I think because the UK isn't part of the Schengen Agreement....

for the customs, or the security ? i guess that could explain both... i don't know if there is a security check in on the Thalys (it's the eurostar which goes to the north : brussels, amsterdam...). anybody taken that and can answer ?

Last I heard, the BA strike was blocked by the High Court:

Not sure if there've been other developments.

And the Eurostar drivers have settled their dispute and called off the strike too.

that's a relief !

Snow (settling properly this time - but still far less than Slite!) and high winds here

Given how badly England copes with snow in the south, I'm hoping for a snow day tomorrow

Yeah, what Zelda said. You're a photographer, Am, so pull your finger out and push that shutter button.

Oh I will do!

I'm tempted to now, tbh, and I should be in bed!!

The forecasters are calling for more than 5 inches of snow starting late tomorrow night and continuing into Saturday, the very day we were planning to leave for a 17 hour car trip to Florida to spend Christmas with my parents.

It's been one thing after another with this trip which makes me think someone somewhere is trying to tell me to stay home. If I hadn't had Santa send all Ryleigh's presents to Grandma's house, I would seriously be considering calling the whole thing off. To be perfectly honest, I would much rather stay home for a white Christmas anyway but my parents are getting on in years so it seemed right to visit them.

Bloody, bloody, bloody, bloody well not fair! Snowing everywhere in England this morning except in the poxy North West! Watford, Plymouth, London, anywhere south of Manchester and you can make a snowman, but up here, no chance! No chance at all. Frost is all we've got. Lousy, rubbish, bloody frost!!!

Slite · 12-18-2009, 03:16 AM

-11C, around 25 centimeters of snow, slightly overcast. Looks like a day I would much rather have spent at home going out on walks with goggies instead.

If it's any compensation, it's not snowing here either:

ravenne · 12-18-2009, 04:07 AM

-11 C, argh, that's too cold for me, really! We planned to built an igloo using the snow in our garden, but it's almost too cold to do anything outside.
