As the old expression goes, will Britain catch a cold?? (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/13/nyregion/13cnd-snow.html?hp&ex=1139893200&en=d446e3ac0d8ae49f&ei=5094&partner=AOL)

I caught the news very briefly this morning at work & the size of the flakes :shock:  :shock:
It was like someone was shaking a bag of white crisps in front of the camera

What was it?, 26inches of snow in places & falling at 3 - 5inches per hour :shock:  :shock:

That's an amazing amount of snow

Well it'll bring us a lot of work, one way or another, be it RTA's or little old ladies breaking NOF's on the way for their pension

I never seem to get snow on the days when I can go play, it always happens on work days.  And now I've got the RR, I've got no excuse for a day off! :cry:
