Only politicians could have held a debate in Copenhagen about global warming when the world is having one of its coldest periods. I think it was the BNP leader who attended that said it is the biggest hoax of all time.

It's not been called global warming by scientists for about 10 years, it's climate change, but it does result in overall warming. But if it's snow that we get because of it I'm tempted to drive a bit more!

Great picture. Looks like an awesome sight... if only I had the time (and the clobber).

I hate snow.

The scenario.

I work on top of a hill(just over a 1000 feet) so 4 wheel drive and hiking gear is a must.Been stuck at work for 2 days,the boss has crashed the landrover taking out two other cars in the process and two other people have also ditched thier cars in drifts,freaking lovely ;D

Now trying to dig out the car park so I can find my car.Its now snowing again and more on the way :(

Oh and I`m moving house on Tuesday :o

Dig out the car park to find your car, you're in the UK, not Canada! The snow has only been 1m deep in Inverness for christs sake! :)

In all seriousness I have a mate who lived in canada for a while, the locals were skitted by the army guys for calling them out for help when it snowed. When it was 3m deep, until then no-one moaned and life went on as normal. Seem the UK needs to get a grip (literally).

Lol, it's typical of Britain.........something like this winter and the country, more or less, grinds to a halt, literally. I reckon we petition the government to fund us to drive round all the side streets and rip the snow up for other, lesser cars ;)

Tis great fun driving in this weather, even just going to work. I'm gladly up 20 mins early just to enjoy the scenery and snow :)

Poke em in the eye.!! ;)

The can't take you in for "unauthorised absence" as you made the effort and called.  If you never made any effort/calls ect then i can understand...
