This cold spell has cured me of my desire for snow for a while.

We have nearly half a metre of level snow, deeper in places, I have
been snowed in since Monday, I am running out of bird food, and now the
Sky dish is full ot snow.

I know what you mean Trevor, the wind yesterday was blowing ice off
trees. I was being ice bombed after I had a tooth out. :-(

You mean you live a fair way up Scotland and didn't think ahead so can't
whack the dish with a broom handle to remove snow or ice deposits?

50 cm of snow makes walking difficult but it has to get to 1 m of dry
powder to be real hardwork and not worth the effort. But perhaps you are not
a normal healthy, reasonably fit, person.

You are now reduced to eating eat bird food in Dundee Trevor?? I know times are hard, North of the border, but I didn't know it was that bad. *))

We had heavy snow on one day for about an hour. It dropped about 4cm. It stopped me getting somewhere I needed to go, due to an accident on the road outside my house, as the surface was treacherous for a short time. The journey I made 90 minutes later, when the road cleared, was difficult to the A380, but the landscape was pretty. My missus made a snowman in the garden, but it has now all gone.

Like you, I've seen enough snow for this winter.

There must be a HUGE amount of water trapped in all this snow. I am
thankful I am near the top of a hill. If it really does melt quickly
tomorrow then it will be momentous.

I have recorded 3 sky dish clean-ups (with the floor mop) this year. In the old days, before I had sky, I recorded none - its global climate rising that is the culprit I am sure.

I remember the other extreme when I was young and fit. Ploughing my
way through the Empty Quarter I came across a youg woman buried in the
sand.

She asked me for help so I asked her what happened to her and she
said;
"A bunch of Arabs caught her and robbed her and stripped her naked and
buried her alive... and would I please help?"

So I said: "What's in it for me?"

And she said "I hid half a jam buttie from them."

Yes sea levels are set to prosper.
Makes me wish we were all fishes.

None here the last one was a quite a while ago but generally speaking we get
dry powdery snow that doesn't stick. Freezing rain on the other hand has
given us problems twice in the past.

er...

Was pretty evil out late last night lot's of blowing snow in the F5. Shifted
all the drifts around the odd one across roads a couple of feet deep but not
as bad as earlier in the week.
