Living in a winter wonderland, for today anyway ;)

Well it has snowed here in the UK ( Cambs ) schools are closed, traffic is now moving outside all be it crawling along. nothing like in Canada i know but this is quite a bit for here and am loving it :thumbsup:

Littleman already been outside to play, now sitting by the fire warming his hands with rosy cheeks :wub:, Gatwick and luton are closed at the moment and more on its way, Essex/ Bedfordshire and Cambridge area seem to have been hit quite hard,

There's still some remnants of snow on the roof of the apartments next door so i'm staying at home............just in case :thumbup:

Driving last night was treacherous too. Accelerating from the lights, the traction control kicked in for a split second requiring me to contemplate evasive manoeuvres but we made it without serious injury.

I've mail ordered some tyre chains in anticipation of a further 0.2mm of snow fall over the coming months.

Now i know how Captain Robert Scott felt.

Just a thought. How so roofs with solar panels cope when covered with snow? :p:p

We have solar christmas lights and they don't work when the solar panels are covered in snow. Would have thought the same would apply to roof solar panels.
