I bottled it this morning... It started coming down at about 8, by 9 there was a good couple of cm and the road was white, so I took the bus. By 9.15, apparently, it was all gone- and I don;t leave the house usually till then

I like snow, but there's got to be enough to share!

On the other hand, sitting on the bus with my bike jacket and gloves on, and my wooly hat, and my polar buff... I must have looked like a freak, but I was lovely and toasty

Which bit of a polar buff is polarised? The bit around your neck or the bit stuffed down your jacket or the bit stuffed up your helmet or all/some of the above?

Just curious...

It's like a normal buff with a fleecy bit attached, really. But I cut it in half, it was ludicriously long, I just wear the fleecy bit- and I'll have the normal bit for when it warms up. A very good buy, I reckon. I've tried all sort of neck-things and this is the best so far.

The wife got me a polar buff rip off for £3 from wilkinsons. I have 2 regular buffs but have stopped using them now due to the cold. This one is great for £3. I think the proper polar buffs are around £15.

Aha, the picture is painted. Thanks chaps. If I could find one for 3 quid I'd have it but 15 seems like a lot of money at this particular time of year...
