Post by Nozza » Tue Feb 06, 2007 7:11 pm

Tomorrow and Thursday is forecast for "heavy snow". Same for most of the country really.

On "Five Live",earlier today,Everton Fox said that up to five inches of snow will fall on Thursday,but he said it will be mainly across mid Wales,central and southern England.

Serves um right!! :evil:

Is this like the 'bit of windy weather' we had a few weeks ago? Blizzard conditions? Arctic snap? Heavy snowfalls? Well bugger me, I bet it's about 10cm in about 24 hours... However will we cope?

I was on holiday in Barbados a few years back,and got talking to two lads from Vancover,who had gone there to get away from the snow.

They told me that as they where taking off,the snow was level with the wings on the plane. They asked me if we got any snow in Bolton,when I said ,"yeah sometimes we get two or three inches," they collapsed laughing and said,"fu*k me man,that ain't snow,thats a bit of frost!!!"

I felt quite inadequate really.............. :oops:

Fortunately not in the cities where we Canadians live - although possibly the annual total is that. A heavy snowfall is seldom more than two or three feet in 24 hours.

Edit: Having thought further about this I think 31 feet might be somewhat exaggerated, but since I'm not sure of the context I'll reserve judgement.

Do you think Everton Fox's parents might have had a fondness for mints? He appears to be named after two? :?

Snow is fine on Christmas cards and in Eskimo movies. Not much use for anything else.

Going to be chaos here in Londinium tomorrow, scheduled for heavy snow at around 5am onwards. Definitely a day for working from home, methinks.
