutely required here. Lordy, remember tire/tyre chains??

Off for a chicken dinner at Swiss Chalet.........keep warm.

Ah - the current temp here in Holywell according to my Vista Gadget is -12C
(10F)
This is about 3C colder than it was when I woke up this morning
How true this is is anyone's guess - all the thermometers in peoples' cars
only registered -6 this am.

No point in tyre chains here since we're in a one in 50 year event or
something like that. Chains are a sensible investment if snow and ice is a
regular feature of one's winters but that's not the case here with this
winter seemingly being the worst since the 1960s. Temperatures in central
London tonight are predicted to be -3 to -4C (25-26F) with down to -9C (16F)
in surrounding towns but apparently it could get as low as -20C (-4F) in the
countryside. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr. Thankfully we have the Gulf stream since
otherwise we'd be a lot colder here in London given that we are 8 degrees
further north than Toronto.

I hope you enjoyed your dinner.
