Yer hopes are dashed. Can confirm Charon's team is in! Charon v Sean, then.

^ Aye, Linda Nolan.

A better hospital?

RIP - Cryne, Elias, Miller, Nevin, Stokes, Toothill (obit?) Probably Locks - Blanco, Brackers, Lynott, Stefansson Likely Lock but Obit Worries - Anzaki, Goodwin Dunno tbh? - Cappotelli, Frates, Gilbert, Jowell, Lewis, Lima, McCain, Piddington

Yes, you'd qualify with a team in. Which would make you Mr Jammy Sod (Cup Edition), really. Hopeful C will get a team in though.

Only teams left to come in are Charon and DDT. Hopefully not randomly hit by weather.

Aye, the wind was ridiculous. Never seen anything like it. 2010 was colder, but the snow was in one place. Blizzard-esque out there earlier.

Yeah, ok, it is actually nuts out there. Most snow I can recall in my lifetime, and it sounds like the schools are off tomorrow and even Friday. Even if it's not snowageddon, it's clearly more than your normal, so well done Deathray for pointing it out.

Norman Lloyd IS American, unless New Jersey got annexed when I wasn't looking.

Jealous!

"Dad! Dad! Let's go outside!" "No, not now, ask your mum." "She said to ask you!" "Not now..." (Wean does the Mrs Doyle impression ending with: "I'll give you some crisps!" "Give me a second. Hang on... what crisps?" (Wean puts on innocent face) "The crisps you're going to buy when we go out in the snow!" Snow's about one foot and a bit outside, which is still the most I can recall since 2010 at least.

Well, what do I know? They've closed the bloody schools. Deathray 1-0 msc

He's a he! Currently the oldest living leader of a European country.

PS Before my time, but looking up his history, YWillz or Charon might have memories of his double at Hampden which likely meant Spain qualified for the Euro 76 Quarters, instead of Scotland? Only got 8 goals for Spain, and 3 of them were against Scotland FFS!

A significant heart attack? Given he's dead. Anyhow, came on as a sub in the 82 World cup in the famous match Northern Ireland beat Spain 1-0.

And Marieke Vervoort has 25 and 1/2 hours to live to see 1st March in Belgium.

Even now, when it's a bit heavier, it's not lying on the ground. Fuss about nothing. Council just excited because its the Nats now and they've never had a snow day whereas for the previous 30 plus years it was Labour council and their "you''ll have had yer snow" policy.

And right as Deathray says that, apparently the council are considering a red warning for tomorrow and shutting the schools if it gets worse overnight. Doesn't look that bad to me...

Deathray's snow has arrived here. Though it's not very strong.

Peter Miles has died aged 89, according to his official twitter account. Here he is in happier times, as leader of a group of Nazis who ordered the creation of the Daleks in Doctor Who! Also seen in Z-Cars, Sweeney, Bergerac, the whole 70s/80s TV lot...

Sent out reminders to the one or two teams left without Round 2 teams (though I expect most of them to come in tomorrow, just being polite...). The Round 2 masterlist needs to wait till close to the deadline due to the number of close ties, so might be a wee bit after midnight on Thursday morning.

Centrimetres? But height was in feet, and it's the height of the snow being measured?

That'll be a sad loss if so. Beyond Bond: Sink the Bismarck, Alfie, Carve Her Name With Pride, Educating Rita. Hell of a CV.

^ I've seen the team. #prayformsc(orwormfarmer)

Glasgow doesn't get snow that much (more in the last year than in my lifetime, pretty sure) but we did get a good 2-3 foot of snow at one point in the late 90s and the schools remained open. Hah, I looked out the window there to be greeted by the most half-assed snow you'd ever seen. Bright clear skies ahead, and just two clouds barely emitting a few flakes. In fact, in the time taken to describe how pathetic it looked, it's turned into rain.
