Default Glory Awaits?

OK guys, it's still on and so close we can almost touch it!
But remember to please keep your toys in the pram if
you don't get the snow you think you deserve
Not all of us will make it, but good luck everybody,
we're going in.....

Should this newsgroup close down as a precaution?

If that's true, then how ridiculous! There are going to be some very red
faces if the snow fails to materialise.

3 years ago snow was forecast for this area. We had a little but nothing
like what had been forecast. No problems on the roads - everything normal.
Everything, that is, except for the council's refuse collections - they
closed down for the day. I (and many others) complained and was told the
weather had been too dangerous for the collections to be made. I disagreed
but they insisted the weather had been too extreme :-(

Lazy sods had arranged the day off (paid) the day before and stuck to it in
spite of no bad weather.

Glory awaits??

Not here! Temp 5c and rising and DP has also shot up to be above zero in the
last couple of hours.
There will be nowt but rain here, but then we knew that all along!!

The only real snow down here comes with a raging Continental easterly and a
Channel low.
