The laughable thing is that the hospital the reporter is standing outside is one of the worst Hospitals in the country.
The silly old Christmas Duffer forgot to look. That’ll teach him to eat all my mince pies, drink my sherry, and block my chimney last year.
Is there a skyway code anyone?
Just back from visiting Master FE in the frozen norths of Durham.
Whilst in the South of the country we had our fair share of snow which is now melting, not so ooop North.
When I left the son’s road, it was still four inches of packed snow and still bitterly cold. Some reports say that it might take till the new year to clear.
But then again we’re bound to get a quick snap of global warming to clear it away so I’m always being told.
Am I being too cynical?
I’ve dug out the path to the garage four times, to enable passage to the freezer.
I’ve de-snowed (Is this a new word?) the car twice.
I’ve cleared the drive twice. (Using the slave labour of Mrs FE).
Run out of milk.
Run out of bread ( I could have killed the couple who came out of the local shop with eight loaves this morning. I hope they are all stale by tomorrow morning).
My gas and electricity dials are turning faster than a whirling dervish on heat.
The only consolation is that I’ve enough booze and fags to last me through the night. (The booze and fag police won’t be able to get through the snow).
Ho Hum, could be worse I suppose.
In the spring I intend to experiment in adapting the lawnmower into a snow blower.

*I might have been slightly economical with the truth when answering the questions.*
The BBC weather reported that deepest Kent would have a flurry of snow today. How can seven hours of continuous snow be a flurry?
30 cms of the stuff and it is still flurrying.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flurry may refer to: A snow flurry; that is, a brief snow shower
