This weather is awful. I struggled this morning to make it to the Man Shed at the end of the garden.

A quick double prior to leaving will keep you warm.

An observation about this snow;
We have not had a great deal of it here in East Berkshire in the Thames Valley but have had enough to what ordinarily cause chaos on the roads. We have also experienced very low temperatures, was -7c last night with windchill much colder.
The snow though, I like it, it is not the usual snow we get with it being so much colder and so much drier than when we usually get a dumping. It is easy to drive on and easy to cycle on compared to the much wetter semi slushy stuff we normally get.
This snow we have had must be like the foreign snow that foreigners get and foreigners gloat to us about never causing them any issues. Give them normal semi slushy, melty and re-freezy good old fashioned British snow and Jonny Foreigner wouldn't be so gloaty.

There is a village near us called Southrey many of you may have ridden through it on the Lincoln to Boston route, it is totally impassable by car, with the road covered in drifts. Now go back not too many years and a local farmer would have cleared it, how times have changed.

It's getting tricky outside. Have just watched two vehicles struggling to get past the house on the very slight slope. Goodness knows what'll happen when they come to an actual hill.
Shouldn't laugh...... but I'm going to.

Why is that funny, they could be emergency service workers in their way too or from work.

The one in the transit wasn't.
A third got completely stuck. Went out to give a push.
