I say! That's a whopper! Reminds me of when I had the Mumps. *winces at memory*

It's sad but true, Thinon. Despite an almost constant drizzle all day of the most pathetic snowflakes I've ever seen, there wasn't enough snow on the ground to make even a modest snowball.

Evening, snowmaiden...... it was a bit of a let down today, wasn't it? But we never usually get any snow of any significance from any other direction than the East or North-East here. I wasn't surprised by the pathetic covering of.....ooooh, 1cm?, we got today at all.

Cheers, Arrows.......I've already spotted Osbourne in the football thread. Is it bad form to wind up the mods on my first night? *smiles* Evening, Cymru and Nimbus 20....thanks for the welcome. I think I'm pushing my luck with general chit-chat in this thread already, so I'll go and have a good look around the site and hopefully learn to post things in the right place.

Thankyou for the welcome pottyprof, Slinky and wellington boot......I shall explore the site and endeavour to learn new things!

Hello everyone, newbie here! You all seem a pretty friendly bunch, so I thought I'd gently dip my toe in the water....... I have no expertise whatsoever in meteorology, in fact I haven't a clue. But........I am very keen and interested! I love the weather, in all it's wonderful diversity that we get here in the British Isles. And a few weeks of watching and learning from you guys will stand me in good stead, I'm sure. Right......that's my maiden speech out of the way, I'll just sit quietly here at the back of the class and continue my education! *smiles*
