Got a snow shovel at a garden centre - B&Q don't stock them. I also got a bag of rock salt. It's being so cheerful that keeps me going
You be careful with that snow shovel, now you've set an ambition to outlive me. I don't want to win just yet.

Swans are migrating South 3 weeks early.
I suggest you invest in jumpers.
-
Very sad news. I'm sure his memory will be marked with great respect at Old Trafford.
-
Brilliant try by Lawrence.
There's no doubt who are 'the entertainers' in this one, and it isn't Saints.
-
It was like that in Gloucester for NZ v Lebanon.
-
will do, 18 mins to go crusaders still in with a chance.
Not after that 'try' to Roby.
Some miserable decisions by video refs in SL and the NRL this weekend.
-
I found it rather irritating that the Sky team gave the impression that Wigan were somehow awesome, and that Hudds were there just to make up the numbers. I don't think Clarky was too happy at having to explain 'how Huddersfield won it'.
I can't see Wigan going on to take the big prize.

I always go for the underdog in situations like this, so that'll be Warrington. Fairly disappointing underdogs today though.
-
Pryce out. Makeshift halfs for Saints, in Wilkin and Moore.
Has to be a Leeds win.
-
Well, I just signed up now, as I realised there is a gaping hole in Saturday mornings.
The Rabbitos v Tigers (Burgess v Ellis) coming up, and I'll not see it.

Perhaps Mr Mathers likes arguing with t**ts on the internet. Perhaps it is his way of winding down; after all a lot of us seem to spend a lot of time on here doing it.
And, for a player, it is much better than going to a club or a bar, being hassled by your typical know-it-all and then having to resort to sticking one on him.
Right on all points.

Catalans are no longer at the bottom of the table, and should also overtake Salford. Who would have thought it?

Result after a great game reads Salford City Reds 17-14 Harlequins RL.
The Quins crossfield kick is taken by Daniel Holdsworth and the clock will run dead meaning Salford complete the double over the men from the capital.
Thanks for the commentary Mick.

It's not bloody Alan Carr running onto the pitch.
Apparently, Alan Carr's dad was the manager of Northampton Town, and was 'disappointed' at his son's chosen career path.
So he says in his act.

I have never seen a redwing in my garden. If they have been there, I've failed to identify them. I had a bullfinch last week, but not in the hour allocated. Brilliant vivid red. I often get troops of rooks. I may have jackdaws, but have been mixing them up with carrion crows.
I'm guessing you don't put out nyger seed?
-
Not a bad visual haul that - I wasn't in the weekend but I've done it in the past. What kind of area are you in (rural, semi rural, urban, prison)?
Do it tomorrow, they'll never know.
In a village, woodland garden, and backing on to farmland.
I frequently see green woodpeckers, and as many as three at a time, and more rarely a lesser spotted, but not over the weekend, so that was a bit disappointing. I've not seen a siskin for quite some time, and they would normally eat nyger seed, if they could get past the goldfinches.

Did anyone take part in the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch this weekend?
Here's my tally:
2 x Dunnock
4 x Blackbird
3 x House Sparrow
6 x Goldfinch
3 x Great ######
2 x Robin
2 x Blue ######
1 x Woodpigeon
1 x Songthrush
1 x Wren
2 x Collared Dove
2 x Greater Spotted Woodpecker
1 x Greenfinch
There's a few that didn't turn up at the allotted time, but that's how the system works.

Jays are shy birds who rarely come into urban areas. We're very happy for the rare visits our local jays give us. Then we look into the field out back and see about 20+ magpies.
I've seen a few jays in gardens in the leafier parts of West London.
-
I had some long tailed #### on one of my bird feeders today; the first time I've seen that. Their usual environment seems to be concrete and tarmac.
-
Snow returning to the South East again tonight apparently, and spreading across the country overnight.

I was going to report that it is 89F in Haiti today, but as this has turned into a bitchfest about Canadian temperatures, I can't be bothered.
Is there any snow?
-
You know how turning your fridge up does not make the house colder? It is a bit like that.
Please stop being a ######.
You are indulging in political correctness. The science comes to a scientific conclusion that is politically unacceptable so you lead a PC-brigade in condemning the results and demanding that they stop being able to speak.
You appear to use the ad hominem attack as a first resort Bob. That and posting dead links from the Royal Society. Come over to the climate change thread and post your evidence, if you have any. I will dismantle it, bit by bit, just to draw out the pleasure.
-
So well above average temperatures from 22 days ago can be dismissed? I forgot you only accept links if they agree with you. Haha you are great!
Ok ok the world is cooling you are right. Everyone else and their pesky thermometers are wrong.
The met office needs you as you, as you are way more accurate than a super computer.
Tell you what. Leave this thread for people who want to discuss the local snow (and that still includes me) and post to the climate change thread instead. I'll argue the case with you and your comrades there, if you are up to it.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It was -17.3C in Llysdinam in Powys last night. A November record.
