C'mon winter go away now

Sitting here having breakfast before getting myself sorted for work and there's a white out outside, it's gotten worse since I snapped the pic

Quite bright over our way.....but I do believe there's a storm brewing up in a bit! I'm taking the ST off SORN this week in the hope that we get some decent days, fingers crossed. I reckon my minimum temperature requirement nowadays though is 12+ degrees, so I could be waiting a while! :)

Shouldn't live half way up a mountain Steve.

Just rain down here, although I've had the flood warnings yesterday and today.

I wasn't referring to you Steve :lol:

Good organiser that you are, I appreciate there are limits.

lol .... as far as being a big man I'm much less so now too Mike, been on the Atkins diet since New Years Day and have lost 30lbs so far and finding it easy to stick to too :D

Now weigh less than I did 4 years ago :D Although I expect this to have a negative effect on my riding as my "pies" theory for suspension setting is now in chaos :D

Half way up a mountain? Mate it's near enough the top here :D Of course the advantage is if I ever get a flood warning Noah and his ark will be floating past and the rest of you will be screwed seeing as I'm the same altitude as the Horseshoe Pass :D

Managed to get to work but it was ... interesting at times !

10lbs behind you Steve, don't know the "pie" suspension theory but with the 7lbs Sue has lost as well the power to weight ratio of the GS is getting better every day :)

Pretty much all four seasons in 3 days here in Hampshire where I've been helping out with some forestry and planting 2,000 trees.

Friday absolutely horrible start but cleared up late morning, yesterday mostly a summer's day (just as well as chainsawing all day), today a mix of absolutely horrible and lovely sun.

Ground absolutely drenched; everything I possess is covered in filth, but a deep sense of satisfaction and a Healthy Glow.

Wow :o Good effort Steve...and Al and Sue. Feeling like a proper porker now :oops:

Regards weather: no snow down here. TBH, if we get a sprinkling that usually means the rest of the country is under 6ft :D Did have some devastating wind yesterday - my patio chair fell over and the wheelie bin took itself off on a tour of the close.
