My wife and I have been sweeping the paths and it is a bit icy out there. I may have done a Triple Salko or Double Lutz !

As long as you weren't dancing the Nutcracker.

Oh ! Schrodie news. His inner eyelids haven't been fully retracting so we took him to the vets, they said that he had a temperature . He has been a bit windy and it has developed a bit so we are now letting his tummy settle a bit. He doesn't understand .

It is still snowing here, it is micro flakes which are blown into drifts leaving bald patches in places. I'm watching a programme of the Big Freeze of 1963 at the moment , it was bad then .

Wasn't so bad in Norfolk. We didn't have to play football for months.

We have a damp patch on the staircase wall.On closer inspection this morning a plastic pipe leaving the boiler is leaking the joint is loose.It was not as i first thought snow blowing in from outside where a hole had not been sealed.Luckily i caught our heating chap before he left home,he will be round sometime today.

Postman got me thinking. Should the plastic pipe outlet from the bath be glued? Ours isn't & a while back I had to push it back together.

Our cat is now poorly . If I have any better news I'm sure to let you know.

vet visit?

Some roads were cleared enough for emergency access yesterday.... but today impassable again. The wind is causing some huge drifts. All villages are pretty much cut off again

I don't think our front door fits very well into the front door gap:

I don't know. It has one job to do...

I remember the 1963 winter, I was living in Kent at the time.

Our bin is out waiting to be emptied, though I'm not hopeful the dustmen willl be round, but it got blown/knocked over so I've been out in dressing gown and slippers picking it up.

Leicester snow watch: When I went to bed last night we had a few millimetres of white covering everything and it looked quite nice. this morning someone has swept all the roads, paths and driveways leaving the snow piled smoothly and neatly against walls, and the tarmac dry. I can't remember this happening before.

 

[Hill Wimp]

We have the freezing rain and howling winds. It's stuck to the windows.

 

[Threevok]

Not gone to work today.

I think I could manage the snow OK, but the winds here are bad.

It's like a white sandstorm

I can remember it as well. I can remember being off school for ages due to frozen pipes and heating issues.
It was also the year that "Puff the Magic Dragon " was released, I can remember skating around on a duck pond with a friend singing it.

I remember it well. I couldn't play Rugby for three months!
