As the old expression goes, will Britain catch a cold??

It'd be nice to think so

I caught the news very briefly this morning at work & the size of the flakes :shock:  :shock:
It was like someone was shaking a bag of white crisps in front of the camera

What was it?, 26inches of snow in places & falling at 3 - 5inches per hour :shock:  :shock:

That's an amazing amount of snow

I never seem to get snow on the days when I can go play, it always happens on work days.  And now I've got the RR, I've got no excuse for a day off! :cry:
