The official winter 2015/2016 snow thread. (Ahem...)

We just had some horizontal sleet. It's rain again now though.

Widespread dumping is a possibility.

Sounds like the morning after a heavy night on the kebabs.

Next year's thread will be called "The official Jim x3 has snow thread"

I'll get it prepared now.

How about the 'Jim has shoveled a foot of snow off a 4 car drive, is sodding feeling it and knows he'll have to repeat the effort in about 4 hours' thread.

Don't people in the US have flamethrowers and napalm grenades for that sort of thing?

Light dusting in Lincolnshire.

I head north west to work and the closer I got, the less snow there was.

Amazing how some people drive in these conditions though. I have seen the usual erratic numpties driving as if it is a hot summer day. I've also seen the idiots driving with windscreens frozen up and bits of snow right in their faces.

Weirdly, quite the opposite. Yes, there's an armed Humvee on every street and a pickup with a .50 caliber mounted in the rear parked at every checkpoint, but it's just business as usual. We had to take a B6 armoured car with full cp team from the airport to satisfy work, but we've been moving about town very freely in a soft skin minibus and only one armed psd from the MoI for the rest of the week.

Speaking with our partners here, there's no way ISIS will get anywhere near Baghdad, so everyone is pretty relaxed. The iraqi's are some of the most hospitable people I've ever met. We've seen all sides of town and have been to some amazing restaurants and enjoyed some of the most incredible food!

I thought you worked in the weather industry. Was I wrong?

Or can you not tell us what you do?
