Default Sledges ready?

Hi Will,
I guess you will see some snow up there sometime this winter. For me, I am
not so sure. Although we have had snow on the ground, (particualrly last
year), there has always been a complication.. not enough, not cold enough,
or rapid thaw. Still, the kids and folk around loved it.
My post was relative to the dreary looking charts at the time, and although
there were signs of a 'blip' 1 or 2 days ago, things look back to normal
again ;( .
Still, January is 2 weeks away, and I really hope something can break this
setup.

Well I used my sledge to good effect last year and it is all ready to go

*when*
the snow hits this winter !

One Sunday last winter it was like Cairngorm mountain up here on Haytor

with all
the car parks full and people parking on the road, ice cream and hot dog

stalls
and people whizzing down the slopes on plastic bags, sledges, bums etc

etc.
Sadly the next day it was all gone.

Luckily I had my very own short sled run in the garden.

Whhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Will.

Before long, it'll become an antique...


Is that a long range forecast?
