Friday

Well the last couple of days have been okay. We had more snow on Thrusday, strangely I prayed for it to snow and then I prayed it would clear up on Friday, and we did have warm temperatures today. So the snow did melt, and it rained! Temperatures reached 3 C (37 F)! The Isle of Mull in Scotland was warmer though. They always seem to have warmer weather in the winter than anywhere else in the UK. That is because the gulf stream runs right up to Isle of Mull. Currently as I write this, it is 9 C (48 F)! Anyway I woke up at 6:30 AM and went online on my iPhone and listened to the radio for a while. When I got up I had bread and butter for breakfast and watched TV, then got dressed. I went to school and learned some interesting things. Anyway heres the most important and interesting part of this post. Thursday (yesterday) morning Dawn's nephew, Ian, crashed his car. He was okay, no he wasn't drinking and driving, he slipped on the road and went into the back of another car. Here are the photos which I took earlier today. I have edited the pictures so the registration is blocked out. The car is a 2002 Renault Clio.

Monday

Well the snow is almost gone over here, but it was warm today, temperatures at 2 Celcius (35 F). There isn't really any snow around, just black ice and sludge. Hopefully it will completely go. Before I get started I'd like to thank James who is advertising the website across Blog TV. James, if there is any way at all I can repay you, just say so. Today I woke up and my Mum left for work early, so I got dressed and watched TV. I watched Heartbeat on ITV 3 which is a show set in a Yorkshire village in the 60s. I switched over to the BBC News and it was snowing in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. It was really coming down, I then checked the weather and it was 0 C (32 F) and snowing. This worried me as Huddersfield isn't exactly a million miles from here! It is opposite Halifax and about 30 miles past Leeds & Bradford. Anyway I went to school and when I came home I watched Jeremey Kyle on ITV 2 (+1). He is a guy who sorts out family issues, it is filmed in Manchester. I also ate some chips and some chocolate. I was full by the time Dave came home from work. At least I managed to force down tea, I had pork chops and Yorkshire puddings. After that I listened to Skyrock and talked to people on MSN. Then I went to the running club, but discovered it was closed. So we came home and I listened to Skyrock some more and then at 7:00 PM I went in the shower. I enjoyed it. Then I put my pjamas on and listened to some music, at 8:00 PM I put 1Radio on because my friend is doing a music show on there, I am listening to him now as I write this and he is brilliant. 1Radio.org. I am thinking of doing a few slots on there, well maybe in the near future. It is currently 8:30 PM and he finishes at 9 PM, then Flashforward is on Five from 9-10 PM then I will go to bed. The webcam is currently up and viewing the Nuclear Power Plant in Hartlepool. Enjoy.

Snow is finally melting!

This morning I woke up and watched a couple of episodes of Lost (Season 2). I also ate some bread and butter, cheese slices, chips (crisps) and a chocolate muffin. I enjoyed it. After Lost I went in the shower, and heres what I do to save time. I brush my teeth while I am in the shower. After I was out the shower I got dressed and watcghed another episode of Lost. Dave and Dawn were out walking around the Seaton Carew area of Hartlepool. When they came back I logged on and have just been talking to Darryl and listening to Skyrock since then. Anyway the current temperature is 4 C (39 F) so the snow is melting quite quick. Bad news is there is more forecast tomorrow and Tuesday according to Google :( Usually the UK is mild in the winter because of the gulf stream, but that runs around the Atlantic. This is a snow storm from the Russian area of Siberia so the gulf stream is currently inactive. Last year we didn't have alot of snow, it was just rain. Oh well. Strangely, right now it is -1 C (30 F) in Paris, France and -9 C (15 F) in New York City. These are all locations which are all South of me yet they are colder!

Bad Weather

We are having alot of snow over here, it hasn't rained for a long time, just snow, none stop. I am sick of it now though and wish the rain would come! Anyway I woke up this morning at about 7 AM but was still tired so I went back to sleep and woke at 9:45 AM. I went to sleep with Classic FM on as well, but I didn't turn it on at 7 AM, it was on all night. Classic FM is a national FM radio station in the UK. Anyway after I got up I watched TV and then rang Dave at about 12 PM. After that we went to a cafe in Billingham Town Center and I managed to get a few photos and videos of the town covered with snow. At about 1:45 PM we left the cafe and went to Tesco. I couldn't be bothered to go because we had been the previous night (Friday). So I bet Dawn that I could make it home before they did and guess what? I actually won £5! When I rang Dave to tell him that I had made it home they went to Debbie's (Dawn's sister's) house to discuss going back to France in August, after I have left school. We will probably be driving there, instead of flying. That is good because my favourite radio station is a national FM station in France, it's called Skyrock and plays rap and r&b, both French and English. I did an update to the website today. The webcam is back! It will be up most of the time. The camera I am using is my old iPhone 3G (Yes the one I lost in York, and then that nice woman from Wakefield found it). It is great. According to Darryl, it actually captures the snow as it falls. I knew the iPhone cam was good but I didn't think it was THAT good. I will only be broadcasting the back garden, or maybe the view over the back of my garden. It is also mobile so I can broadcast in the car. If we do drive to France I will broadcast the whole 16 hour journey! We went to the cinema today at about 3:15 PM, it was CineWorld in Middlesbrough, and we went to see Avatar in 3D. That was also good. After that we went to McDonalds. We didn't end up getting home until about 9 PM. I went in the shower at about 10PM and listened to the radio. Now I am just writing about my day on my blog! I will probably go to bed soon. Before I do one last thing about the snow, it is about 5 or 6 inches in some areas of my town, if not more. Plus the weather doesn't really get warm over here until April. It's not over yet though.

Update

Theres been alot of cold weather recently in England. It has been snowing alot and temperatures reaching freezing. The roads and sidewalks are very icy and lethal. Oh, and my Dad bought a new car, its a Citroen C4 :) it has everything, cruise control, automatic window wipers, automatic transmission. Photos below. I apologise for not updating the blog but I am just so lazy. Oh, I have been making lots of videos lately, visit my youtube account, youtube.com/user/billinghamuk - People from my school are not welcome there!
