Only an inch or so.
That's what she said.
No snow in King's Lynn. Actually, that's a scurrilous lie. There's been an eighth of an inch.
The Weather Page 86
'They use precautionary anti-icing chemicals to try to ward off ice, and de-icing chemicals when it has formed. Taking Heathrow as an example, the airport has a fleet of de-icing vehicles that can carry 57,000 litres of chemical. More than a hundred staff and 70 vehicles of all kinds are used in the current cold weather efforts.
Salt and grit is not used, says David Learmount.
"Salt is corrosive to bare aluminium [which is often found on planes]," he says. Instead, less corrosive chemicals like urea are used in the de-icing.'
Get me a couple of slabs of Stella and I'll piss on the planes for them all night !
Mmm pissplanes.

I enjoyed the weather girl announcing a 'widespread frog'.
That's toad then, when will people learn to stop calling toads frogs?
Snowing in Bristol.
My little app on my iPhone says it's meant to snow today in london and on Thursday and Friday.
Ooh.
My looking up the weather on an internet weather page on my computer app says it might snow here today and Friday.
It's raining today. It hasn't really rained for ages here. The other day it was really windy. It also hadn't been windy for a while. Since it snowed at Christmas, the weather lately appeared to be natural. Neither too hot or cold. It was nice. But now it's floated back into my thoughts, forcing me to create this dull posting.
Today's forecast calls for a high of 82F/28C. It's been like that for a week. We seem to have gone straight from winter into summer literally overnight.
It has been dull dull dull over here in the principality. Snow or something more interesting please.
What a lovely day. I dare say that if I were a few years younger I'd be wearing a top which showed my midriff.
Heathen!
SMOG WARNING!
We have smog here. Is all bleh.
Are there aliens in it?
