Well so far we've only had two days of these cold Northerlies and to tell u
the truth I'm totally ****ed off already. How anyone can say they love Snow
[Will and loads of others here] in this country at least is completely
baffling to me. After all the alpine/continental type clear crisp cold stuff
hardly ever transpires here so i dunno what all the fuss is about. For the
most part its dull, damn freezin, and thoroughly miserable and I'm in west
London too! which is hardly - a bearing the brunt- location. I been out all
day wrapped up too plus am quite used to the outdoors and I come home
feeling really exposed and in need of a hoyt bath and i'm going to bed
early. Has this something to do with such a kind winter we hads I wonder? I
tell you all these Will Hands in the world won't convince me that its
exciting. Exciting? what the heck is he on about. What has really put the
tin hat on it is I checked the BBC long range and oh God no they are
forecasting this flow well into the first TWO weeks of April!! How
thoroughly terrible is THAT for a thought. At least the sun if it comes out
at this time of year could compensate it slightly. But you get no sun out of
Highs to the NW and Lows to SE in East and South Eastern areas, which is
predicted. I'm in the wrong country I know, I should be wintering in
southern Spain. I'm retiring soon I know were I'm going from NOV - MARCH
from then on. Anyone back me up here or are you all lily livered Will Hand
supporters?

Dave.
I,m with you all the way on the southern Spain bit, We have a timeshare out
there and just can't wait to get out there.
The snow here is total crap, I used to love it as a child in the sixties but
now its bloody unpleasant and miserable. I just long for some warmth.
Good luck mate.

Regards. Len.

Ignoring the direct references to people here, and concentrating on the
weather aspects; you get my vote!

I've just driven home from Sheringham in a "snow" storm, which true to
lowland England, was actually a sleety slush-fest. Thoroughly nasty.

Thankfully I chose to drove this time, rather than cycle - otherwise it
would have been truly miserable.

Roll on summer!

You can call me Lily ;-) But seriously there are lots of people on here
that agree with you, but they still put up with the snow lovers, pathetic as
we are at times. ;-)

Dave
P.S - we would prefer the good old fashioned, dry Alpine stuff as well.

Each to their own but I'm with you 100%. Never could understand the

ROFLMAO

I love extreme weather.

Cold, hot, snow, rain - Bring it on.

But this stuff ain't extreme. It's flippin' soul destroying!!Cold damp
and miserable.

Add to that, today, my two kids (7&9) asked "Dad, in the old days, did
you get real snow". In the old days!!! I'm only 40-something! Just adds
insult to injury.

Maybe I ought to move to Dartmoor where they have real weather!!! . . .
.. . ;-)

At least your "diatribe" post cheered me up.

Thanks

Neil

I'm with you part of the way.

I love clear crisp frosty weather and dry powdery snow, but I
hate it when it turns wet and slushy, and when it's grey, damp
and raw.

Hi Dave

Same to you and yours. Funnily enough we've hardly had any precipitation
a couple of light and brief hail showers has been our lot, plenty of sun
too but that's been well offset by a cold north westerly.

Cheers

Hi Dave,

Came back from a fab week in Tenerife, to be met by 8.5cm wet snow at
0900z.
Yes it was wet, cold and slushy, but still out with the sledge at
1030z.
I am a young at heart late 30ish, and stunning as as Los Gigantes was
today's snow brought me more excitement )
So I'm in Will's camp on this one
Ps....Not forgotten you suggested I was a moron for stating 7.5 hrs
sun and 14C in Feb was "Springlike" )

ATB,
