The Great British Weather

If it's a condensing boiler, the outflow pipe may be frozen up. This is the plastic one outside above a drain. Get a hairdryer on it (paying particular attention to any bends). Then wrap it with cloths and get some insulation in the morning,
Hope this helps...

Oh, and bad luck Ashe. Heal up soon...

It's not just ice, it's proper fucked. The pump has been making strange grinding noises for weeks, and now it doesn't fire up at all. I've turned the gas off at the meter, as it doesn't seem right to pay for the pilot light without getting any benefit from it.

I'll sort it out eventually, but I'm getting used to it. I know it's not that cold in my flat at the moment because the laptop still works. When it gets really frosty you have to take the battery out and warm it up in your clothes for a while before it will switch on.

Everybody mind the ice thats formed on practically every single inside of each corner. Dry, cold, no salt on the roads, and iced over corners everywhere......its going to be an interesting day for commuting.

FWIW, I thought I'd try to avoid all the traffic and such so journeyed in more than an hour early, and I'm glad I did. My leg muscles never warmed up, so it was a real chore today. Kudos to the ('kin mad) cyclist that passed me, going hell for leather, in billowing running shorts, and naked pasty legs. Sir, you are truly an Englishman.

It's -4 and dry as a bone here in Leeds. Anyone showing even the slightest amount of bare flesh in this weather is either mental, extremely hard, or fleeing assailants.

so NuScoble (tm) is Nuno, and
FauxScoble is Velo libre:

and there's Original Recipe Scoble also.

That's a lot of Scoble.

the fuck is this!

i'm all three, motherfuckaz

LONDON: Don't lean folks! It's sneaky out there. Apparently dry but the slippery stuff has pooled in the cambers and racing lines of corners and around drains etc'. Keep your wits about you.

Hello, is it icy on the central London roads this morning? Hard to tell looking out of my window. I can see sun and blue sky though...

^ See above for my handy update. Ninja ice in small pools!

Hmmm. It's currently minus 4.9.

GA2G. Hope your heeling up OK. Looks like a sharp fall.

We got half a meter of snow yesterday, which has covered the ice layer with something ridable. Its also cold enough to be dry, so all-in-all quite pleasent (shovelling 30 cubic meters of snow was less fun last night though).

+1 mental?

Mind the ice. Not much on main roads but some corners have nice frozen puddles..

My HTC weather updater says that I am currently experiancing 'flurries'. I've never heard of this.

Am I about to start my menopause?
or do I just need a decent jacket?

Snow. Soho. SnoHo.. LOL

It's telling you that you're going to McDonald's for lunch.

McFlurries in Auld St.
I have weak shoes on. :-/

Where the fuck did that come from?!?!?
Wrong day to be riding the brakless... :S

Clapton looks like Lapland now.

^^from the drugs thread?

shitsleetrainsnoho..

The gherkin's quite a sight - the wind whips around it at the best of times and now the square looks like a snowglobe with flakes going in all directions

(racist)

I'm actually thinking of burning some chairs... but my heating is full-on, so it wouldn't make sense. I like to see shit burning though.
