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
....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??

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!!
