Drago's Winter 2020/21 deathkill slaughter murder carnage annihilation snow thread

[Proto]

Not had a single frost so far, nothing. We did have a flurry of heavy snow flakes a few days ago, lasted about 30 seconds, nothing since.
Fire is alight, Aga is going but I've turned the central heating off.

 

[Drago]

Weve had a week of hard fronts and ice. Fog hasnt shifted in 4 days.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

It was too cold for the snow flakes this morning so they’ve gone back to self isolate in the cloud.

I would love more snow for no reason other than to go up the Pentland Hills on my fat bike.

What was the motor industry thinkIng when they decided that front only DRLs would be a good idea ?

exactly why I disable my automatics! when I manually turn on my "dims" the rears also come on

Saturday reminded me that i need to switch my new to me MTB tyres to TL after i had to run some low pressures to have some fun whilst mostly staying upright:

It was fun getting up some 6-8% climbs, lets say my cadence was quite fast

And still not sure (MTB virgin) if i would have been better having some degree of suspension on (i locked out both)

Will the country grind to a halt with 5mm of snow now those that still have jobs are all working from home?

5mm of snow will be enough to make the route from bed to kitchen table totally impassable, everyone will be on a duvet day.

 

[Drago]

Forecast is for slightly warmer tomotrow, so Poshire may lose this week long blanket of ice, frost and fog.

 

[BoldonLad]

So far, this winter, we have had only one frost, and one icy morning, when car windscreen was iced up. Not even a single snow flake (of the icy type) has fallen.

 

[Ridgeway]

Still plenty here:

It was a bit cold on the descent though

 

[Ming the Merciless]

The glaciers are marching across from Europe. I’ve bought some ice skates and a bobble hat in prep.

Started about 8.30 this morning and only just stopped. I'm teaching from home and had 100% attendance from year 10 on Teams. What's wrong with the youth of today?
Enjoyed watching the little dog on the playing fields opposite going crazy and attacking the snowman with all its fury!
