It's going to get very cold, quite soon - are you prepared?

I looove coming home from the cold outside. Then putting on an oversized hoodie and slipper socks, making tea and wrapping up in a blanket :awesome:

Winter is the best.

I do, it is normal, it amazes me how the papers make it out like it is doomsday. I mean I bet it won't be half as bad as they say it will be.

If a single snowflake falls, all schools will immediately close.

This amounts to a national tradition now. However, there is always one holdout school (generally somewhere mad like mid-Wales or the Cairngorms) that insists on staying open, even though the kids have to be dug out from snowdrifts in the playground.


I go to that one holdout school, though we aren't in mid-Wales.

Man cannot live on milk, digestives and huskies alone.

I think you'll find huskies are pretty nutritious all by themselves. No need for milk and digestives.

Well, I just know that the Spetsnaz run training course in stuff like Survival and anti-terrorist tactics for normal citizens.


What, so they can defend themselves against Mr Putin?

Temperatures are going to PLUNGE according to the media, from Monday and for several weeks. :afraid:
http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/nov/17/scotland-snow-uk-weather

It will fall as low as 3 degrees in many areas and there may even be snow over northern hills. :excited:

Are you ready for this extreme weather?

Are you nonchalant? :flute: Will you be huddling up? :grouphugs:

Things you will need.

* Shovels, grit, warm gloves and warm coat

* Husky team - public transport generally halts after the first flurry of snow

* Extra supplies of milk and digestives :cookie:

* Large selection of DVDs - it will be impossible to leave home :couchpotato:

******* YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED *********

This was a TSR public service announcement. Do not engage in unnecessary panic. Engage in necessary panic.


Thanks for the PSA.

I'm a bit concerned as later this week I have to be in Aberdeen. Not so concerned about the snow more concerned over fog as that does affect take-offs and landings.

Other times, not too worried about public transport, have a Land Rover with good winter tyres :smile:

Shovel and grit? What for?

Digestive biscuits and milk?? Why?? Waitrose won't be closed.

Am actually looking forward to a cold winter, not had a chance to test out how good our new heating and insulation at home is.

Weather as a whole doesn't affect or bother me.

Huddle? Huddle up with who? :P
Man. I don't even want to think about what's going to happen to the bus service...

Then again, Lancaster being Lancaster, it will probably just rain and have a cold wind. The usual.

It's yet to get below 21 C here :frown: Oh, how I envy you :tongue:
I'm planning on going to Harbin, in northeast China over my winter break where the average high in January is -12ºC and can even get as low as -24ºC!

Better start taking more Vit C supplements to boost your immune system :smile: That place is notorious for some of the nastiest flu bugs that time of the year.

I hope my college doesn't close when it snows. :eek:

we have to face the choice of EATING or HEATING the government


Let them go cold I say, all that shivering might tenderise them up before we eat the ****ers.

Especially the young ones, which are more tender. Of course, if you have a horse, you can hollow it out and shelter inside it, like Napoleon's armies in Russia.

I suppose that's an ancient tradition. Hollow out a carcass for warmth and eat the meat.
