So it begins!

The first flakes have touched down, and it's picking up quite quick.

Have got my alternator to change tomorrow which is gonna be a nightmare in this weather. Have thrown a tarpaulin over the car and surrounding area so i can at least have a clear space. Gonna be damn cold though.

Still . . . i'd rather do it in the snow than in the rain.

No the TV was fine it was one of those weird moments. Like if you see someone fall over with a cup of tea in their hand and they don't spill a drop.

Even I was laughing about it, Like a 5" patch of ice in the whole of town and I found it. Laughing
