Weather winter 2010/2011

I was in my town this afternoon - brrrr. If every shop owner, especially those that are north facing side of the street, cleared their own section of snow/ice the paths would be great

I believe you, Mark!

Rgarding the weather: The Norwegian airports have no difficulties with the snowy weather, but no airplanes arrive. They are all stuck in other European airports!

Hoy, thanks for the link. Didn't understand a word of it but beautiful scenery and a few reminders that even in Norway snow and cold cause problems. Now what was I supposed to be doing for the last half hour

[Lvandelft]

Went to sweep the snow from my greenhouse roof this afternoon. Slipped off the low wall I was standing on to reach the roof and broke two panes of glass. Wish I hadn't bothered.

David, I might have some spare panes left 

[Lvandelft]

Oh, and standing on slippery narrow walls is not very smart ..... at your age

(But I am glad the glass did not perforate you!)

[David Nicholson]

Done, I'll take the lot.

Wish I lived nearer to you Luit I'd never be off your doorstep-all that space. Ohhhhhhhhh!

.... and, I'm just a slip of a lad really

[TheOnionMan]

We had our first snow fall of the season last night, all of 1 cm.  Sunny today, just above freezing, so this "dusting" will melt away.

[Lvandelft]

Wish I lived nearer to you Luit I'd never be off your doorstep-all that space. Ohhhhhhhhh!

This is only 15% of the whole (empty) greenhouse David

[David Nicholson]

Well, I wouldn't want to be greedy

The latest news report: "Air Canada has cancelled its flights between Halifax and London - with no word on when the flights might resume. "

I heard the authority that runs Heathrow made a profit of over one billion £s last year and spent but one million £s on snow & ice removal equipment.

John they are saying on the news programmes that money could be spent on airports and roads but we dont normally get weather like this. Our average December temperature is 7C.

N Ireland right now is colder than easter Europe. Over here we usually say it's Baltic outside even for a slight freeze. It's colder than the Baltic countries also

The forecast is for -27 in parts of N Ireland tonight
