Snows a little bit here... then a little bit more, then a shedload and so on... for four months. Worth it for this month though.

Yep, that's a seal at the front, probably waiting to be picked up and dropped into someone's freezer.

F*ck, that is so totally my type of environment! Does your village have a vacancy for local bum or idiot?

My girlfriend said it's snowing in Wolverhampton quite thickly but we don't have any at all on the Isle of Man. :-(

Plenty of contenders for the title but plenty of room for more. Mind, you'd have to work hard to earn it - the guys who ride skidoos across the highway for short-cuts, trying to catch some air as they bounce through the central reservation take some beating. Great to watch while they last.

about the same mental age as me and probably most of us ;-)

fantastic pics ODB, in fact all the pics so far have been superb

we have probably less than an inch of snow, its falling pretty slowly and it still took me nearly 2 hours to get home :-?
