The Big Freeze (3)
Permalink  

Now that most of the UK is on standby for it's annual 3 millimetres of snow tonight, I'm pleased to announce the grand opening of the JDBB's similarly annual b1tch and moan about the way in which it gets reported in the media. I will refer you to these two threads (link and link) for details of previous rants.

So... which media outlet will be the first to use the eponymous phrase? Hmm? Let the hacking begin!

If we get the promised 15cm then it may be fair to let them off. Of course they may well have just put the decimal point in the wrong place.

Well - I'm not sure about this one - there seems to have been a fair amount of coverage on the news suggesting that this might be tricky.

Either way - I am currently reviewing whether to blow London and head home tonight rather than try to battle home tomorrow!

'Blow' and 'head' in the same sentence is a worrying sight, Mr Steadman, sir.

All the same, you are right to consider your options. I, myself have decided to go home tonight... as I do every night!

yes, the recent weather forecasts have inspired me to drive to North Wales and go climbing mountains this weekend. We shall be staying in a tent and drinking and eating in pubs.

Bring it on

Just in case you're worried (and you're clearly not because no-one begged me not to go) I've climbed in North Wales a lot (even taking Copper once), but never this early in the year (or after such 'dreadful' weather - I went to work - did you?).

So I am a bit apprehensive, however I am mitigating this by taking my hi vis vest (that I usually wear on industrial site to stop forklifts running me over) so if we do get into trouble we can guide the mountain rescue in by asking them to look for the fluorsecent green thing.

I am also taking 10 mini snickers and 12 alpen nutty bars so I should return fatter than I am now despite the exercise.

Well, I'm not going to beg (obviously), but I do think you are mad. Mad, mad, mad.

eh?

anyway, back safe and sound, if anyone missed me.

prolly slightly thinner than before but still have 4 alpen bars and 2 snickers in fridge (nuts? - oooooh I get it....hilarious....)

Anyway it was really snowy and really nice it amazed me how much you can do in a weekend if you don't spend saturday and sunday mornings hungover.

I'm never hungover on Saturday and Sunday morning. It doesn't help...

Glad you had fun. Did you build a snowman on the mountain?

Minneapolis is finally going to ramp up to 32°F... It's been ~0°F, and much less, like -20°F with windchill, for the past 3 weeks!!
