You should enjoy those rules, I've had some good games using them. But no beer.... :(

New rules will get you through times of no beer better than beer will get you through times of no new rules . . .

Or something like that.

I must admit I was surprised when I heard that. The forecast for today was good and the snow is mostly gone here in Bucks, I'm sure it's pretty much the same in Oxfordshire. I was all geared up to run a pulp skirmish and buy some toys.  :(

All clear here, too mild for gloves even, and light rain to boot.

Down to an inch or two of snow here now - was around 8 or 9 inches. Wife was down at Irvine on the West Coast yesterday and said it was clear there. Should be able to store the snow shovel away for another year (or two?) now (fingers crossed).

p.s. During the blizzards I decided to "improve" a pre-painted 10mm scale stone bridge by texturing the walls, etc. with fine sand then painting over them. Made a real mess of it!  ~X(   Oh, well, back to the painting table .....  :(
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

All gone here, apart from a couple of heaps 'wot I made' shoveling snow from the drive.

Just back to the 'normal' wet of Wales.

Normal in Bristol now, but still bad in parts of the Cotswolds that has 6' snow drifts over the weekend. Parts of the A46 still partially blocked by snowdrifts.

The last time there was a lot of snow I was at Nantwich market with my sister. Someone had cleared around the outside stalls and made a nice pile of snow, then graced it with a label: Scale model of Mount Everest - £5!

I like that !  ;D

Has been a knock on effect over here.....The supermarkets are starting to struggle with incoming deliveries.
When Von did a 'shop' this morning, she said there were an awful lot of gaps on the shelves......(And not necessarily the stuff that folk tend to panic buy).

They were hoping to get another delivery of milk (there was still some there, anyway).....But reckoned all the milk would be gone by the end of the afternoon.
I know a lot of dairy farmers haven't had their milk collected and have simply had to 'sluice' it away.

There was virtually no bread.....And the sandwich shelves were completely bare.
Lots of other stuff had virtually run out too.....The weirdest one to me was the cans of 'fizzy pop' shelves were almost empty.

Hopefully back to normal in a day or so.......At least we still have mains water, unlike a lot of folk in the South East (?).....The only problem we've got, now the water has unfrozen outside, is that a plastic/nylon tap has been trashed.....So that needs replacing before we can feed the supply through to the big barn.

Hoping to travel down to Albanich on Saturday from Edinburgh.

I'll be taking the A702, then the A74(M), then the A701.

Anyone been down that route recently?

FWIW....

Its sunny 60F and windy here in Oklahoma, USA!
