It's going to be 36C tomorrow Mon: 28/11 and 35C on Tuesday mmm just a little bit of snow would be nice

...... Remember good people in the picture perfect Christmas card climates that when you have to crank up the home heating system and have a wee dram to warm you up we have to crank up the airconditioning and have a cold beer to cool us down

.

Btw we don't really need ESP on our cars our rubber sticks very well to the hot bitumen

This morning at 9:30am

-5C on the drive

No snow yet!!!!

Now where I live I'm surrounded by water on 3 sides and this tends to keep the temp up.

Just motored some 10 miles "inland" and it is actually warmer -1 to -3C.

Climate Change or what!!!!

Love it Leon

Here are various shots from my house and a trip 16 miles inland today...........

Back garden hasn't been cleared at all yet..........................

I'll get you out soon baby!

View down the street.

Kim doing her bit for the elderly neighbours.

I'm getting closer!

The paths cleared but it's still snowing.

Ahh, the road is here!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Let's drive!

Snowy countryside, there are hills over there but they are out of sight.

This is a dual carriageway, I think we are lucky there is even one lane!

Dry here today, all remanants of snow gone, but was -12c when I left the house this morning.

Not gone above freezing all day.

Leon.. Nice job m8 - make a good xmas logo

(Wouldn't come up on my laptop until I right clicked on it and the put the pix location address in a separate browser tab?)

Brian: Thanks for the photos.. a real eye openner for us Ozzies (and so pretty too) but guess some of the novelty wears off if you have that much clearing too often..

, 35 years I've been in Oz now and my blood would be too thin to survive there not to mention my driving skills couldn't handle those condition either

bumpkin · **Reply #581: November 29, 2010, 09:01:33**

-22.4C in Glenshee (where I told Trevor to drive over) last night, think the wind was 15mph giving a windchill of -48C.

bumpkin · **Reply #582: November 29, 2010, 12:23:23**

Has been snowing constantly since 10.30am and we now have thunder and lightning with it!

So I've put the car up the drive next to the house and put my half cover over windows.

A crisp November morning in South-Western Finland, the sun rose at 9:01 am. Temperature is -16°C and ground is covered with 4-5 inches of powder snow.

Current temperature is -21°C, considering to switch on the underfloor heating on my house...

Yesterday afternoon I crafted a mask for lower front grille of my i30cw. Its purpose is to reduce flow of ice-cold air to the engine compartment, thus helping the CRDi engine achieve normal temperature in decent time and allow some heat to the cabin as well...

Just about, not much sign of ploughing or gritting going on but hey-ho, you just have to get on with it!

Only -1 this morning

Oh, That'll be the snow doing that

Guess I'm doing all the driving today

ESP on or ESP off?

Shambles · **Reply #589: November 30, 2010, 08:06:57**

1.5 inches of hard crusty cold snow/ice

But at least it gave me the chance to see if my arse still hurts when I land backwards on it

It does

Forgive me for this post guys n girls in the lovely snow and chilly lands where you live

but today here in Perth WA it was our hottest spring November day (37.2C) since records began 100 years ago and it has been our dryest spring in 40 years

.............. Having reached the age where my hairstyle is 'skinhead' through age ! rather than choice the sun burns your bloody head just walking to the car from the shops, Still first day of Summer tomorrow

Who needs summer when you can have another day of snow

bumpkin · **Reply #595: December 01, 2010, 09:47:38**

Still snowing up here, took an hour to clear the drive and another hour to drive the 3 miles to work.

This gives an indication of the amount of snow I have shifted, this is only one part of the garden, there are humps of snow at this height all along both sides of the drive, so the full length and more of the car, then again at the back so more than the width of the car. Current height of the shovelled bank is about 3.5ft / 1M.

Coming out of our estate this morning with the snow still falling, there are supposed to be pavements to the left but we are now on day 8 of the snow and not one walkway in the city has been cleared even once, yet they want us to walk to bus-stops or work?? Crazy.

Approaching work, so much snow that the buildings of the university are completely hidden.

Oh my... almost catch a cold! (EDIT: poor Dazz already did!)
You'd never find a Caterham in there

Looks like they keep up cleaning the motorways so you can go to work (is this good now?)

Is the youngun enjoying it?

It's a wonder they still want you to go into work with all the problems being reported

bumpkin · **Reply #599: December 01, 2010, 20:15:03**

Our school is open and still expected to attend the workplace, they have allowed us away an hour earlier to allow additional travel time all this week though

Youngun is lovin' it, although it is just a tad too deep for her little legs
