Go figure. <br /><br />Snow tires should be required anyway, if you're going to drive on motor ways. It's obvious the weather patterns are changing. Don't you think?Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-84621445247010838062010-12-10T14:04:53.421-05:002010-12-10T14:04:53.421-05:00Coffee and a Book Chick: I wonder if it's snow...Coffee and a Book Chick: I wonder if it's snowing in Italy too. Snow in the Coliseum - nice. According to Peter's blog they close the parks in Paris (!?) when it snows. How odd is that?Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-21531958828893737762010-12-10T05:00:40.420-05:002010-12-10T05:00:40.420-05:00Yvette - We had beautiful winter scenes earlier in...Yvette - We had beautiful winter scenes earlier in the week (like the pic's I showed on my blog, which you can use here if you want). <br /><br />Our snow's gone, here in the centre of the country, but although it's thawing up in Scotland it's still causing trouble for motorists!<br /><br />The problem with the UK not coping with what might seem 'insignificant' amounts is that we get weather like that so infrequently that most drivers haven't the experience of road-handling/driving in extreme conditions, and very few go to the bother of using snow tyres etc.<br /><br />Also, being a small and over-populated island (close the borders for a bit, I say!) the roads are easily congested, so the gritting lories can't get through to treat the road-surfaces!<br /><br />Some places have had a couple of feet of snow - quite an unusual 'dump' for the UK, at any rate!SueHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394307650434614637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-58152270176005688972010-12-09T23:17:59.121-05:002010-12-09T23:17:59.121-05:00Ahh, I love those daily photo blogs!

I follow one that showcases a daily photo of Rome...I might need to really get going and move on over there!<br /><br />This picture is just beautiful with the deep golds and reds of the leaves amidst the snow -- love it!Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.com
