Just when you think you're out of culture shock
 
Beautiful snow overnight yesterday - about 4"...worked from home....pathways and roads got cleared yesterday morning....snow started to melt yesterday afternoon...anyway...

I look out of my lounge window this morning to see 2 people walking along with ski's on :confused: :confused: :confused: ....there has to be all of 3" of snow left, even with drift....and where are they going to ski to....it's flat at the back of our house???

Am I missing something here??

Maybe they were doing that for a bit of exercise. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's called cross-country skiing. Not my cup of tea, but some people like it. :)

Yep - that's cross-country skiing. It's a lot harder than regular skiing but good for the muscle tone on yer legs!

I prefer regular skiing myself.

If I looked out of my window and saw 4" I'd KNOW hell had frozen over - and Scunthorpe would have won the Champions League!!
