    Was going to go shooting today

    Went to the car, it said minus 6, still a good covering of snow, bugger that. I'm either getting old or getting wiser, walking round the farm half frozen, not anymore. Made a cup of tea and come back to bed

    We only see snow on television down here, don't know what all the fuss is about. Only problem is Santa's sleigh cannot operate. Blue skies this morning and just a light frost at 8 a.m.

    Dropped my son off to the school bus stop at 06:45 this morning.. couldn't open the back doors of the car... frozen solid, and the road was an icerink. 4x4 button helped
    My kids built a snowman in the garden on Sunday - it's now frozen so solid, it should still be here for Xmas..
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    had a look at my permission the other day as i was passing by with the wife .never saw a thing other than crows and with it being open on that permission the cros are hard to get close to. the road that leads to my permission is normally covered with rabbits as thy are used to cars passing by and even people to a degree as there is a cemetery at the top of the road and again there was none there ,so they must be down below keeping warm .

    more sense than some of us

    mind you it was -3 when i was looking at the permission.

    That is exactly what I did last Sunday. Woke up at 7.30 had everything ready, went downstairs to have a cup of coffee, had a look outside and went back to bed. Even last year this would not have happened.

    summink wrong with you bloke. i went out in freezing fog at 2 in the morning and came back with six bunnies and a bonus hare. a shot at a fox but its my favorite. follows me everywhere waiting for free dinners.
    the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.

    I'm with you on this one. Tend not to go hunting in -degrees, apart from it being uncomfortable, I feel a bit sorry for wildlife in extreme conditions, apart from shooting two rats in the back garden nicking bird feed this week!
