RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted February 12, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 12, 2012 Rest on your laurels if they're hardy. I think lonesome pines would be more suitable with the present weather. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm not surprised it slowed you down if it was going in reverse... ;-) Dave. Evening all, have returned from celebrating DD1's 21st birthday, patchy fog was the only problem, no back seat driving from the inlaws and only a Fiat with the strangest headlamp pattern I have ever seen slowed us down over the hills.

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted February 13, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 13, 2012 Morning all... Just about -4° this morning and snow has been predicted to begin later today. Thankfully, it doesn't look like I'll have to do any long trips - meaning beyond the supermarket. More news to follow as, and if, events unfold...cheers everyone!

trisonic Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 -4C is a "ripe" temperature for snow....when it gets too cold it is often too dry for the snow to make it to the ground - it sublimes in the air. best, pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Good bright Monday morning all. Slightly cloudy, but generally bright with a slight breeze which promises to become a wind and cool at 21C. Another week closer to next Christmas (I know that will rile some) BoD sais ......."Now what shall I do .." You couldn't during the Summer holiday, then again over Christmas break, so on with the shunting layout.......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Btw my Wife's hometown along the spine of Italy is under 3 metres (10 feet?) of snow with no power and helicopter supplies of food only. That's a lot of snow! Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BoD Posted February 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 13, 2012 You may be having a problem with your foot bu there's absolutely nothing wrong with your memory!! I started on the loco depot again yesterday but ran out of one style of plasticard that I needed. A trip to the model shop is on the cards today. Then on with the modelling.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted February 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 13, 2012 Morning all. Cold and a bit murky at the moment. My scraping services will be needed this morning. Aditi's journey to work during half term weeks is usually easier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Morning All, After a few days absence, I am back. The internet connection in Tutzing was a bit flaky, and I didn't get a chance to go online over the weekend. Hopefully there won't be too much snow today. I've got an appointment at the dentist later on Have a good day everyone... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 13, 2012 Morning all - the snow melt continues leaving everything damp, miserable and misty after the nice sharp frost of recent days. Strange isn't it that the melting of the stuff is far less attractive and in some respects less tolerable than having it frozen hard with nice freeze-dried roads and paths. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 45156 Posted February 13, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 13, 2012 Morning All Ugh = dreich, dreich, dreich - but temperature at least in positive territory, and forecast to stay there. Other than that, not a lot... Regards to All Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Like Stewart said. Just a normal, grey late winter's morning here. A little surreal, considering the cold and chaos elsewhere. I think it could be described as 'meteorologically bland'. Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted February 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 13, 2012 Well the weekend started off well - got a lot of modelling done... and then suddenly it went downhill yesterday! Could not find the effort to do anything at all. Strangely enough, my best friend also felt exactly the same. Last night was quite stressful as I had to juggle several things - my coursemate who takes me into uni said our timetable has been messed up and they've moved everything around. Cue madness with me trying to sort out babysitting and organising lifts. After about 50mins or trying to sort it all out it was eventually decided that he couldn't be bothered to go to the first 9am lecture (which also means I can't) and then I found out babysitting is cancelled anyway. Eugh, what a nightmare. Anyway, I've got to go in to hand in my bottle today, and also to go to a two hour lecture on something (what it is, I have no idea, but I know it's a computer lab session). Now to print off my submission form, have a shower and then just sand the edge to my bottle just to give it a better finish... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Morning all. Peace and quiet at last. Family have all departed. Love 'em all dearly, but it so nice to have our home back to ourselves. Missed the BBC documentary last night on the train driver in the US, or was it SA?, so iPlayer and a coffee whilst Jack is out walking the dogs this morning. Have a good Monday, one and all.

Believe it or not they very definitely didn't - but the standards did seem to vary a bit in the 1970s and early '80s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
