Snow!

[CitroJim]

That's really great Richard

[Xaccers]

This one's pretty impressive, but I think they had more snow to work with!

[lexi]

There is no snow here, I don't want snow here, and I am not putting up with it.

My gammy leg is cold enough thank you Although........I have the old Landrover at the ready to show how
to combat the stuff and pull Corsa's into ditches rather than out of them.

[KP]

Dont know about you Lexi but i wouldn't want to drive that in the cold weather unless it was super critical and plenty of blankets were to hard

Nice nobblers on it though which should help a bit in the snow but more mud biased i'd say

[lexi]

You are right KP. For me that Landy is Swallows and Amazon stuff for the summer.

I spend more time working on it than driving it

Its all gone now, hope that is it for this year, I hate it with a vengeance. Lived on a very steep hill for a couple of years, talk about stress first thing in the morning. Now moved to a nice flat area, no stress, yay, but no job, boo.

[CitroJim]

I can't say I'm over-smitten with the stuff Michael. I hate how it turns to watery slush so quickly and then it makes a real wet, cold soggy mess...

Generally I like winter though, especially those cold, dry crisp sunny days of the sort we've had plenty of this year

I've lived in the Mediterranean and in the tropics and find the relentless heat very trying indeed. The Mediterranean climate was the worst. Nine months of hot, sunny weather guaranteed. So boring and predictable. When the first rains of autumn come it is magical - the dust settles, the place turns green, rivers appear out of nowhere and the edge goes off the heat

At least in the tropics there's some good weather to be had most of the year. If you like thunderstorms, and I do, it's heavenly

To be honest I like the British climate the best. Always different and unpredictable but never extreme. I'm willing to forgive a bit of snow every now and again as a price we have to pay for the good bits...

I would tend to agree with that, though I quite like a bit of snow. I hate scorching hot summer days, especially British ones wich are often hot and sticky but without the sun. I like the winter months best

As with cold, you can quite used to a bit of heat.

The price we definitely pay here is a much greater rate of melanoma - I've already lost one mate to it. Time out from hobbies at the seasonal weather peak, is less with hot than cold; after the sun's backed off you can throw a cushion under the car and resume - better than lying in slush after snowfall has ceased.

Much less cold/wet = much less rust/'leccy gremlins. I reckon it's a good equation.

As an FYI, I spent much of the last week shovelling muck in steady drizzle...

The heat is overated. Our climate is fine.........plenty good air and oxygen.
Give me the four seasons. Yes lack of light at times.
I think you can take the heat better when younger? Lest you have lived with it a lifetime maybe?

You have Melanoma Adam.....we have Arthritis. That is a living death for many.

The skin cancer is picking up here with the foreign holiday ass tanning mentality.

[michael95r]

Off to the Canaries next week, it better be hot!

[addo]

Lexi, the warmth makes both types of arthritis more bearable.

[myglaren]

19°C there today.

Im not a lover of the heat either if im honest, just got back from hospital for a freshen up and food as we had our first baby on monday monrning and its 30.5C on the ward and ive never been so uncomfortable in my whole life, getting up to do the smallest task is unbearable, going outside to feel the cool air is heaven, cant wait till we are back home and out of that furnace like hell.

Hot by our current temperatures

Wow Congrats Dean!!!

We need more details

30.5 degrees in the hospital Not like when Robyn was born in the tropics of Darwin then, well over 30 outside but inside the maternity hospital an eskimo and a troop of polar bears would have felt right at home. It was bloody freezing
