Last year I saw 2 'top heavy' girls about 18 having a smoke outside a club in the snow
at about 11:30 only wearing bikinis and my first thought was they are going to freeze
made me feel really old

Frankie Boyle in the sun said today

It was so cold up north last night, there were rumours of a geordie wearing a coat, but it turned out to be a tattoo.

Driving rain is defrosting the snow fast..Just hoping and praying that the temperature doesn't drop to freezing by morning.

Well blow me down..... we had a JCB arrive last night at about 9pm to clear a track up the hill we live on. First time that's ever happened so well done to the local council.

You are lucky.

I only live 2 miles from the town centre and yet this is the 4th day we have not had a bus service.

I did see a gritter going past last night but it didn't look as though he was spreading salt, if he was I doubt it would be as much as I may put on my dinner. We walked down to some local shops yesterday only to find they had no bread or milk and one of the shop assistants said they did not know when it would be coming in.

Yesterday afternoon I finally finished digging the snow from my driveway, so later today we are going to go to the next village to what we can get there.

We have had very little snow here in Liverpool, last night we had a very light dusting followed by some rain then a nice frost to top it it all off, so the side roads and pavements are nice and slippy.

I also saw one idiot out for run at full pelt, an accident waiting to happen.

Well I think the panic buyer brigade are largely to thank for the shortages. We were in town two days ago and saw folks in Tesco's loaded up with umpteen loaves of bread and cartons of milk as if the world was about to end. The result was that for the rest of the day the store was entirely sold out of these basics. Quite why the stores don't restrict sales in situations like this defeats me - they readily put a limit on special offers.

Due to the lack of snow we have not had the panic buying brigade as yet, but if this continues I expect we will get them soon enough.

Snows all melted away after anight of driving rain.There is no frost and it's a lot warmer than it's been for the last two weeks.

Sun is out and life is back to normal.

Went for a cheeky wee run in the snow. Tough, very tough but fun. Surprisingly not that slippy.
