EDIT: i had typed the word h o u s e, but after a couple of posts it began to appear as a green link to housing (buy/rent etc...,). when i tried editing the word out, it refused to change several times but now has. if anyone's seeing it as a link, i don't think you should click it. flamin' adverts!!!

heavy snow/blizzard conditions from the top of uk down to the midlands, drifting south, and torrential rain with landslides/flooding further south-west. by saturday night/sunday, the snow should be down here where i am. i hope the fuck it stays away. it's boring now.

south coasting?

good good, and i'm sure you've seen worse. so long as the sea remembers where it ends and the land begins, you should be fine

it's not the first time i've seen snow into march, and probably won't be the last but the cold and the dark and the wet are a royal pain in the arse.

Thames Estuary. I'm 10 metres above the highest point of the 1953 Storm Surge.

I remember 1947 and 1962/63. In the latter winter I had just moved to Gosport and was commuting on the Gosport Ferry. The Blitz hadn't stopped the ferry. Icebergs in Portsmouth Harbour did, so I caught an Admiralty steam launch, charging through the fog and icebergs at full speed.

It was dreadful today. Cold and rain started just before 3- bang on school pick up time hmpf.
Snuggled up under the blankets now with peeps.
On different note: mah ex-home town.

The snow doesn't affect sheep as much as the rain does.
Snow seems to create a blockout for the wind, but rain (continuous rain) eventually soaks through to the skin and often we'll find sheep who are so waterlogged they can't get up any more.

If you're gonna have winter, you may as well enjoy it

yes, i know, but the snow is creating extra problems for farmers needing to get the new lambs out onto pasture.
