By 'eck, it's bloody freezing outside. We just went for a walk in our local park to kick through the Autumn leaves, and my ears are now cold enough to conduct high energy physics experiments. It was very pretty though. It would have been even prettier with a dusting of snow, but despite some nasty sleet yesterday the Met Office have otherwise

If it's any consolation, the nice chap on the BBC just suggested that you'll be getting snow by lunchtime tomorrow. We will just have lots of very cold rain :-(

[iainjclark]

Hmm. The BBC website suggests light snow at 6 a.m., but back to rain by lunchtime. :-(

You didn't have any snow because we had all of it. Fifteen centimetres overnight. There's waist-high piles of it in the supermarket across the street.

Them's got WEATHER here...

[iainjclark]

Typical! If you have any weather to spare I'll gladly take some off your hands...

Thank you, but I am quite enjoying having some.

Overheard in the Ratskeller today:
Guest: It's bloody freezing out there.
Maitre d': That'll be the weather...

Very funny in the original German, honest.
