That was Cruel Clive.....But your right Mike! I understand not getting it down on the South East coast.. But OOP! North.. ?.. Its not good having mild Winters, I remember every year lighting Fires underneath the Beet Harvester to thaw the Hydraulics out.. And skidding to the Farm in the Snow in me mk3 Escort.. I think only Twice iv scrapped ice off the car/Truck windscreen This Winter...... Not Good!

I came out one morning to find the tractor radiator cap stuck on a 3 inch bar of ice. Strong blocks and rads in those days. Oh yes my F....... bacon was frozen as well.

Sorry Mike, couldn’t resist. But I have to admit, it was a couple of weeks ago and only at altitude. I was tidying up in my garden at the weekend in tee shirt & jeans in the sunshine and we’re at 730m.

We’re hoping for snow later in the month or March / April even. Winters have shifted about 6 weeks later here, by my observations.

Extremely rubbish ski season up here in Scotland, I’ve only got out on skis twice and limited snow cover

I was saying to Amy over the weekend that with such a warm winter its going to be difficult to really appreciate those early March spring days when you can start to feel the warmth of the sun on your face, which is a shame because I bloody love those days.

We've got Daffs not far off Flowering in the Garden... Mental!!

Being a gritting contractor for over 12 years our busiest winter did not get going until the 2nd week in February and went on till the beginning of April. Seem to think that was 2013

Is that the flats at Callow Mount from the old Blackstock Rd landfill site?
At least, when all the icebergs and glaciers have finished melting, us Sheffielders will be able to go down to the beach

If i remember Aviemore was about 50 miles from Elgin, But it took over 3hrs In the Snow, In my trusty 5 series BMW.. Not the best vehicle in the snow... Good fun 'tho'

It was in that direction but the council tip was right behind me when I took that.

It is indeed - I knew you would pick up on it. Boggy section of the walk ...
