William wondering what my latest delivery for my NC might be 
Two front hubs
8 hub bolts
4 upper front arm bolts
Like my girlfriend⌠he raised an eyebrow as to when Iâll actually get to fit them instead of just adding them to my âtoo do â list 
Hopefully not counting my chickens or tempting fate here in
Newcastle-under-Lyme, STAFFS
But after being warned of high winds, snow up to 30 cm and power cutsâŚ.. so far just a dusting, turning to slush 
We werenât warned about the 20 cms of snow we already had a few days ago !!!
Those of us of a certain age will remember the Michael Fish broadcast when he got the weather totally wrong in 1987
One poster on the Forum said âLook out the windowâ !!
And I used to get a âfeelâ for when it was going to snow based on how shivery I was feeling [obviously went to pot during the menopause years 
]
What I grow weary with is organisations making excuses for not doing their jobs due to âsevere weather warningsâ
SoâŚâŚBlack Bin not emptied [could be worseâŚâŚ.at least I no longer live in BâHam]
ApologiesâŚâŚ.having a bit of a moan âŚâŚ.because there is Snow like âUp Norfâ and snow âŚ..elsewhere
One year we were skiing out of Stuben, a tiddly little village near St Anton, and we only managed half a day on the piste on the first day before visibility was so bad we gave up.
It snowed all day and night for the the next five days. We were well and truly snowed in, the car park was a flat snowfield and out of bounds because of Avalanche risk, the only road in-out and ski lifts likewise.
It didnât help that friends based in the main town of St Anton were enjoying some of the best skiing in their lives; fresh powder everywhere, every day!
We stuck twigs in the snowbank by the chalet door in a column at hand-span intervals. Over successive days, the snow compacted and they closed up to a couple of centimetres, but the top of the bank remained above a metre and a half.
The village ran out of beer and bread, and the wine was running low too.
Because there was a half day of full area skiing we could not claim a refund on the lift pass. Much grumbling.
However, miraculously, on Friday night the snowplough appeared and cleared the main road so the guests could be changed over and fresh supplies brought in!
Iâll never return to Stuben.
Here in South Derbyshire we have snow, not enough to stop me walking to Asda if I so wish. Roads are clear enough, side roads slushy but very passable, itâs never been freezing and itâs all melting away.
All the schools in the area are closed except the youngest, my 9 year old grandsons school, he went in, walked in. So why is it the older kids get to to be told itâs dangerous to attend school today, methinks ah another long weekend off I guess for those there?
Iâve took a decision myself mainly because I donât want to stand out in the cold this evening, football training (outdoors) is off for the 9 year old grandson. Officially they havenât said itâs off tonight, go figure?
That white Alfa looks good, Steve!
Indeed! A Guilia Ti Super, no less. That can go in the classic lineup.
Bellisimo! 
Beautiful
âmiraculously, on Friday night the snowplough appearedâŚâŚâŚ..â
Thank you RichardFX for evidencing âsnow elsewhereâ 
Iâm probably going âoff pisteâ 
here to the thread and I donât want to start a new one
But I do think we are totally unprepared in the UK for the consequences of Climate Change
I meanâŚwhy are we building Flood Barriers when we should be building Monsoon Type Drains 
On a good note âŚâŚ.Black Bin emptied today on a Saturday [now that wouldnât have happened in the olden days !]
A view towards Holme Moss near Holmfirth in West Yorkshire.an area of outstanding natural beauty and fantastic driving roads.but not today unfortunately!
Cracking image!
Donât like the burner, loving the cat 
Donât start!!
That is an almost ethereal image of the Manchester skyline.
Bravo
What is the tower on the horizon? Holme Moss?
