The car is an Volvo s60, so the battery is situated in the trunk that was frozen stuck. The doors were also frozen so it took some time to get in, it was a cold night, probably around -25C.

I hope you were home when it happened, as opposed to being stuck somewhere else without the benefit of heat and shelter.

Had ourselves a real proper snowstorm today! It was terrific!

In the morning. Nothing special just yet, but those clouds looks menacing...

Couple of hours later. You can just about see the tramstation on the other side in the left background. It was incredible. You could barely see a thing! And the footprints you left were gone in minutes! (That's Martin, a good friend of mine and a classmate on the picture btw).

And just for the sake of it, here I am:

This picture might give you a better idea about the heavy snowfall...

Most we've had here is sleet. Which predictably showed up while I was outside

The snow, if it arrives, is forecast for tonight and tomorrow morning...probably when I'm heading out for work

Still, once I've got my full Siberian gear on (see sig) I'll be snug

And work is always bloody hot, so I'll defrost there.
I think the worst of it will be inland as usual, we'll be lucky to see an inch of it.

I was at my girlfriends place so no survival training needed this time.

Be careful what you wish for. You just may get it.

Because they are clearly stealing all our snow...

I'll check if I have any decent snow pictures from Poland (Yeah, I know, that's cheating), I got caught in a really nice snowstorm in Łódź.

Ok, Raptor...stop it with that damn weather control device of yours! Had a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder about an hour ago, it's sleeting/snowing, blowing a gale and the lights are flickering...

Business as usual for the East Anglian coastal winter

Task Force · 12-17-09, 04:12 PM

Raptor. please send snow to US east cost... AND NO I don't want a nuclear winter...

Ill consider coming out of my bunker...

If I was in control of the weather control device, the first place to get some decent weather is right here...
