Newton Abbot, Devon.
Freezing cold with sharp frosts and no snow.
Don't want any either.
Makes getting around a real pain especially when our Council doesn't grit the roads.
Roll on warmer weather I say.

Got tons of snow now :)

Spent most of the day watching the Councils 2 JCB Diggers and 2 Lorries trying to dig the village out of snow and to ferry it away- only for more to fall on and off all day :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Made me giggle that, whoever thought that was a good idea??

Cheers

My school shut at 10.30 today and it's shut tomorrow. So I have had a half day and a paid day off tomorrow. I dug out the car for half an hour.

No one else in my street bothered. My colleague three streets away, had her street cleared by all the neighbours. Three hours of diggin. She now has 6ft piles of snow on the pavements.

I have met about 8 folk from more than 5 houses away, great to chat to them. We cleared to old folks drives and they came out with hot toddies and rolls of fried food.
