30F since it started snowing with near blizzard conditions from 1100.
Local Primary School sent the kids home at 1230. Looks to be easing a bit
now but with the F4 to F5 wind and the snow being powdery it's difficult
to tell if it's just drifting or fresh stuff falling.

Very hard to say how much we have, probably the quivalent of two or three
inches but with the drifting depth goes from zero to a couple of feet...

I will go along with 'South East' and I have a very sunny 'South facing'
Garden.

OK?

Cowes is in the North. Freshwater is in the West. Bembridge is in the East.

OK?

Reference (depressing place BTW). That depends where you are in Lake and if
passing through it doesn't matter :-))

Kind regards

Mike

You can go along with what you like old chum, but Lake is on the east
coast.

For an alleged former sailor you seem to have a poor understanding of
the points of the compass.

True, my stay in Lake was only brought about by the traffic jam.
Although having just looked you up on the map I don't think I would
want to live so close to the railway line, and underneath it as well.
That embankment must block out the morning sun.

You are cordially invited to call and see me for a cuppa, or something
stronger, so you can correct your totally wrong impression :-)))

With Forelands in the East and St Catherine's in the South. Where would
South East be on your map? You know, where you have put the arrow?

Lake is approximately half-way between the northern and southern
extremities of the Isle of Wight, and faces almost due east across the
sea. That makes it on the east coast.
I don't propose to argue the matter further as long experience shows
that any discussion with you is pointless.
You have admitted that your claim to be on the south coast was wrong,
which is a small but important step in the right direction for you.
Keep up the good work, and watch out for the trains.

I don't propose to argue the matter further as long experience shows
that any discussion with you is pointless when you are correct and have
proved us wrong so many times.
You have admitted that your claim to be on the south coast was wrong and
corrected it to the South East
which is a very important step in the right direction for you as we all
understsnd that the truth always prevails, as it has this time.


Thank you

Keep up the good work, and watch out for the trains.


I do because they are quite some way away from me and hold no danger. In
fact they are one of the contributing factors as to why we like the
situation of this house. 10 Minutes from the beach. 3 minutes to the trains
and being electric they are soooooooo quiet :-) Very handy for the Post
Office, Shops and Supermarket and only a mile or so from either Sandown or
Shanklin. So handy for the many friends I have who visit these two towns to
pop in and see me when they are on holiday.

DO PLEASE pop in should you be in the area.

Kindest possible regards

Mike
