I've just remembered the damage caused by sliding snow on roofs long
ago and how we used to initiate it with snow balls.

First time I've seen leaden skies that I can remember too. Only 2 days
of it but it brought back memories. I can't remember noticing icy
patches on pavements the way I do these days. Nor walking on the roads
for safety.

Getting old has it's moments when I realise I don't know absolutely
everything.

And there is still death to come. I can't wait (but of course I won't
be posting about that one.)

If you do discover some way of posting then please do not send
temperature readings to this group. :-)
