I ran the car into a bus yesterday Al I'm glad you're surviving this weather bud. Albeit in some pain

And Nik, I thought you were posting about the band Nine Below Zero I saw them in London many moons ago 11 + 11 more to do when I was 7

You know it's cold when -

you have to chisel the dog off a lamp-post

pet stores sell hamsters, gerbils and penguins

your shadow freezes to the sidewalk

you have to break the smoke off your chimney

you have to open the fridge to heat the house

the lawyers had their hands in their own pockets....

the fire department advises you to set your house on fire

the snowman begs you to take him inside at night

you're shivering like a mobster in a tax office.

Hope it warms up a bit soon for y'all!

No no and no

Here in north Lincolnshire (just a few miles from the humber bridge Niki) its been - 14 to - 17 the last few nights. Heaviest snow for 30 years apparently.


Too cold, im already fed up of it and most roads off the main routes are a lottery. Reckon the tax swindlers have given up but not admitted it yet.

I usually use a naff scooter for work but its just too dangerous, icicles 3 foot long hanging off the house lol. I sympathise with anyone having to abandon their car ive been stuck across junctions a no of times and its scary (the car that is )

Yes and the earth is flat, the moon landing was staged, the poor are responsible for the current economic crisis, Social Darwinism is not a pseudoscience, fox news is a legitimate news source and Obama is a Nigerian born Communist Muslim.

Hi Al: I was up in town last week and took the opportunity to stop by where Forum user Nutter was working 12 hour shifts outdoors in Hyde Park. That gentleman had three foot icicles hanging off his nose and ears - yet that didn't stop him making puppy dog eyes at the girl selling hot gluhwein. She didn't seem interested - she was shivering too hard - but you gotta admire the fella's spirit and positive outlook!

I have a feeling if The Nutter found himself freezing to death in nothing but a pair of Speedos at the North Pole he'd still have some energy to spare to bat his eyelids at the Eskimo girls!

Go, Nutter!

Cheers - C

.......and you and your metric system.... I think that conversion lasted about mmmmmmm 1 minute....

Fast convertion if you done it in your head. Very impressed.
F= Cx1.8+32

Still it's a archaic system, metric is far easier and makes more sense despite nothing natural adhering to a metric system.

Bloody theiving Canadians, nicking all our heat!!! You can have the rain as well then.

Or give it back, you lot are used to the white stuff!

I find it weird but the temperature here has risen to -4 at 1am. At 3pm it was -6. All I can put it down to is cloud cover.

23 here right now going down to 16 tonight and I have to take my dog for a walk.

Single digits Fahrenheit in metro Chicago and with the wind, colder than an IRS' agent's heart while auditing a big-time evader.

If global warming was even possible, let alone likely, there wiould be Canadians and Russians doing all they could to hasten it along, so their frozen tundra would become more livable.

Oh, yeah, and real estate offices in Greenland and Antarctica.

Now that makes way more sense than any of the mumbo jumbo I've read.
Look where the land is selling.

Personaly I think that we've done a hell of a lot of damage to the planet. But given the planet's weather cycles that happen over 100's of 1000's of years that diagnosing global warming is shakey ground for any well minded meteorologist. Let's face it, it's another whip to beat tax money out of the workers. That's why the lefties all support it.
