We popped out in the car this morning. For Surrey, it was like Arctic weather!

Hey Elsa @Drago, do you wanna build a snowman?

Bury London with up to 2 inches of snow 😳😳

You couldn’t bury Lego land with 2 inches

I was out today doing a bit of winter garden tidying and cutting back. It was a bit nippy. but not cold enough to freeze the stinky cat crap that I stepped in.

Is that nonsense written by a relative of Timmy Mallet?

About once a day around here.

Right buckle up everyone It going to get bad!!!


There is now a weather warning for here
Include Snow - maybe even was much as a centimetre or so

and if we are getting it this close to teh Mersey and only a few feet above the high watermark - and in a dip


then the rest of the country will be sure to be totally buried under 2-3 inches
better clear off the upper storey windows so you have an escape route!!

A chilly week ahead.

We got snowed on when taking Bertie for a walk this morning myself and Mrs W. We were about a mile to East of Pickering. There was snow under foot and all the hills to East looked well wintery, to West it looked like a spring day.

-3 on the turbo in the shed this morning

Grabbed two bags of grit from Wickes - only 5 left ! Just popped some grit down on the path and side of the drive, and it's started snowing. Road went white immediately as it's so cold. Turbo trainer is set up, but I've lost the handlebar mount for my laptop. Will just have to use the 'workbench'.

-3 on the turbo in the shed this morning

Makes my 1.8 degrees in the garage seem tropical. It’s been a while since I’ve not need the fan on and probably the first ever turbo session done in knee warmers.

Despite the cold there's surprisingly little ice and frost, I put it down to it being very dry so there's no moisture to freeze.

Had to double sock though on today's ride, and shorts for yesterday was a mistake so the leggings came out today!

I've been an ice scaredy cat and not cycled outside. I've cycled in similar conditions before, keeping off small lanes, with no trouble but I'm getting to be more of a worry guts these days.
