Is British Snow Different?

Yahooo

Due to severe weather conditions, Yellowknife Airport (CYZF) is closed until further notice - Issued by the CAA 02/12/2010, 22:44z

Time to spark up the heater, grab my fishing pole and beer chest and hit the ice.:jump:
 
Sounds like the same snow we get on this side of the North sea! :wavey:

Only one inch on Monday afternoon and the whole country was stuck in traffic with almost 600 miles of traffic jams..
 
I bet a British Snow White would be different.

I'm going to think about her on my way home from work :snowman:

Yes, she'd be all nice and clean during the day, very pretty to look at and fun to play with.

Then come the night time she'll freeze up, stop you going out and turn into a right pain in the arse... :salute:

I do believe that British snow has a much stronger accent than the typical US snow. Minnesota snow, however, has a very strong accent and only people from Minnesota can under stand a darn thing it says.

No, she'd be clean, pretty and fun during the day but she would get bladdered with the Dwarfs on Friday night and spend the rest of the weekend feeling Sleepy (and Dopey).

When I was driving in Bavaria, it was common sense to have two sets of tyres!
Snow arrived at the end of October, so you put the winter wheels on...!
Maybe the pilots arriving at Gatwick should do the same!

It has been suggested aircraft wishing to use LGW (Airwick Gatport) fit snow chains to their wheels. Landings would be a bit bumpy, but Ryanair passengers are used to that. :icon_lol:

:d

I flew with Ryanair DUB-BHX a few weeks ago and the landing was hard...very hard. Boeing sure know how to design landing gear. I bet the pilot in command was an ex- naval aviator!!!!

Having said that the return flight only cost me €20 all in. :)
 
More snow today and sub zero temps again tonight!

Ever since it started snowing the wife has just been staring through the window non stop. If it gets much worse I'm gonna have to let her in.
