The Beast from the East

[lifetime fan]

Rang the wife and told her to finish work as soon as she could and not stay till 5:30. She only works in Bath, she’s not even home yet.

 

The snow has been a pain but it’s been compacted on top of black ice.

Getting on my tits this, not the weather, but the furore and the media bollocks around it. Last night we had a BBC programme on the weather, now, tonight, we have an ITV stab at it. Fuck off cunt. Its weather. Next up, an ITV special on light drizzle.

Opinionated weather forecasters telling me it’s going to be a miserable day

Miserable to who? I quite like a bit of drizzle, so stick to the facts

Home now.

 

Hour an 10 minute drive took over 4 hours!

Boy on the news just now being interviewed in the street, "I wouldn't go out in this, it's too dangerous."

 

Erm, you're outside you fucking plant pot.

It has turned out to be a 'Beast' hasn't it.

The Beast from the Yeast.

To be fair, when we were kids we’d both be arguing like fuck it was too bad to go to school and then be out all day building snowmen, having snowball fights and finding ways to get into trouble.

Sheffield's hills and snow don't mix well. I've quite enjoyed my 1 hour 15 minute walk to and from work for the last couple of days: wrap up well (in clothes bought for an Arctic holiday 2 months ago, timely) and stick a podcast on.

 

Its not all good though, the wife is stuck with 75 9-11 year olds on a school residential trip for the week and they're not sure how there going to get back tomorrow.

 

I was supposed to be in Leeds at the rugby tomorrow night, after a meeting but that's been cancelled, which is disappointing but helpful, as it means I can get things done. Cancelled a weekend booze up in Hull with some friends too, can't be arsed risking travel issues.

 

We also have some very grumpy chickens, who haven't been allowed out of the coop for 2 days.

 

No major problems, it's a mild inconvenience but it's been quite nice to have proper wintery weather.

Christ that wind is cold, I stepped out my car and for 10 yards I felt like Lawrence Oates. That's about the extent of my weather worries.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Bit icy here. Nothing to report

[Grinch]

It was so cold in work tonight, I even did a bit of work.

Fuck me, steady up lad !

No word of a lie, at least two half hour spells.

Yup.  Build a snowman, then roam round other streets looking for other snowmen to do the "Big Daddy splash" on.  Only to come back and find your own paltry effort stomped flat in your absence.

My lad goes to Italy on Sunday morning with the school for a week of skiing.  Could have saved myself a fucking packet if I'd known that the Beast fro the East was going to weather nonce us.......

One way to warm up I guess.

I think they should renationalise the rail service.

 

There. Stand down, Hades.

Faux-left Tory wanker.

[Jairzinho]

We’ve gone from having just very cold winds to about 3 inches of snow in less than 2 hours.

 

Climate change not fucking about there.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Loads of leaves and litter have accumulated by my front door and I'm livid tbh

|Climate change not fucking about there.

 

Blizzard doesn’t even come close.

 

Couldn’t even walk with your eyes open because the wind was driving snow straight into my eyes.

I can't go for that.

I'm starting to feel like one of your grumpy chickens, karl. I haven't seen my garden since Tuesday. Times like this reinforce how important getting out into the garden is to my mental wellbeing.

 

I am also going to have to dig the car out to get to work this evening.

 

Yeah, I love a bit of weather but I'm over it now

 

[Paulie Dangerously]

Really hitting home in the Dangerously household as my Nespresso pod delivery has been disrupted and there's a chance I wont have them for the weekend.

 

This means I'm going to have to buy 3rd party pods to have at home over the weekend.

Day two: I've run out of chocolate Hobnobs. Things are looking bleak.
