Wrap up warm, southerners, and leave the bike in the garage

20cm of snow forecast for London and the SE on Friday.

 

The depth they're forecasting is increasing by 5cm every hour! It was
only 10cm at first, then 15cm...

 

I've just pointed out to my dear client that I'm not planning to wander
into their offices on Friday. I don't even want to know what it's going
to be like if it really snows.

 

Crazy, innit.

Over the last few months while I was in London it was always warmer down
there, very noticeably so.

Now, it is positively baking at around 5 degrees by 0830 in the mornings
up north.

 

Excellent. I need to get some practice in on the Tenere.

 

It was sufficiently cold this morning [1] to put the liner back in my
jacket.

The HG Pathans got an outing, too.

[1] 2 degC, according to the display on the 13's dash.

 

The snow falling now is starting to settle.

Glad I'm working from home.

 

Happening in Paris and IdF tonight, apparently.

 

Pah, call that snow? This was mine:

6

 

Blimey! I always thought that the "RTB vs PFF" threads were meant to
have finished back in October!

 

We had a tiny bit settle earlier, but it's pretty much all gone now.

 

See that '6'?

 

You missed the last 6 off the end of it, didn't yuou?

 

Meanwhile, back in the metropolis,

Seems to have almost stopped in SW18. For now.

 

I'm off out cycling later, I must remember to put on my winter shorts.

 

I'm off out drinking later, I must remember to put on my winter vest
for inbetween pubs.

 

Winter shorts? Bugger that, I've been in overshoes, shorts, tights,
base layer, softshell, hardshell, beanie and helmet for months.

 

Meanwhile, back at home (Swiss_home) there's tons of the stuff. Which
I'm looking forward to at the weekend once I've left rainy california.

 

I'm not fussed what happens with the weather so long as I can get to the
Barbican tomorrow for Spiritualized and the west end on Saturday. After
that I'm happy to be stuck at home until April.
