Weather reports from the forum ?

Not much more snow overnight, but lots of snow drifts over a foot deep. No buses in Bristol at all and roads pretty quiet. Advice is not to travel unless absolutely necessary. Just started snowing again. Off for a walk later with SWMBO as it is stunningly beautiful out there.

Hi

12 year old just waiting for friends to turn up and go sledding again like yesterday. Wife, who cannot get into Shepton Mallet for work just suggested a walk down to the pub for lunch (about 600m), now that's an idea worth pursuing.....  Don't worry, I might be sometime!
Some trivia - Scott of the Antartic parents are buried in the village and used to run the old brewery here.

Seen just one car go down the hill (very slowly) since 7 o'clock this morning.

Cheers Paul

In Grimsby it's so windy our snowman has blown over twice during the last two nights so yesterday and today I went out and rebuilt it.

Nice, Martin! Your snowman is classic.

Here, it is snowing in the mountains above us. The wind is so fierce (gusts of 60 mph!) that while it is not snowing here (blue sky) the air is thick with snow. It is a balmy 31F but the windchill is murderous.

No snow here overnight, nor yet today. Lane still blocked, so walked the three and a half miles in to Bury St Edmunds, whipped by a howling, freezing gale.  Bought my copy of Wargames Illustrated, did my shopping, and got a taxi back to within four hundred yards of home. Once home time to thaw out the condensation pipe on my boiler (again, for the third time), and then settle down to read the 8 page spread on our new FK&P Rules. Pity they didn't take any of my offered corrections regarding errors of identification in the pics of my figures.  All 10mm  labelled as 6mm!

I did a  quick drive into the local village, which is about a mile and a half away., early this afternoon.....The road was pretty good, apart from a stretch of around 400 yards....I went, at that point, because it had just started to snow. (Very lightly).....By the time I drove back (barely half an hour) the whole road was definitely getting a bit on the 'iffy' side, and the snow was coming down a lot harder.

NOW.....I wouldn't try it.

I'll have to wait for the tractors again tomorrow......Or just not bother. 

Cheers - Phil

Yeah, been there, done (doing?) that. Condensing boilers really are rubbish.

Went out today for a walk down to the town for the first time since Wednesday. The town's main roads were all clear but sideroads and pavements should only be approached by people on foot with the skillset of Torvill and Dean. Started with the proper falling white stuff about an hour ago, before then it was just sleet or small hail or hard snow or solid rain, couldn't really work out which. All our football matches have been postponed so I can't even get my weekly live footie fix. Damn this weather!

I downloaded my eCopy this AM and it's presentation might be different than the print version. Virtually everything was Simon's 28s but they had two pop-up side bars. "Scale and Time" which was illustrated with one of your 10mm M&P units ( although there was no specific caption for the picture). The "6mm" sidebar had several pictures of what APPEARED to be your 6mms. Maybe they listened to you for the e-copy. 

The article was a decent overview without egregious errors that I noted. (Did say a Brigade was two to eight units - it's ONE to eight - and that is rather important to know, imho).

Still a few roads blocked near the Irish border but 95% of roads now clear thankfully

[jimduncanuk]

I managed to clear a path to the wargames hut as well as clearing the front garden path and the car.

No more snow since so I expect a general thaw to start tomorrow.

I'll maybe get some wargame work done this evening.

Popped into the logical supermarket, plenty of food just no milk or bread.

Still coming down here. Think the northern storm has gone and the southern storm has arrived
