RMweb Gold BoD Posted January 11, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 11, 2010 I see the the government is rationing salt stocks. Why? Are they saving some for when it isn't cold and icy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted January 11, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 11, 2010 Oops - totally forgot to chime in this morning . Hope you all had a good day! Been snowing again over here, but I cannot really tell how much it added to the layer already on the ground. I hope I'll be able to head out and pick up the new computer which I am planning to get tomorrow! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonBradley Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Good morning all. No salt, no ice, no porkies. Overcast (high) but still warm. Had supper with Godson Tim and Kath last night at our local Italian restaurant, arguably one of the best in town, but none of us ate Itallian. I had a sole menieur. Absolutely delicious!

RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted January 12, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2010 Morning all early rising thanks to the fat car.

Robert Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Morning All, No new snow this morning. However, there is still quite a lot remaining from the snowstorm yesterday evening. I drove home from work yesterday on completely snow covered roads. I was somewhat amused to read that the Government in the UK is rationing salt, and they are now predicting gas supplies to run out. I wonder if Germany really does handle cold weather better or whether they just don't scream as hysterically as the British media seem to do these days. Anyway - better get on. I'm struggling to keep smiling this morning :icon_cry: Have a good day everyone :icon_wave: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Morning all early rising thanks to the fat car. You must have the XL model.....Hope you weren't injured. Morning boys. Might even venture out today. Life is full of decisions.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted January 12, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2010 Morning all... I am having the impression that the daylight's beginning to last noticeably longer these days - so much the better . Nothing of importance to report yet, though. I was somewhat amused to read that the Government in the UK is rationing salt, and they are now predicting gas supplies to run out. I wonder if Germany really does handle cold weather better or whether they just don't scream as hysterically as the British media seem to do these days. Well, many media here in Germany were, in fact, quite hysteric, if you ask me. But of course I believe the general tendency of cuttings costs at the wrong end also applies to the administration over here - and not only that, but the railways and several other branches as well. I do wonder if there may be any internal calculations according to which it may, for example, be financially acceptable to allow for extensive breakdowns of rolling stock for a few days per year, as opposed to having them designed to actually withstand severe weather...

DonBradley Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 On the other side of the scale, I am noticing that it's getting light later in the mornings. I'll have to switch on head lights soon. Sunset remains around 8:00 pm however. Happy days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted January 12, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2010 Good Morning. I'm off to college (not as a mature student, just as driver!) in a moment. Matthew has his Philosophy AS resit examination today. He isn't anxious about the exam just the bus not turning up. I won't have to clear ice off the car windscreen today as it appears that the thaw has continued overnight. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 These mountain sheep have been standing like this since it was light enough to see them. Obviously some survival skill of which we are not aware. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium eldavo Posted January 12, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 12, 2010 Morning All, Definitely less snow this morning but it was still below freezing when I walked the dog. Might even venture into the office today. Once a week is probably enough really. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PhilH Posted January 12, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2010 Flippin' 'eck, had enough of this. I'm on call this week and tramping around the Hampshire countryside at 1am looking for bursts in snowy fields is not my idea of what I should be doing at my age.Never mind, all part and parcel of the job I suppose. It's not as though I've got a good weekend to look forward to - I mean helping Dave with Cramdin and meeting up with Gordon, PhilC and GeoffR at the MHR Freight Weekend mini exhibition doesn't sound like fun does it....?

sixoh8sixoh Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Morning all! Grey but snowless here. There's still some ice on the pavements in places. I'm on a day off today.
