It's snowing ! (Nov 24 Page 82)

How have the volunteers been getting on clearing snow from the ground?

Anyone here done a stint today?

Oh that was funny on seat cleaning day last season.
poor Nathan.

Greetings from Kenya!
It isn't snowing here. Actually the rains have just finished, about a month later than usual, and we are entering a hot dry spell for the next two to three months before the next set of rains. The climate is quite good in Nairobi (typically 28 Celsius) because we are at 5,500ft above sea level. However, the sun is quite fierce during the day.
We do have snow in Kenya, but only at the top of Mount Kenya. Then we can also see the snow on Mount Kilimanjaro, although that is in Tanzania.
There is a great story about how three Italian PoWs in Kenya during WW2 were so bored that they decided to break out of their camp and climb Mount Kenya using a picture on a biscuit tin as a map. The map was wrong, they got lost and also attacked by wild animals. However, they had a great adventure and then returned to camp.
The British Camp Commandant didn't know what to do. Few people escaped from camp and even fewer returned. He just gave them some solitary and called it quits!
I really feel for you guys back home!

No - nor down here either, Weegie. Not a single snow flake.
Just rain, rain, rain.

There ought to be a law against it.

I feel for you Oggy, havent seen rain here in many months - or even that much snow, it's just sun, sun, sun - fed up with it, bring on the snow!!

Hi Oakster ......well, this side of the pond as you'll no doubt remember, gloomy January is when the positive folk book their holidays, the sensible are already sunning themselves in the bleedin' Seychelles, and the unstable think the darkest of dark thoughts.

Today, surprise, surprise - the sun shone all day from powder blue skies and I even cut my lawn. It's the same sort of feeling you get when Charlton actually beat Millwall, if you're able to remember that far back.

Tomorrow the forecast is heavy rain all day.
I'll be thinking of you with your wall to wall sunshine.

I think you'd feel at home in Vancouver Oggy, first year I was out here - it rained something like 30 consecutive days - liquid sunshine they call it !!

Yep, today and tomorrow.

If we do get snow then presumably tomorrow's match will be in doubt.

D'urso isn't the ref I hope! 2:55 postponement and all that!

Only sleet being predicted tonight now on BBC site

Southeastern just sent an e-mail alert:

More snow is forecast in the South East from around 7pm this evening - please check before you travel and allow additional time for your journey.

We are running our regular timetable service, and wherever possible we'll be strengthening our trains to reduce the chance of them failing.

And a daytime high tomorrow well above freezing as the wind turns southwesterly. So it will melt anyway.

BBC said 7 degrees for tomorrow afternoon. T-shirt weather!

Better tell the Massives not to bring shovels then.

No sign yet?

Dry as a bone here in Dartford
