curiouswombatThe great snowstorms sweeping across the British Isles have swept across the bottom half of the small island - blown by steady 35mph winds. It began to snow at 9am. It snowed almost constantly until 5pm - and not a single flake has stuck below about 1,000ft. I am really quite disappointed as I am a bit of a big kid when it snows - at least for the first couple of days.
I do, still, send warm wishes, mugs of virtual hot chocolate, woolly blankets and so on to those of you who are knee-deep in snow and feeling the need to cuddle up by the fire. I hope you are all enjoying the weather rather than finding it makes life too difficult.
And now for something completely different.
Across the Atlantic, The New York Daily News went out to find Mr Perfect after revealing the results of a survey by an online dating site into what women look for in a man. They reckon that they've found him - and guess what? He's a Manxman. Actually his father taught me French at school and I can vaguely remember him as a small child...

Date: 18/01/2013 10:22 pm (UTC)It is still snowing here and it is, just, sticking - but it'll be probably have melted by the morning - but then I do live only about 200ft above sea level and less than 1/2 mile from the sea.
We were all organised for a possible blizzard this afternoon - a forecast of 35mph winds and heavy snow made it seem likely... We had carefully worked out who would need to leave to go home quickly, which of us could stay longer - who might need to call and check on which patient on the way home - we were all prepared for coping with a blizzard. Then it didn't really happen.
