Snow

[bluethrunthru]

Just watching the Sky news papers review - the front pages - particularly like the Mail and Telegraph are embarrassing. I know we don't get this every year but it happens often enough to be better prepared and our news outlets should me such mard arses over the whole thing. I mean like Barcelona and Naples have had snow and have reason to flap but FFS us???? Jesus people !!

Never eat yellow snow!

.......probably not the Brown stuff either!

To be fair, it's the most snow i've seen in a long time in Glasgow, thought it was just going to be a over-hyped dusting again but not the case.

Those of us who remember the winter of 1963 laugh at this dusting.

I know I'm going to regret asking this but here goes anyway.
How much snow are you expecting to get?
FYI, we're getting 10-15 cm tomorrow

You are right it is embarrassing the way the media carry on about a bit of snow. Get the photo of the new born lambs( they seem quite happy in the white stuff). Sweden gets plenty of snow in winter. The main airport Arlanda in Stockholm has never closed due to snow. Same in the worlds snowiest airport Oslo.Six months and it will be too hot. Warmer than Athens. The UK is full of idiots who read crap newspapers.

10cm in the outskirts of Manchester to the east, it's about 2cm - 5cm outside my house in Gorton atm.

thr snow ain't too bad it's the temperature, this morning feels a lot colder than yesterday supposardly -5° to -7°C and the wind chill.
(I know you get it colder probably)

About 4 inches in Chadderton and blowing a gale so some of the roofs are clear....we don't normally get 'dry' snow which is a bit more er....dry than the usual stuff.

Not too bad in Prestwich so wtf.
However I've half a day booked off to go to t'Emirates tonight so I'll be mega pissed off if it's postponed.

Cheers mate, the boiler just came back on in the middle of the afternoon.
I'm going to London to London tomorrow so Mrs sf has left instructions for it to be left on all night and day so that it doesn't go off again.

Wise woman.

Covered in Radders. I'm just debating whether to bother going into work today. Fucking freezing building with no heating and concrete floor and i can't see many customers 'popping' in today.

Not far off a foot here. Schools all closed again.

Got any details make, type etc? I doubt I'm anywhere near you but ive a few pals who can help with a diagnosis/possible cure. Worth a shot.
There's a few boiler threads on here somewhere or post your own maybe. Plenty have offered help/advice in the past.

 

[manimanc]

100 mile an hour winds in offerton, horizontal snow, arctic conditions, snowstorms everywhere, gridlocked traffic yet the silly twats at my kids school have emailed to say business as usual.
Knobheads.

I live just south of Edinburgh and we got 25cm yesterday which is quite a lot compared to our usual. Some poor sods spent the night on the Glasgow to Stirling motorway. Our response to weather like this is pretty amateur because it is a relatively rare event.

Already sorted ta - its the condensation pipe frozen I think looking at the manual and going through the restart procedure. The guy who fitted it agrees and is coming out later today - common enough fault in extreme cold. Nice new combi boiler too - whereas my knackered and expensive to run back boiler that it replaced never ever let us down - progress eh?

I'm saying fuck all. Mine's ancient, been patching it up for years.
