Time to put on the Peril sensitive Sunglasses @ Med is going to whip it out in the sunshine

It's not every day you get an offer like that.

Fortunately.

OK Boys, get your minds out of the gutter. You won't be able to FIND the gutter until sometime this Spring.

Just been watching on TV some stupid drivers trying to drive in snow by revving the engine and spinning their wheels  Probably have near bald tyres as well, don't they understand that gentleness in all inputs is key when there is snow and or ice around and also it is important to have good tyre tread to give grip

I hear stories of Round II already brewing for later in the week too 

[med6753]

As of 07:30 hours. It's not done yet. Winter Storm Warning still in place until 16:00 hours today.

I think the amounts exceed the last large storm 3 years ago.

Yes, something brewing for possibly Friday into Saturday.

I'd happily send you the 4 inches that dropped here overnight. Good thing I wasn't planning on going to work today...

   14.5ºC and sunny here in London.

Too bloody hot already

My subconscious tells me that any good vehicle should have a clutch    I own both stick shift and automatic vehicles.  The current truck is automatic.  I am jealous of those getting the snow ... so close but not close enough.  Over here, we need snow to prevent destroying skis on the rocks hidden underneath.  The snow is so thin that I was able today to drive the truck through the yard to the back door to deliver a new hot water heater; driving like that should not be possible this time of the year.  Later this week, I will be practising my soldering, but that skill will have little carry-over to electronics. 

EDIT:  but SWMBO will be happy to have the shower working again

As soon as it's daylight here I'll show you significantly much more than 4 inches. 

Picture of a HV probe?

First Yorkshireman: Nice out in't it?
2nd Yorkshireman: Aye, but put it away, someun's cummin'.

...What do you use for PCB creation?

I rub two squirrels together really fast until they explode, then use the result.

mnem
local resources, yo.

[bd139]

I can mail you a fat bastard squirrel for your PCB board antics 

[mnementh]

No thanks... we have more fuzzy tree rats than snow, ATM; definitely a surplus situation.

too much blood in my caffeine circulatory system... must reboot... somebody please kick the lever on my wheelie-chair...

Only a cool 12C here is sunny Chelmsford.

I have no idea if I'll ever make money on this thing, but I *had* to have it

You’d be surprised the amount some of HP’s logic analysis tooling goes for. The big analysers are worth SFA for some reason though

Oh, but I expect we will be on Round V of gutter talk by Friday or Saturday

I haven't had a compelling need to venture outside here yet, so I haven't.  That said, it looks like at least a foot fell in these parts - the drift on the garage roof outside the bedroom window is about 2 feet deep.  Skies are still a solid overcast, but I don't think the clouds are too thick as it's pretty bright out there.  Looks like the snowthrower and I will be getting a workout later today.

(And this is my fault - one night last week as I was drifting off to sleep I foolishly thought "Wow, this winter has been nice and mild so far - relatively warm, and no snow since December!"  The next day is snowed here and has been cold since, and now we have this.  Evidently my thoughts have triggered the wrath of the weather gods!)

That's because you're looking in an Official acronyms resource. You want UrbanDictionary, etc for this one. 

SFA: Sweet Fuck All.

Oddly, that was not one of the options

He's probably too scared to go and get a nice fat Toronto squirrel:
