Snow in Portsmouth!

[jellyellie]

Well, that's a first. Nearly two months of living aboard in the UK and we have almost two inches of snow on deck! The marina looks beautiful. It's bloody cold though, and pretty dangerous.

I think it'll have to be oilies and a snowfight later, with more snow on its way soon...

Hi Jellyellie,
just been reading your bit in YM.

Just started snowing again in Waterlooville (just to the north of you) so there is more heading your way...

20.5 degrees inside, 1.7 outside, and I've just noticed the barometer has just hit the deck so could be in for a blizzard.

Oilies for a snow fight? Nah!

It's not fun unless you can see the horror on your victim's face as that super sized snow ball crumbles down their neck.

 

[jellyellie]

Yeah, been snowing again for about two hours now. Awesome! Nice and warm on the boat.

NathanLee, I never said anything about oilies for the boyfriend...

A veritable little igloo you have got there!
"the barometer has just hit the deck" - No, that's the frozen nail falling out of the wall /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Glad the heater is man enough (or woman!). Nearly froze to death struggling up the pontoon to get more gin though. 3 inches of snow on pontoon - 6 inches on deck. Better now though! Time to head South methinks.

Re: Snow in Wiltshire!

Somewhat removed from Liveaboard . . but we drove back from Bristol to Oxford last (Tuesday) evening. Worst snow conditions I have ever experienced. White-out standard blizzard on the M4 coming up to Swindon, just couldn't see anything ahead. 15 miles from Oxford very little sign of recent snow at all. No wonder the poor old weatherpeople get it wrong.
