Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th February, 2018

27th February, 2018.

OK, the Beast from the East … ?

Right now … ?

Right, my street has a light dusting of very light frost.

That’s lightly sticking around in the very light snow.

That’s not to say there’s not going to be problems.

Right now, parts of Kent are snowed under, Lincolnshire’s looking bad, and there’s sub-zero temperatures predicted for tonight, here in Essex.

Frankly?

The sooner this weather eases, the happier I’ll be.

*        Right at the moment, Debbi?   I’m going to have issues, I think.   The trains FROM work have cancelled, none of my family can do me a lift … and at least one taxi firm can’t guarantee it’ll be open long enough to get me home … !   Moving to somewhere sunny might be an idea.   How’s Southern California?
