All clear on the Western front here as well.  

I've got a 20 minute walk in the morning as well to show my face at a careers day.  I'll have to seriously way up the benefits of increasing the old YTS scheme against the lure of spending the day in my filth pit.

I'll be happy if it means I can't go to college but still blag a day off work. Incidently I found out today that college is still running on Good Friday. I'm going to make sure I get that time off in lieu.

Little ones first proper snow dump today (that he was old enough to play in anyway). We build a snowman then he cried his eyes out and "didn't like snow" because his hands got cold as we couldn't find his gloves (bit like Zaboub would I'd imagine).

You had a snowball fight with your horse? That's just mean, you know she can't retaliate due to the whole "hoof not hands" thing.

We've got a good 2-3 inches here (Coate), but obviously told the missus it was 9 inches easy, just out of force of habit.

I watched the snow fall last night whilst watching withnail & I, smoking fags and drinking white ace. top stuff.

After a cup of tea I'm off to find my old green plastic sled (not sure I still fit in it anymore) and play like a crazy 8 year old somewhere - possibly lawns. Well until I get cold anyway.

Snow is ace.

I went and found my old school plastic green sledge which my dad had, then I went to the lawns and had some sledging fun. Then I had a snowball fight with my friend Nige. Then I put my plastic green sled on my back and walked home pretending to be a hero turtle. Now I've lit the fire and I'm warming up and drying off.

What an ace day.

Moaning bastards. Its been below freezing here since January 27th - average temperture around -8 (and thats without the wind chill) - plus 6 inches of snow on Tuesday. More snow expected, and its unlikely to get above freezing for the next two weeks.

Ben's got the right idea.

About ten minutes ago it started belting it down here in Swindon centre. Proper big flakes from 50p piece size to £2 coin size, it were proper bo I tell thee!
Now it's gone back to poncy rice krispie sized rain-sleet.
Snow is great, but it's embarrassing the way it turns 90% of the population into dribbling incompetents who appear to lose all ability to stand up straight or drive a car in a line at the correct speed.
That said, I'm driving to manc tonight and I hope they all stay at home because there's guaranteed to be at least one of the cunts who decides to flip their people wagon at 35 miles an hour and block all three lanes of the M6. Thus rendering my journey even more fucking infuriating than it already will be travelling to the north west on a friday night.
Looking forward to spotland tomorrow though, it won't be called off. :|
