Went to Sainsbury's this morning and bought a disposable BBQ.
The cashier was a little surprised.
I explained with the threat of a snow storm in the next few days, it was going to be handy to cook on when we lose our electricity.

If it's not needed then it will be useful anyway with the BBQ summer we are going to get this year.

You heard it here first.

Classic Len, you made my day with that little gem.

Yesterday I made a comment on twitter, after receiving Met Office snow warning after another, then updated warnings, that I was getting snowed under with snow warnings. It got a laugh.

It does seem to have been a bit chicken little snowmageddon headlines.

So far the amount of salt and pepper snow I have seen today in North
Yorks wouldn't merit any comment at all. It didn't stick and was barely
noticeable. Perhaps it will be different tonight but so far so good,
(unless you like being snowed in)

In all fairness, Monday was never going to be much.

I went to M&S today and stocked up on food and wine. You can never be too sure in East Scotland, as I learned in 2009/10 and 2010/11.

Just an update on the BBQ issue.
We did indeed, as I predicted, have a power cut.
It only lasted 5 hours so we had no need to fire up the recently purchased BBQ.

No worries.
It will be useful for the eagerly anticipated BBQ summer we will get this year.
