Freezing Friday Funday

The funniest/ most annoying thing it the UK when we have snow, and the Authorities are asked to explain why roads closed, weren't adequately salted etc., part of the answer is often it was the wrong sort of snow. Perhaps we need to call on the Innuites, who have countless words to describe snow, to help make the right preparation for the downfalls. We have a similar situation when the Autumn leaves on the tracks, make it difficult for the trains to get traction. The answer has been to why it wasn't possible to clear them quickly they were the wrong sort of leaves. Reply

Well, Ken Boddie, I had heard summer was on a Tuesday last year, but ... yes. Britain generally doesn't get nearly enough summer or sun for me; it's hard enough here in southern New England sometimes, but we actually do have some warmish days throughout the season. Usually, anyway! Reply

Across the platforms I post on, Joel Anderson, it's that meme that most talk about. I just loved it for its silliness and truthfulness! Reply

Well, this winter so far, Paul \, has actually been tough on those in the south; Alabama has gotten more snow than we have here in southeastern Mass.! And there was snow predicted -- granted, about six snowflakes -- in Florida a couple of times. I fo feel sorry for your daughter and my friends down there; it's hard to have New England / Canadian winter weather there. Reply

LMAO at #3 Here in the UK we all look forward to having any weather at all. Most Brits will not admit that, but hey. :) Great laugh Susan \ud83d\udc1d Rooks, the Grammar Goddess! Reply

One of the main reasons I left UK, Susan, and settled in sunny Queensland, was because I was pissed off with the bitingly cold wet damp dingy sleety weather. I understand that summer was on a Wednesday for much of UK last year. As one who is an absolute cold weather wimp and alergic to the shivers, I’ll go with the Florida winter ‘shoveling’ 👍 Reply

Susan \ud83d\udc1d Rooks, the Grammar Goddess these are super funny I had to LOL :) Reply

Ok, so I hate self incriminating myself but I had to laugh at the one that spoke of men not growing up. I did that one to my neighbor last year when he came over to help. Oops scuze me. I think our wives knew that something was up because both of them were outside watching the two of us have an intensely significant intellectual exchange about the weather, climate change, and kind of a "Tim The Tool-time" uh, uh, er, er technical discussion about how fast those snowblowers can spew out streams of icy cheer. I got scolded despite the fact that he picked up a snow ball and beaned me in the noggin. :) This year, i decided to not get scolded and used that old fashion thing called a shovel. I slipped on the ice, and my wife asked me if I was ok ( I think there is a theme here of me in the snow and her supervising to make sure I don't do anything stupid) and with all the pride I could muster said Yep, perfect. No sooner had the words left my mouth in an icy fog, I did another winter Olympics worthy belly flop on the ground. I think I will bring back the snow blower for the next snow fall. Reply
