algy Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 This mornings 0600hrs TV news reported that experts? are saying that we should all build snowmen to help prevent flooding, the theory is that compacted snow melts much slower than loose snow thus delaying the thaw, surely for that to be effective we should not build the snowmen at the same time or at least build them of varying sizes!.

Cleopatra Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Well you have to hurry and get all those snowmen (and snowwomen - and maybe some kids for them too) built because the big thaw is expected at the weekend followed by more rain. Get your dinghies ready, get your snorkels ready, get your flippers ready. Or alternatively head for the hills. Build yourselves arks. The floods are coming!

Davy51 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 There was an article in last weekends paper though that said 10 " of snow only equates to 1" of rain, unless it is British Railways snow of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I recently had a great business idea: powdered water.It's very light, compact and easy to use. When you need some, just mix the powder with ... oh , forget it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hey my xmas tree is up again too and the sacks and mince pies are ready (we had some mincies left from 'last' xmas). I've sent the teenager to bed early and he can't wait for all his pressies tomorrow. I told him it's all your fault if he doesn't get any after all Mine will probably be empty as usual though but used to that At least we can say we've had a white xmas if the forecast is right again tomorrow and even if it's not there's still plenty that's not melted on the fields around Warrington.... snowman making tomorrow is on Happy 'xmas' Algy and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Dizzy, as I am old and slow (ref your post on my computer problem) will you please explain what you are on about ????? Victor.... I am not going to explain that to you and if you can't figure it out all by yourself there is clearly no hope for you at all Maybe Algy will tell you one day as he's nicer that me PS Cleo... Thankfully I have no actual real proof that he is indeed related to me in any way and I will kick and scream until I'm blue in the face and flatly refuse any sort of DNA test just incase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Victor, as I see it, Dizzy was refering to us having a proper white Xmas eve and was hoping for snow, which incidentally we have at this moment in time (2240hrs), however not pretending to understand Dizzy all of the time, I'm possibly totaly wrong. :lol: Happy Xmas - again everyone.

Dizzy Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Please don't encourage him Algy and if you find me hard to understand maybe Victor can come to your old mans grumpy club next week and you may appreciate and unserstand me more.
