East Anglia tends to get to best of the weather – it’s often drier and warmer than other parts of these wet little islands. During the bleak winter weeks, when low damp clouds cloak the rest of the nation and drive half the population into Thomas Cook to thumb through the glossy travel brochures, we often enjoy clear skies and bright sunshine. But in the last twenty-four hours, we’ve gone from this:
To this…
…as an Arctic snap blew down from the North Pole closing roads, runways, schools and A&E Departments. Brrr…
So today, I thought better of my routine (a stroll to the gym – like I need an excuse to step off the treadmill – followed by a steaming americano and a trawl through the free papers). Instead, I slipped on my fluffy mules, whacked up the heat and tuned into daytime TV. Let’s hope the weather turns by tomorrow. At my age, a diet of soporific trash on the box could easily become habit forming.
I live in the high desert of Arizona where winters are cool by day, cold at night. I just got a storm warning message of 4-7″ of snow tonight!
I also assumed Arizona to be hot. Shows how little I know :-D. Wrap up warm!
Ugh! Hope it cheers up otherwise you could turn into a couch potato!
The snow’s gone now and sun’s out. So no potatoes on a couch for me.
B-r-r-r. We received a good hit of snow today as well. The fireplace is on and I’ve yet to curl up on the sofa with my book. Keep warm, Jack. A little telly is good for you. 😛
You’re better prepared in Canada. A little dusting of snow and Britain comes crashing to a halt.
I crash to a halt as well. I hate the stuff more each year. 😀
It’s funny how different countries adapt to snow. What is crippling snow in some countries is bbq weather to us Canucks!
Moose burger anyone? 😀
Since you’ve been faithfully attending the gym a relaxed indulgence seems overdue…enjoy!
I agree 😉
. . the worst is yet to come! As the oceans rise you’ll be asking ‘Is that the beach in my back yard?’ You’ll be able to run a crowd-funding and set up Estuary Radio 2.0. Te-he-he!
We’re on a hill 😀
. . in Norfolk!!!
Hillier than you might imagine. Plays havoc with my circulatory issues. 😀
I’ll buy into that – the Normans wouldn’t have bothered with the place if there hadn’t been a bit of a mound for a castle.
We’ve had rain rain and more rain and now a mighty wind is blowing (luckily a warm southerly one though so I can finally get the smalls washed and dried)
There’s nothing worse than damp drawers 😀
The weather has been a bit wretched here too Jack. Yesterday it fell to 29C!!!
Must be awful for you! 😉
