Snow on the way!

Yep, this is for real - in the USA, but makes no difference, snow is more or less the same (well in England it is sometimes called 'the wrong kind of snow by British Rail and other services ;) ) all over :

night night.

If indeed it .... is extremely rude and shows that you doubt the veracity of what is being said. Get real indeed.

The last word?(21.45) The last word?(22.08) Or the last word? (22.11)

There will be more, mark my word!

My grandparents cottage was as you describe Djen ( and also in Yorkshire) thinking about it now, I don't know how they managed to be so happy, but I suppose if it's what you are used to then you cope.Every Winter seemed to bring snow and we all had endless chilblains.

Or the last word (22.13)

Looking at a snowy country scene is beautiful, but if you are older and have to trudge through it to the shops, especially up hills, then it's no fun at all.
That's why I enjoy living in ' the soft South'

Minus 5, minus 6 in the North- and 1 in London- so consistently below 7- stay safe.

Mine was in North Northumberland, roses, when my eldest son was a year old. Over the winter too, a bad winter, lots of thick snow, but we moved pretty quickly, to somewhere with a bathroom and central heating.
Didn't have a car then so we didn't need winter tyres.

All the cars have frosty coats here in Stockport tonight but we have had no snow. Lots of scraping sounds in the morning I think.

By the way on the Subject of Tyres

A very high percentage of accidents is caused by Incorrect Tyre Pressures

Just thought I'd mention that whilst we're on the subject of tyres

Must check my tyre pressures tomorrow, rose, thanks for the reminder. Mine were dangerously low earlier in the year...

and

Our first frost of the Winter! goodbye poppies ( shrivelled) so long delphiniums, adios primroses. Still, only about four weeks until Christmas, so they didn't do badly.
Anyone out on their sledge yet?

Some of the hydrangea heads were still pink on Saturday; now they are all brown.

At least the mild weather has taken us to the third week in November, which is amazing.I would like a sprinkling of snow for Christmas Day, just so the trees look wonderful, but no more than that.

There is a red hot poker flowering in my garden (just the one bloom). Perhaps I should go and warm my hands on it!

I've only just put my primroses in - oops

Wow, red hot pokers in Nov! Although we have two clumps they haven't flowered since late Sept.early Oct.
This is the first year that primroses have flowered so late.Have to get used to no flowers in the garden now, until the snowdrops .

The flower spike has just suddenly appeared this week!

Minus 24C last night- and a sunny, cold, crisp winter wonderland today- everything is twinkling. Mighty glad I have winter tyres on, I have to say ;)

You might find a thermal vest a little less bulky around your middle, granjura

Brrr! -24 Celsius? That is cold indeed! Colder than Russia and more than 20 degrees colder than Geneva!
Winter draw(ers) on.

Absolutely determined not to enter the fray over winter tyres but it's not so much getting the tyres on but getting them balanced afterwards. As the steward of the cars it always ended up as my job. I think ,but I Am a total ignoramus about cars, that winter tyres are not a good idea for normal roads or so the nice AA man told me
