Snow... Already!
« on: 07 October 2013, 12:28:49 pm »
I was just on the beeb weather site planning which of my two days off is best to go for a run. Tuesday or Wednesday. So I have a look at my usual places en route to check the general weather and found this -

Heavy snow shower and minus conditions on Wednesday  :'( . Its 17 and sunny in Glasgow today. How can this be, Tyndrum is only an hour up the road. You foccers south of the boarder have no idea what we have to endure up here, so enjoy it  ;) .[size=78%]  [/size]


Looks like I'll have to dig out the winter clobber then.

Thursdays looking a bit chilly down here.

 
 
Sssssshhhhhh!! Don't give away state secrets! No need to let "that lot up there" know these things, or when they get independence they'll do a Putin and charge a fortune for their oil. Oops! Er, our oil  :lol

Ok, conspiracy theory:
 
Remember how long last winter dragged on?
Well, during the cold war, it was talked about how the Soviets were experimenting with cloud seeding and other general foccing around with the weather. Since then, the Russians have developed their oil and gas extracting industry and have become major suppliers to Europe and much of the rest of the world. So who is set to benefit from western Europe having more extreme, prolonged winters?  ;)
Don't be surprised if Putin commissions massive wind farms (fans) to push more of that icy Siberian air this way...... :lol
 
Yes, a very cold war  :rollin

Hope those Russian fans blow hard Nick as it is still 26/29 degrees down here on the Costa Blanca sooner I can get the Air conditioning off the better costing a bloody fortune. Bit annoyed though that Osborne is going to stop my Winter Fuel allowance though in 2015, the bounder.
