Record snowfall and freezing temperatures in the UK according to the news. Hoping all our sisters over there are safe and warm!

YONUH,
I know what you mean; I hope they're safe too. The weather here
is a bit odd as well. The temps keep fluctuating!

Here, too, Jabber. The lows are in the 30s with 25 predicted Monday night - too cold for me! Yesterday's high was 70 but then will be mid to low 50s Mon & Tues. Crazy weather!

Mountain Ash, I hope this mess is all gone by next weekend! I've seen the pictures and video, and it doesn't look very good. Although freshly fallen snow makes the landscape sparkle and looks beautiful, it does create headaches for those who have to go out in it.

Thanks Yonuh

Will be disappointed not to travel..its a Victorian Christmas celebration in a Cathedral town (Durham) and has been a highlight in the past..
a truely lovely experience..children walk with candles in the dark up the wining road just as darkness falls..nativity with a donkey..carols and crafters..and for foodies..wow.
I hope to buy gifts at the venue in the square.

So fingers crossed...

Thanks, Yonuh. We're trying to keep as cosy as we can. Temp was down to -17C in some parts. I dread going to work this week because apart from the cold snap, we have a tube strike early in the week, as well as another round of student protests. All could mean a long hike until one could hail a cab home...if one is lucky enough.

Hi, Lola. I read about the tube strike and thought about you. Here's hoping you get where you're going and back home without incident.

MA,
I can picture that candle at dusk parade. I bet that's beautiful.
And,hope the weather cooperates in a gentler fashion with you ladies across the pond.
Lola,
Hope events around the strike goes as you'd like them to.
Prayers and blessings.

All schools are closed and 650 travellers had to sleep in a community centre in a town not far away.Some people
were in vechicles for 16 hours..
minus 16 in the Highlands.
Lorries had jack knifed and closed snow bound roads and the ploughs are unable to clear the road..trees fall due to heavy snow and put the power cables off..
This is a very early start to winter .Depends on what the continent blows in next..
Lola
saw the commuters on the news in London and thought of you.
least no snow was lying there.hope you coped .

Scotland is a whole different ball game..and there are people worse off than we are
