They look perfect. But of course those of us left in Britain need to be assured that no animals were harmed in there manufacture.

Hope you're OK and didn't mind me making light of your plight.

NS is on a bad run:
2003 Hurricane
2004 Snowstorm
2005 The Crispies are coming :scared:

Tips:

1) Sleep in the same bed as your wife and cuddle up.

2) If you don't have a wife then get a girlfriend and cuddle up

3) Sleep with your favourite pet and cuddle up.

4)If none of the above apply then reevaluate your sexual preferences

Perhaps with these HOT fashions that 'll be the end of the snow. Just need the hotpants! I dare you ACL!

Eh. Corky, What happened to the encouragement and goodwill? These stories of more blizzards, cayote penning you in your home let alone the locals smoking fish! All folklore right?

Have a safe trip home.

Mmmmmm......rabbit skin hot-pants???? Think NOT !!!!!!! ...although it would make a rather interesting but very scarey photo thats for sure!!!!

Corky...hope you got back OK. Our electricity was only off for two days and most of the schools went back on Tuesday although there were still some out. Suns warm and bright today so I guess the snow will slowly melt or is there just tooooo much of it?

What I really enjoyed about the snow after the blizzards had stopped was being able to see wildlife footprints in the snow.....we saw deer and I think Racoons and squirrel footprints by the drainpipe!!!

What is with you with wearing those poor little defenceless bunny rabbits.
I notice that you didn't see any rabbit footprints in the snow!

Only joking! Actually didn't Raquel Welch try that look once?

Getting back to the irony guys........
......it's snowing here..............hard!! .....Cambridgeshire in November!!

Sweet justice eh!
