Im surprised Texas got hit to be honest.

The roads are fine here now. The snow is still here sadly more snow forecast for early next week.

'Er indoors took this from her house the other day:

Like my mate Rut (who lives in Terre Haute, IN) says, "if anyone back home says it's cold, tell them to #### off - they don't know what cold is."

Not my part. Just fleece weather here...a little chilly in the morning.

Yikes!!! I think I would have to hibernate all winter if it was like that. I don't do cold so well if it lasts more than 2 days.

yeah, I admit, I do think of all the snow we get in New England whenever someone in Old England mentions how cold it is.

I also think of that whenever the Americans mock the clouds and rain over here.. I'd rather that than the extreme weather there anyday..

[Stinky Monkey 1]

By the looks of things we are due for some extreme weather over here next week

I am reminded of why I no longer live in the midwest

It's snowing here in London

I live about 45 minutes east of Terre Haute and we had around 11-12 inches of snow last week. And I get so many people say to me "It's colder in the UK isn't it" to which I laugh maniacally and say "Erm, it rarely gets below 28f, so no, it's way warmer than this little area of hell."

I mean, I've never had my nostril hairs freeze in the UK. The first time it happened I was "oh bloody hell! What's going on here then!?"

You've not lived until your nostril hairs have frozen up.

It's snowing here in London

Snowed here in Cambridgeshire too. Expecting it heavier tomorrow and Tuesday. I won't miss it.

One of the reasons I moved from MA to NC.

[StillThePrettiest 3]

nostril hairs are one thing; when it feels like your eyes are about to follow suit it's quite another

(I experienced -43C in the Czech Republic one winter - we were actually out in it for hours; it wasn't just stepping outside the front door for a moment and then back to the fireside... in fact one of the coldest nights was the one we went night-skiing, if I remember correctly - and am not keen to repeat it in a hurry, though I'm glad to find that it means I have lived )

You've been here how long now, Damien?

I'm not there yet, Rebecca, but remember I lived there for two years between 2004-2006.

I kind of think the opposite with at-will employment. You can pretty much be let go in the US if somebody doesn't like you. Office politics play way-to-big a role in working in the US.

That's life, kiddo. It's up to you to make sure you fully understand how a corporate structure works, and make sure you don't piss off the wrong people.

Not sure where in Alaska your moving to, but if it's Anchorage, your best grocery stores to shop are: Fred Meyers (owned by Krogers now), Carrs/Safeway, Walmart, and Costo.

Ditto here in Brum. I awoke this morning (well, this afternoon ) to the sight of a winter wonderland, rather like the one in 'er indoors' picture. And of course, as is the norm in this country, a little inclement weather and everything stops.
