Supprisingly, the frost on my wife's car was much thicker than mine :confused:

Westyfield2 · 23 Jan 2015 at 09:47

Normally it's either one was parked in a breezy spot, or it was used later into the evening so was warm when it was parked up.

haha, didn't think of that. I did use mine last night, about 19:30 and hers was parked since 13:00.

Current model runs don't show potential for anything particularly snowy through into Feb still plenty of time this winter yet though.

Slim chance the south west could see a bit Saturday night - less than a 1/3rd of the model iterations support it but the other 2/3rds are really really borderline for it not happening.

We are about to have a massive storm. Supposed to get about 2 ft of snow. Tomorrow. Ill post some pics when it happens...

No snow or even rain here in South Wales, it's actually a bit mild.

Lovely day here today, sun was out, still a bit cold if you are out too long!

russell664 · 26 Jan 2015 at 16:21

Below is a brief summary of the American media coverage regarding this storm.

Westyfield2 · 26 Jan 2015 at 18:40

Yeah they seem to be panicking a fair bit! Hotels in NYC are getting in stocks of medical supplies for their guests etc.

If you like it so much roff, I suggest you get yourself out to new York, Boston etc

Arsonist · 26 Jan 2015 at 20:19

Sadly not off work until next week or I'd be tempted to hop on a flight.

TonyTurbo78 · 26 Jan 2015 at 22:25

I doubt you'll find a flight that's not been cancelled lol..

Wish we would have something like that in England. Most I've ever seen in my life living down here in the south is about 5 inches

no you dont, it gets old real quick.. 2 weeks without electricity in cold temperatures, just after you've spend $200 on food. not to mention it taking 4 hours to get home from work, which is normally a 30 min drive.

Everyone is expected to turn up for work tomorrow, all 3 shifts even though theres a state of emergency! got to love american companies expecting people to risk life and limb just to come to work.

anyways i'll post pics tomorrow, if we have power

Apart from when I was a kid, I've not been much of a fan of snow. Pain in the neck, quite frankly.
