Of snow, tomorrow?

Now I like snow, but, erm, isn't it a little early for this?

That's crazy, that is.  Next thing, they'll be selling all that Christmas shit in the supermarkets and...  Oh.... they already are!

Hmmm, I didn't think Christmas stuff was in the stores until November?

Even November's too bloody soon.  Just how long do people need to buy their chocolates and cake, anyway?


At least I won't have to suffer Douglas Fir too soon this year.  They knocked the shop down so that they could dig big holes in the ground and spread some mud about.  SOmething to do with redevelopment, they said.  'That's ok', I said, 'as long as you demolish Douglas Bloody Fir!'

I do already have my Christmas tree!  Had to pay an extortionate £20 for it last year, as they were either understocked or unusually popular & it was the only one left that would fit in my house.  It needs to at least at least until this Christmas, then it will be a bargain!

I may have one in my loft.  To be honest though, I don't really care and won't until at least December 20th.

It's supposed to drop to 20 degrees, with windchill, here, today. Unfortuantely, that's well below 0 by your standards.


Looks like they downgraded the chance of snow today to 50%... Which is odd, because it's snowing out there!!


Roads were pretty good on the way in, other than 'Minnesota nice' drivers... Cripes... The left-lane is not for parking in!!

Minnesota nice is some oddball combination of being nice, yet passive-agressive. Many are not this nice, some are, they just act this way:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_nice


Minnesota nice can be most apparent in it's ugliest form, driving. There are a few examples here:


http://www.group29.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=58


Number 5 drives me crazy, people pacing or driving slower than the slower lanes in the passing lane. Or even worse, simply driving in the passing lane when there is no one in the slower lane. And it's against the law...


It could be the worst state I have ever driven for this sort of behaviour... It's everywhere... Someone referred to highway 100 as a Nascar event the other day, and my response is, more like a rest-stop.


And of course, your average Minnesotan's going to be outraged when I pass on the right, which I am now forced to do...


Traffic jams and risky passes are going to exist, but some Minnesotans (not all, some will yield) go out of there way to create these situations with their remarkably poor driving (in general)... Maybe it's not Minnesota nice, perhaps it's just laziness (not willing to yield the passing lane, too much effort)


I really like Minnesota but there are quite a few people here demonstrate rather poor driving skills...

A freeway is a special kind of highway, the fast kind, no traffic lights (none) and limited entrance and exit points.


A highway can range from freeway to a bigger street. Highways usually have faster speed limits than streets, but can very much look and feel like one. And vice versa, highway 100, as mentioned earlier, is a freeway.


See the following, mate:

I find that offensive...


You're never nice to me - and I'm always nice to you...

I'd say 'bollocks' to that, but you'd get unduly excited...

Rise above it Stead darling.    You don't need to lower yourself.  <Except when nature calls>

Yes, I did. Most women do!!


Should have some more snow here, soon. Everyone's welcome...


Could be cramped, though... My spare bedroom, is really more of an office...
