    It actually looks like someone has sneezed on the windows.

    Makes me laugh how the nation gets obsessed these days about the prospect of snow.
    We hardly seem to see any now compared to the heavy falls we seemed to get every winter 30 or more years ago.
    Only seems to take a couple of centimetres to fall nowadays for everything to grind to a halt.

    It was an ironic posting. So used to not seeing any snow at all that I had to take a pic! Don’t know about Barnsley but it’s bitterly cold here. I hate this flat landscape where the wind just whips in from the east coast with nothing to disrupt it.

    Most folk would walk to work n'all. Some a fair distance. Not look outside and say I can't get off the street to the bosses.
    I still at 67 clear the causeway and road beyond my property as do one or two others on the street. If everyone capable, can do their bit then leave the main rds to the council. Life would be less complicated.

    It's laughable. Back in the 40s and 50s when I was at school it never closed. I had to travel every day from Barnsley to Sheffield to a 'faith' school and there were serious snowfalls. Chapeltown Hill was always exciting. Just once the bus couldn't get up it so had to stay at the bottom. All passengers had to get off and walk to the top. The Tracky eventually sent another bus out. We had to wait in the driving snow for ages. We all just stood and waited. Must have been the old WW2 spirit; Keep calm and carry on counting your nuts, as they slowly freeze.

    Maybe leave that a few more weeks but I might get the leaf blower out soon. Still plenty lying around but I think they’re all down now so I need to shift them

    Worked in Penistone from 1980 to 2020 and never once failed to get to or from work when it snowed. It was a struggle a few times I'll admit. Never walked it though!
    How much traffic is on the road these does does make things harder though I have to say......

    Yes, I guessed that. My comment was aimed at how things are generally now and the media's over the top reaction to any prospect of snow.

    I hate these snow forecasts. A lot of the time they don't take into account the surface temperatures and if there is any actual precipitation. Without the wet stuff you can't have the white stuff. There's quite a big window for the temperature too which baffles me as to why it's so rare. -4 to 4 degrees.
