If you want to hide it the DA 40 LTD would be much better.

The big Sigmas are not good hiding lenses.

I did similar a few years back. Left Jeddah at midnight - 30C. Got to Heathrow in jeans and a t-shirt and it was -1C and snowing.

... and optical stabilisation which may be better than the in body shake reduction. A lot of lens for £750.

That's a fairly major vote of confidence for Canon.

Gritters are no fun when you are on a bike.

Barclays did the same to me with my debit card but didn't even have the decency to contact me.

I am just a bit younger and it is on the edge of my memory. We lived out on Dartmoor at the time and the snow drifted up one side of the house (about 25 ft). I remember Dad leaning out of the bedroom window with a bamboo cane trying to find the car. The water mains froze and we had to have water delivered in milk churns by the local farmer. We used to have a small tin bath and this was used to pour the water into (not with us in it). I remember playing with the chunk of ice in it.

Yes, but how many "minor annoyances" do you get in 50 years. They reckon that this is the worst we have had since 1963.

Very good.

Shorts replaced three weeks ago Gwyn. Fortunately I am ahead of the game at work so I can afford the time off.

BK - I know what you are saying, but these events are so rare (or have been in the last 20 years) that it would not be a good investment.

I probably could get to work if I was desperate, but I am not so it is not worth chancing it. In times past I have ridden a Ducati 900 12 miles each way on compacted snow, so I feel I have got the snow tick.
