Come on lads.. we are rough tough Northerners

I have more snow in my fridge so don't let the southerners think we are going soft....

PS - I'm lying through my teeth and have had the heating on full blast all day only venturing out for a 5 min walk to the local Italian Bistro for a coffee and cake also dropping off a parcel at the post office. I was suitably attired in Arctic survival gear.

We're snowed in here (Suffolk) too but every cloud has a silver lining and it means that, since I can't do anything outside, I can spend all day in the shed with the heating cranked up...... A couple more days of it and I should get the new model pretty well finished!

Get a grip lads, get a grip! What's happening to you Northerners, you've all been 'softyfied'. It's just a normal winter in the UK. You've all been mislead by the previous warm winters since 2010. 1963, now that was a 'winter'. I was 15 and living at the Elephant and Castle in central London. Had a foot of snow over night(Boxing day) and it didn't leave the country until the end of March. I remember it well, not least because we had an outside toilet!!!

...... and the Daily Sketch just wasn't absorbent, particularly when frozen!

Our local Ice rink will open this afternoon.

But with a windchill of -19°C

I think I'd rather go to the indoor rink tomorrow for my twice-a-week Shorttrack routine....

Swapping blades for less than an hour of longtrack also isn't one of my favorite jobs....

I love the snow, thats not the immediate problem. If you've not worked with animals it will be hard to appreciate what a frozen water supply entails - carrying hundreds of litres of water from the house to the kennels, manually keeping an airgap water tank full (its feed is frozen), bathing dogs in a teacup cos the grooming room shower has no water, maintaining a supply of clean bedding for 40+ dogs when the washing machines have no water, and as well as all the usual routine kennel stuff, theres been the access road to clear & salt, frozen boiler feed to fix, heating oil to transfer, customers cars to push... thats what I'm fed up with, the snow is lovely
