I Give Up on Winter

[Gunny]

It's just a REALLY short nuisance here. I've been wearing shorts and sandals all week. Oh. It's supposed to get "cold" next week. Highs in the upper 60s

Good thing I got a coat, snow boots, thermals ... The second I get rid of them the temp will plummet into the teens.

I just KNOW all you yankees freezing your asses off's hearts bleed for me

I like winter. For a little while, anyway. Pain in the butt if you spend much time outside. I'm a total pyro and love to build fires

It gets too hot here for me anymore but I learned it's a lot safer if I just keep my butt close to home. I get in too much trouble when I start roaming around the states.

I love the seasons when they are supposed to be the seasons....Winter I want it cold...snow and Ice...Summer I want it hot...Fall...I want it cool and the way its supposed to be...

Hahah, cold you say?

Wish I could say the same. We've had a combination of a storm called 'Emma' and a cold blast of air straight from Siberia to contend with.

Britain is braced for several more days of travel chaos in the wake of the final blasts from the Beast from the East and Storm Emma.

Last night, forecasters said the UK is 'not out of the woods yet' as the snow across the country starts to melt and turn into deadly black ice.

Yellow weather warnings are in place across England, Wales and Northern Ireland this morning, with 53 areas told to prepare for flooding in light of thawing snow.

After yesterday's snow, high winds and bilzzards closed off huge swathes of the UK transport network, this weekend rail operators are desperately trying to repair trains damaged in the chaos.

The RAC has urged people not to drive unless absolutely necessary with 'death trap' icy spots covering Britain's roads. Around 200 drivers were still stranded on the M62 overnight after huge snow drifts and up to 90mph winds hit areas like Rochdale.

Families in Devon have been told to evacuate or board up their homes to protect themselves from fierce regional winds of 50mph brought by Storm Emma.

Snow is still expected to fall in Dartmouth and Exeter, while in London conditions are set to improve after 11am, with highs of 5C are expected.

In my area, south Wales, public transport has been stopped for around 48 hours (London and SE England endured these conditions from even earlier). Yesterday, even taxi firms here weren't risking providing a service.

Our local shops haven't been provisioned in days. Most are closed (with the one open grocery store, stocks dwindling, having to mop up a flood inside the shop because snow had got in, and melted ..).











We Brits don't cope well with adverse conditions, it has to be said. Our transport network is paralysed .. but in Canada, where their winters are usually worse, THEY keep everything running .... !! ...
