The snow has arrived in England, all 2 inches of it - which means general panic, cars breaking down, trains not running and much amusement from the rest of the world where it snows properly.
We've been watching cars trying to get up our hill all morning with varying levels of success.

Before you laugh too hard, remember we do only have snow once every couple of years or so, and don't have things like snow ploughs or chains or special tyres.

And because I love this, here's Captain Picard.

Just talked to my mom. They got 5-8" yesterday, were actually snowed in, and about 40,000 people lost power. However, it should all be melted by tomorrow.

Where's your mum based again? Mine's had about 8 inches in Shrewsbury - impressive for us. :D

Birmingham. The one in Alabama. Named for yours, because of the iron and steel industry.

Ah yes, i'm sure you told me that before. Actually our Birmingham was more known for its canals, and manufacturing buttons, guns and jewellery than steel - Sheffield is/was our big steel city.
