It's flipping cold!

Well, the temperature has dropped a few degrees up Lincoln way, and I whacked the heating up a couple of notches to compensate. Brrrr… mind you, it’s not as bad as the southern US with its ice storms, or western France with its major storms in the last week or so. My Dad (and Mum) who lives in France was saying that he had to go up onto his shed roof to stop the corrugated roof blowing right off. It was so bad, he had to kneel on the roof so he didn’t get blown off. He ended up carrying rocks up to put on the roof to stop it disappearing into the distance.

Anyway, it looks like the weather people were right for a change. Reading posts on a couple of the forums I’m on, a few of the guys and girls are saying that they’re getting smatterings of white stuff, but nothing heavy as yet.

We had flurries up here earlier; indeed, the wind was making it blow horizontally up the road at one point! I went out to deposit some rubbish in one of the bins, and decided there and then that I would not, under any circumstances go out again today.

Ooh… and as I type, the flakes have started falling again. OMG! And some chap has just run past my house, in tracksuit and running shoes with bobble hat on. He has to be mad!

Right, I’m off to make a hot cup of coffee and challenge my youngest to a game of Raving Rabbids.
