LOL! 2 pairs of socks! I had 2 pairs of trousers on last night. A thick pair of socks (ski socks from Aldi. The best is the woollen socks from M&S bought at bootsale for £3.50, properly savvy staff buying up clearance stock. Bargain and that was 5 years ago!)

Morning all very cold windy snow showers and drifting with the wind ,We had to set off at 7 am this morning grandparenting duty’s as all the schools are shut and the parents had to go to work .
I wish I could have that kind of duty. Be careful if you need to drive or walk on a trodden pathway. Make sure Mrs Zenji has shoes with proper grip, a scarf and gloves. Last night, I saw a man slipping on hardened ice and we laughed about it just after that as he didn't really fall. But be very careful when you are out and about!

Hi,
A bit of snow and the UK grinds to an halt.
Another 4" of snow fell during the night and it was still snowing at 7:45 as I headed out after breakfast; I still wear my summer gear being wrapped up like an Eskimo; I've just posted on my workshop thread but here's a copy; I've just knocked off;
On with two pairs of socks; heavy work boots; two thick jumpers; heavy work coat; one wooly knitted hat with ear muffs; one flat cap over; coat hood pulled over these and a pair of rigger gloves; 220' of wide pathway; patio; 40' decking; around the new garden shed ; the driveway and finally find our Yeti under last night's snowfall all whilst the breeze was blasting me with powdery snow; I've never been keen on winter sports and all I want to do is spend some time in peace in my workshop. Retirement here in Yorkshire is a punishment rather than a pleasure.
60 years ago kids walked to school in worse weather than this and schools didn't close.
Kind regards, Colin.

@johnny canoe You must be laughing your head off seeing all your mother hens shivering and some moaning about the cold and inaction. Today is meteologically FIRST DAY OF SPRING!

I knew this would happen, a heavy snow will start this afternoon. March is coming in like a lion.
I hope things warm up soon for all of you across the pond.

Hello alp,
Not laughing right now since checking the forecast for Calgary.
If you have to be out, dress in layers and keep moving, you will be quite toasty. And what ever you do, don't get sleepy and take a nap outside, you won't wake up.lol

We had 7/8" of rain early this morning but it's clearing now. Our temperature is 60, but that is supposed to improve, too. I'm so glad I got the second planting of onions and the lettuces and carrots in yesterday. They got a good drink!
Those of you with snow and bitter cold, I hope you stay safe and warm, and that Mother Nature rewards you with a fine spring and mild summer.

Hi,
It's finally stopped snowing so where's my personal cloud Blackie with his rain?
Kind regards, Colin
