Winter wonderland n Accy

Well its snowing!!! Doesn't that make it feel xmassy n bloody cold lol, was going to venture to town but decided due to the weather i'd stop in where its nice n warm n hope the snow goes away by tomoz.

I agree wholeheartedly. It is far too cold for any sane person to be out and about. According to the forecast the weather is set to pick up in the second half of the day and become a little milder. However, it set to become colder towards the weekend and there is even talk of more snow to come. A white Christmas is becoming a possibility. How nice.

You know, I am sure I could do this weather presenting lark just as well as Micheal Fish and probably a damn sight better than that Diane Oxbury.

here in Pennsylvania it's a lovely 5F. Don't know what that is Celsius. Just as cold, no doubt.

Acrylic-bob · 20-12-2004, 13:09

Five degrees farenheit?????? According to my thermometer that puts the temeperature at minus 15 degrees centigrade! OMG that is cold!

accymel · 20-12-2004, 13:13

Gee Pat that is cold!!! n i was moaning about it being cold here godknows the temp it is here at the mo, i thought the US was a warm place

Acrylic-bob · 20-12-2004, 13:16

Actually I just checked the forecasts for the USA and 5F /-15 C. is about right for Allentown, Penn., but Bradford, Penn., is even colder at -9F / -23C. Wrap up warm Pat and make sure you have plenty of wood for the fire.

yes, with a delightful breeze out of the N.W. at about 25MPH. A good day to stay right where I am.

Even though i absolutely adore snow and would love snow on Christmas day, in reality it would be very impractical. I have to do quite a bit of running around. I have to pick dad up then go to my sisters and also sometime in the morning or evening visit in-laws. So i hope it holds of until boxing day then we could have fun sledging or just enjoying looking at the snow whilst drinking a hot whiskey or drinking chocolate with brandy and baileys added to it.

Well, the 5 day forecast is for it to get a bit warmer from now until thursday and then...snow on Christmas Eve....

I am working on Christmas day, doing the night shift. If it snows here in Accy, then it will be twice as bad up at Queens Park. Being on the hill it tends to be a bit wild weather-wise in comparison to here. I really do not want to be on the car park for half an hour trying to dig out the car. This happened to me after a night shift several years ago and when you've worked 11 1/2 hours all you want to do is get home uneventfully.

Acrylic-bob · 20-12-2004, 13:42

I don't envy you one bit lettie, but I do admire you. I would not countenance working over Christmas for one nanosecond let alone working a night shift. I hope it will be a nice, quiet and easy night for you. Oh,and Merry Christmas!

If you're that concerned then you need to remember to take a shovel with you to dig yourself out.

lettie · 20-12-2004, 13:48

I always take a shovel in the boot of the car in winter, and have actually had to use it. It's a real bummer having to dig out after nights though. I'm usually lucky to make it down the M65 without killing anyone. I'm so tired I can barely see where I'm going.
I have 6 days off over New Year though, so that's something to look forward to.

That's a bit sharp tea.
