Title: SnowWatch 2013
Post by: Matt D on January 17, 2013, 12:18:25 PM
With blizzard like conditions due tomorrow and this weekend, use this thread to stick up your winter piccys and films, and tales of adventure, falls, etc :)

I"m off surfing/wakeboarding (?!?!?) in Devon this weekend. Taking the GoPro with me, so will post any exciting stuff on my return :)

SNOW !!
Left home at 4.15am.
Windscreen wiper fell off @ 4.20am.
Left home again @ 4.35am with an old wiper taped on (very resourceful).
Arrive Bristol Airport 6.17 am for 6.20 check in.
Board plane for 7am flight @ 12.15pm.....take off 3pm.
Arrive UKIPT 4.30pm to find that i have not been blinded out.
Play like a rock (best hand 88) on tough table until moved late on.
All in 5 times with no action so returning today with starting stack.
Predict lasting 30 mins at best.
All I have to do then is get home....................

The car is in the garage and while I await the distressing news of the bill I thought I would drop a couple of pictures from the warmth of my house in here....

Changing times for snowmen. People don"t have coal in their houses these days.

Cheers all!  There were 9 or 10 kids/teens involved in the construction.  It"s a rural village with not much to do so they make the most of snow days when they get them.

Apparently they used a ladder to reach the top bit.  The pringles tin is a step up though.  In the past, we"d put a tall beer tin in his hand.   ::)  

They"ve coal fires every day in the winter, but nobody wants to muck their hands/gloves using it for the snowman.   :D
