Britain's Big Freeze

· 07 Jan '10 ·
Britain's Big FreezeIf you're not in Britain, and just a little curious about what we're all winging about these past few days, check out this fantastic satellite photo taken by NASA this morning: Yes, folks it's snow, and lots of it. We in Britain don't "do" snow at all, especially down in the south of the country. It also certainly doesn't help ...

Snowing Bubbles

· 05 Jan '10 ·
I've just got home after driving home from work in probably the heaviest snow fall I've ever seen. It was very pretty and looked like it was snowing clumps of bubbles, like those that spew out of a bubble machine at a foam party. Sadly, it was super slippy too, so uber concentration was needed. Won't be going anywhere in ...

This Snow is Unbelievable

· 21 Dec '09 ·
This Snow is UnbelievableThe snow in the south of the UK is really unbelievable today. I've not seen anything like it in all my time in the UK. It started snowing at about 12:30 in Reading and hasn't stopped since and it's all settling. By the size of the build up on the balcony rails, I'd say we've had at least 3 inches ...

Pre-Christmas Snow

· 18 Dec '09 ·
Pre-Christmas SnowLast night the heavens opened and a good five to ten centimetres of snow fell in our area giving us our second opportunity this year (we've had snow in February already) to wake up to a white blanket over everything. Here are a few snaps I took today - I didn't go overboard this time. As we've had this snow ...

Let it Snow

· 16 Dec '09 ·
Winter was very late this year, and boy has it come with a vengeance. It's snowing right now. I'll hopefully get a chance to go grab my camera from the car and get some snaps. So much for global warming.

Finally a Use for the W Button

· 02 Feb '09 ·
Finally a Use for the W ButtonWhen I first got my car, I noticed a button in the centre console the I've never seen before and had no idea what it was for... According to the manual, it's the "Winter mode" button. I thought to myself at the time: "I'll never need to use that." I was so wrong. I got to use my "W" this ...

Our Honeymoon: Lake Tahoe and Mammoth Lakes

· 06 Nov '08 ·
Our Honeymoon: Lake Tahoe and Mammoth LakesWelcome to the second part of our honeymoon trip. It's been a while since I posted the first part as I've been busy working my way through the photos. I also had to wait until the end of October to upload them as we were really close on using up our monthly broadband bandwidth allocation for the month. Anyway, here ...

First Snow

· 29 Oct '08 ·
First SnowIt was only yesterday I was commenting on how winter has arrived already. Well, I can confirm it most definitely has. It snowed last night. It's certainly not the thickest snow I've seen in the UK, but certainly think it's the first time it's snowed in October since I've lived in the UK. Here are a few pics I took ...

One Feisty Snowman

· 10 Apr '08 ·
One Feisty SnowmanFollowing our snowfall on Saturday night, a couple of kids built a snowman on the grass across the road from us. Well, it's now Thursday and we've had 3 days of glorious sun shine and remnants of our neighbourhood snowman are still there... He's lost his head, and his stature is a bit diminished, but he's not giving in... he ...

Global Warming Shmarming

· 06 Apr '08 ·
Global Warming ShmarmingLook what I woke up to this morning...                                                 Global warming shmarming. It's 6 April, our clocks say it's summer (BST) and it's snowing - and appears to have snowed over an inch's worth overnight. I've never seen it snow this much in the south of England in the time I've been here. Just yesterday I was playing ...
