It's Snow Joke - Advice on Keeping Warm in Snowy Weather

Fresh snow across parts of the UK has caused further travel disruption.

Norwich airport is closed and police in Norfolk have reported 63 crashes on the county's roads since midnight.

Yellow warnings advising the public to "be aware" of frozen conditions and hazardous roads in eastern England and south-east Scotland have been issued by the Met Office.

Forecasters said the cold spell would continue until Friday.


It comes after about 3in (8cm) of snow fell in Norfolk and Suffolk on Monday morning, with parts of the East Midlands, south-east England, north-east England, south-west Scotland, Lothian and the Borders and Yorkshire and the Humber also affected.


Temperatures across the UK on Tuesday range between 0C and 4C but forecasters said sleet and snow could result in icy stretches overnight into Wednesday as surfaces froze under them. (Info from BBC Weather)

So here is Joy of Tights advice in such weather.
(1) Wear tights under your trousers.

(2) Wear sensible shoes

(3) Keep your arse from getting cold

(4) Have something warming to drink

No pants day

Monday (14th) morning saw the world's 12th annual "no pants subway ride" (that's trousers and the Tube to you and me).

Got her tube map if not her pants

Now it strikes Joy of Tights that just because you cannot wear trousers you should still be able to wear tights.

Preparing for no pants day

Now having tights rather than bare legs and no trousers would offer a number of advantages

• Some level of warmth
• Legs look better
• The more modest and easily embarrassed can still take part in the fun

 

Getting breakfast on no pants day?  But panties outside tights?

Staged by entertainment collective Improv Everywhere, the mission began as a prank between seven men and is now, in its own words, "an international celebration of silliness".  Now thousands of people in more than 50 cities across the globe take part.

But no one appears to wear pantyhose over their panties.  Perhaps in American pantyhose sound too much like pants. Or perhaps tights aren't really considered underwear.

No pants but prepared for a terrorist strike on the subway

Perhaps the idea of no pants day could be extended from travelling work to being at work.  Then you would have to wear tights just to look professional.

Hope the office is warm

Without pants in public

Furthermore, no pants day could be extended to socialising after work

Pint without pants

Getting down with others without pants

But remember being without pants all day may cause sexual arousal

And don't forget you spend the day without pants (trousers) not panties (knickers)
