    To be fair to HRH Sausage Fingers, isn't anyone who's not an actual architect kind of an 'architectural retard' by definition, on account of their not being actual architect?

    Getting to experience a more traditional north east winter this year, currently sitting through a blizzard as this blows through, roughly 12 inches of snow since midnight with another 6-10 forecast.

    No better way of starting your day than having to dig a pathway through the snow so the dogs can have their morning pee..

    It's been very snowy and cold all winter in Chicago. Actually really enjoyed it. I guess it helps we have a snow blower and I genuinely like the cold.

    It then shot up to 65 degrees last week only to be down to -9 and snowing today. Nothing like the North East right now but it keeps you on your toes.

    Chicago: Rough riding it.

    Revised forecast for today is now 24-30 inches, so far we’ve had 18 according to reports, and another 10 is forecast later in the week

    The dogs pee tunnel is now buried again.

    Fortunately the snow blower is primed and ready for action when it finally stops…

    Final score was 35 inches of snow.. only took 5 hours to clear my driveway and the 2 of my neighbors, there is a law here that you are supposed to clear the pavement near your house, given mine is currently buried in a 10ft pile of snow (courtesy of the town ploughing the street, including a JCB digger picking up and dumping snow that had nowhere to go) I can confidently predict that’s not happening. Snow mountain

    That sounds simultaneously ace and horrific at the same time. We are the same. If there is ice or snow then we have to clear it otherwise we could be help liable for any accidents. Bit rubbish but I suppose rules are rules. I hope you had some decent tunes on your headphones as you cleaned up that mess.

    Also where's the picture of the snowman. you've got to have a snowman. You probably won't get that much again. must say 3 feet of snow is pretty amazing. Can't say we have had close to that. Might be a blessing as I still have to work 12 miles away.

    Chicago: Impressed.

    I can't be the only one singing the Mr Plough song.

    Loving the turn of weather here in the UK. Forecast says it might get up to 14° tomorrow.

    Is that the British English version?
