The "Manchester" Snow Thread

bastards! i live in leicester and its just cold here. no snow at all. when i lived in manc we never got snow. Now i'm not there and its snowing!

U reckon i have a chance of getting to the game tomorrow!?
 
just got back home in Rammy, left the house at 6.15 this morn, spent over 3 hours getting fucking nowhere on the motorway and just about managed to get back.

had to dump the car at bottom of hill and walk another couple of miles to get to my front door.

Manchester has ran out of grit, you couldn't make it up.

Moan moan moan at a bit of snow!!!

It's over 30c here and im sweating my balls off.

Only thing for it is to finish at lunch, grab a case of ice cold beer and settle down and watch the cricket this afternoon before lighting up the braai and having a big juicy steak for my dinner ;-)

I used to like you ;)

pmsl, was on the phone to my mum and dad last night. They are in Heywood and they said the weather/snow is horrendous and has been for a few weeks. I watch sky news and they paint a grim picture but you think, it cant be that bad.

Fuck it guys, stay home, stay safe, what else can you do?
 
I live in Altham, near accy, and for the 2nd day running I'm snowed in!!

**gets on knees**

"oh lord, stop the fucking snow!!!!"
 
Emergency Weather Bulletin

This text is from a county emergency manager out in the western part of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan after a severe snow storm ...

The Mining Journal,Marquette, MI

WEATHER BULLETIN

Up here in the Northern part of Michigan we just recovered from a Historic event --- may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with a historic blizzard of up to 14" inches of snow and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10's of thousands.




FYI:


Obama did not come.


FEMA did nothing.


No one howled for the government.


No one blamed the government.


No one even uttered an expletive on TV.


Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit.


Our Mayors did not blame Obama or anyone else.


Our Governor did not blame Obama or anyone else either.


CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, or NBC did not visit - or even report on this category 5snow storm.




Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.

No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House.

No one looted.

Nobody - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something.

Nobody expected the government to do anything either.

No Larry King, No Bill O'Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No Geraldo Rivera.


No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand,
No Brad Pitts, No Hollywood types to be found.






Nope, we just melted the snow for water.


Sent out caravans of SUV's to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars.


The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn't ask for a penny.


Local restaurants made food, and the police and fire departments delivered it to the snow bound families..


Families took in the stranded people - total strangers.




We fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman lanterns.

We put on an extra layers of clothes because up here it is "Work or Die".


We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of a mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes for 'sittin at home' checks.


Even though a Category 5 blizzard of this scale is not usual, we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.
