Subject: RE: BS: Snow watch 2010/11
Something like Bonzo's fall in NW Kent - the path I cleared yesterday was about 10 ins deep this morning. It wasn't snowing when I woke in the night but by this morning a lot had arrived. It's small flakes (<0.5 cm) falling straight down and it isn't stopping.
The local Co-op has shortages and massive queues. What has gone - meat, veggies, bread (there was a queue at the local proper baker), milk (dried and tinned as well)(some people had baskets full of fresh), crisps, porage, custard and milk puddings, chocolate fingers. And I saw one basket with nothing but wine. The newspapers haven't arrived. (I didn't look everywhere, so there may have been other shortages.) I was queueing next to a woman with spinach and parsnips for her tortoises. (In a converted shed.)
We've no buses, and the nearest train line is closed.
A neighbour said that it wasn't really snow - he'd been in Canada.
Re: wellies - are they OK with layered socks inside? My furry boots are now letting water in. Not that I'm planning to be out for long enoough for frostbite.
