I have to say have you ever heard such piffle




"For the first time in 4 years, we had a snowfall to be able to get out and
get the sledge out..It's been amazing here, sledging down the hill, falling
into frozen streams, with the full moon lighting up the snow fields, another
astonishing day to conbine with the absolutely incredible white xmas.I have
no right to expect anything else out of this winter, and I won't.. I've had
my lot. I'll never forget this winter ever... "


"I'll never forget this winter ever....

Well Tom the "old pal's act" eh? Trying to hype up a fluke 48 hr period of
cold weather......
making it out to be far more than it ever was. That sort of statement
reminds me of Robert Maxwell on the Wogan show in the mid 80's he said quote
"I want to be remembered as the man who saved the daily Mirror" As he was
saying those words the pension fund was disappearing.

Why won't you forget this winter Tom? Oh yes that's right it's the severity
of this prolonged cold spell.....don't make me laugh. it's pathetic and
dishonest to suggest as much

The joke is if you check his membership details on TWO they have him down
as living in Russia?

So where does Tom Presutti live to accumulate so much snow?

Don't bother reading his stuff anymore..... The guy's full of it... always
predicting snow and ice etc. That's why TWO love him.

Seems fair enough to me. He's not talking about the severity of the
conditions, just about the beauty of it and the impact that that had on
him. I can understand that. There's nothing to beat a full moon shining
on a snow cover.

As to where he lives, there are quite a few places in the western side
of the country that he could be.

well in the name of balance, just to say that not all places had
anything like what was described.

Here in North Devon, Christmas Day had small hail, sleet showers with
one shower of snow pellets that filled up the house gutters.
It seemed to turn less cold on boxing day with rain showers and only a
trace of small hail in them. Ground wet, and certainly not a white
christmas
Ordinary two day cold snap.

Now we have zonality to look forward to

Well I've just sprung back into action and in hindsight maybe I was unfair
to Tom with last nights post.
I suppose what I was trying to convey was Tom reacting as if it was a winter
of a lifetime, there was a tad of snowfall in some areas West and North West
mainly. It was interesting watching Match of the Day yesterday evening and
seeing some snow on the pitch periphery at Ewood Park Blackburn in
particular.
Back to Tom okay I was a little harsh, but I couldn't help but get this
feeling of making the event far more than what it was-a cold snap. The
objectivity of observations and statistical evidence will show that the
Heralded "Snow Event" did'nt really amount to much. The only thing that
makes it a little bit special was the fact it was Christmas Eve and day that
some light snow fell. It would seem where Tom lives there was plenty. Where
does Tom live? He doesn't live near Miguel, does he? That would explain
things.

Tom is from Stoke on Trent occording to a profile i just clicked on

today

Yes if Tom was in Stoke, well Matt Cappers shots from Staffordshire (in a
recent post) look pretty impressive


Sorry Tom.

It's interesting you mention Ewood Park.

I travelled down to Darwen (near Blackburn) to visit my mother on
Boxing Day - it was just magical.

We all went for a walk above Hoddlesden and I could actually hear the
crowd in Ewood Park when I took the following photos:

The first one is looking north from Pickup Bank towards the village of
Belthorn, with Blackburn to the left in the valley.

The second one is looking west from roughly the same location over
Hoddlesden, Darwen and towards Darwen Tower. The town of Darwen is
completely hidden in the valley just beyond the TV mast.
