With the slight dusting of snow down there, once it reaches 2ft then you can complain while we still cope without moaning :lol:

I dunno about down south, but Fife is covered but as always coping just fine, in fact just like we used to when it snowed!

Shame I was'nt down South as all of Londons Buses had the day off.

However Boris gets the quote of the day:

Quote:
Mr Johnson said: "I think we've done pretty well in what are absolutely extraordinary circumstances.

"I mean, you know, there's no doubt about it, this is the right kind of snow, it's just the wrong kind of quantities.

"My message to the heavens is you know 'You've put on a fantastic display of snow power but that is probably quite enough'".


:lol:

My mate is down at Heathrow to meet a flight from Beijing this afternoon. Problem is the flight has been redirected to Prestwick. Skippy, can you do Prestwick to Nottingham? :mrgreen:

They are expecting 4 inches of snow at Birmingham this afternoon so if it doesn't land soon, it won't make it.
