snowychap Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 They're now talking about 'some weeks' before temperatures may get back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Oh cool, the paths are clearing up, maybe I can go for a ru... oh wait, it is snowing again and absolutely Baltic outside. If this is the pattern for the future of the UK then I'm buggering off. The weather itself isn't bad, I should add, just everything that goes with it i.e. being inside, being cold (like when the oil runs out and it costs £54345645 to heat the house), and drinking too much coffee as a result and subsequently pissing like a horse. Bah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b6bloke Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Still some serious 6ft snow drifts in rural parts of Lichfield and my gf managed drive my car straight into one and had to be rescued by a farmer. No damage thank god, she thought it was funny until I asked her if she had filled up as I had asked and she ran out if fuel too :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I've fled back south to the sunnier climes of Warwickshire anyway. Leeds is really growing on me though. It's a nice town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 try Aqbar's for a curry in Leeds when you get the time is it Aqbars? Not sure, I was smashed by the time I got there, to be honest, it could've been a Chinese the state I was in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 3, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 3, 2013 So let me get this straight. There's a Chinese or Indian somewhere in Leeds that probably isn't called Aqbar's and may or may not be good? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted May 15, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2013 Snow and winds of 65mph hit Devon and Cornwall Snow fell in Princetown overnight and a number of trees were brought down by high winds Snow has fallen in parts of Devon in what has been described as "fairly unusual" weather for May. Winds of up to 65mph also struck the South West coast overnight with a number of trees coming down, some blocking roads. Western Power Distribution said homes in Cornwall were still without power after thousands were cut off overnight. Two inches of snow also fell in Shropshire overnight and people have been warned to prepare for flooding. Fourteen flood alerts are still in place in Devon and Cornwall following heavy rain on Monday. Sheila Coates, from Princetown, told BBC Radio Devon: "It's crazy. When I went to bed last night I couldn't see out of my front window for the snow. "I've lived here all my life and I've never known weather like it at this time of year." Paul Mott, a forecaster at MeteoGroup, said: "We've certainly seen some strong winds, gusty winds overnight of 50-55mph over much of the English Channel coast. "Earlier in the night there were winds of 65mph over the southern coast of Cornwall and Devon." Mr Mott said the winds were "fairly unusual" for May and that a deep low pressure system over several parts of England had brought the cold weather. The winds are expected to ease during Wednesday with the weather getting drier and brighter. BBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 We don't get snow in Bangor, but the winds are ridiculous. I'm heading back to Lichfield today though, so I'm fully expecting to drive into a blizzard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
