Snowing enough to settle in central London and apparently quite deep out where I live. Cue an hour of "Yay snow!" followed by hours of "fucking snow stopping me getting home on a Friday evening!"

It has started to stick here. Going out tonight will be interesting as my boots love to slip. Damn you, Kenneth Cole!

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

It was taken on the M4 between junctions 28 and 29 just before midday today.

Stephen Sorby took this photograph when he was travelling from London to Wales with his friend. He said he couldn't believe what he had seen:

"We are outraged with what we saw, we couldn't believe anyone would drive like that. So careless to risk the lives of others." Mr Sorby estimates that the car was travelling around 60mph to 70mph.

Walked 15 minutes to the bus terminal, and I think I have frostbite on my thighs. Dress pants do not equate to good cold-weather gear. It was -20F/-30-ishC with windchill at the time. I need snow pants, but there's still no snow. :mad:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Lots of snow, -20c with snow this morning.
