Hey ho,

Looks like the last winter throng is upon us....
BBC Weather Warning

I love snow, the last really good dump of the stuff (Where I am) if I remember was 1995.. I mean such an amount you can really bound about in, people have to shovel their way out etc, such a long time ago.
I know we have spoke about Global warming on here and I am thoroughly believe the fact we don't get snow like we used to is a direct result of this. I remember almost every winter pre 1990's giving a good amount. :(

I won't get my hopes up for this though, it seems the Met Office are always eager to warn, which I guess is their job but they just build my hopes up as nothing ever materialises apart from a couple of CM. If it does this week, and if you get some, post your pics here, I will be incredibly jealous as I'm sure I won't get much. I think it is due to be more for the Midlands (Southern) and slightly North of London, so, good luck if you get it!!

We have been told we have no chance of getting it here in the north west, which pleases me becuase i dont like being cold and wet :lol:

Snow ia all very pretty when it's on a hillside and glistening and soft. It's what happens after that that i hate. It gets compacted and if the weather stays cold it freezes and you cant; walk down the street cos it's like ice. We had that 2 years ago and as they don't grit, it was rather dangerous and restricting. So if it snows, please melt and dont; bloody freeze over. :D

Mind you we had snow a couple fo weeks ago - melted by lunchtime.

We got a lot of snow :D

Us too....

I've got like at least 40 cm over here

theres about 6" of snow outside my door right now :D

Now you are all just rubbing it in aren't you!!! Grr.... To say its a very hilly place the Peak District don't get much snow these days, I have some, at least it started to fall when I was leaving for work but here in Sheffield, hardly any and its stopped right now... :(

We have a hell of a lot of snow here - between 8-10 inches i'll say...

I think my tennis lesson is off later ;)


What a load of rubbish global warming is, its funny how the global warming actuvists do go into hiding when the snow arrives... roflmao

SNOW!!! Finally! :yahoo: :party: :yahoo: :party:

:whistle:

"Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of Pauseping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"

:whistle:

I wondered what the 6" was then...

Snow ball Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! :D :yahoo: :yahoo:

Aims one at SW19...

SMACK!!!

The cul-de-sac, although the window I took the pic from seems to have obscured the rooves of the other houses roflmao

and to make things even better, SF is logging in roflmao

and probably found that yet another account was blocked roflmao

ooooo thanks for the snowy pictures WB they do look pretty. Snow here in sunny sussex is wet, slushy and muddy looking :rolleyes:

Well I'm in the North West, and I can currently watch the snow swirling outside my office window on the fifth floor ...

Welshboy! that is some seriously good snow you got there! You better be making use of it as I ain't got any hardly! :(

Throw snowballs at EVERYBODY on the street!

...sounds like a great excuse to head off home early before it gets any worse. :D Think we should all head for WB's home as he has loads of snow and we could have a serious days sledging etc. :D

*Fires up the 'magic limo' *

there's desford in all it's glory

:yahoo: we got lots of snow :yahoo:

so much so, I am not at work - hurrah!

mini Pebs gutted to find his school still open - says the teachers are horrible and wont let them have snowball fights :(

stupid health and safety rules...

Drive past Sheffield on your way Mo... Just a bit of a Detour!

I'll bring the Bolly!

just remembered discussing the possibility of getting snow with a teacher yesterday and saying to her

'I hope to get 7 inches tonight'

:blink:

really should learn to engage brain before mouth...

someone else who overheard me said 'you'll have to excuse her, its her birthday, thats why shes so hopeful'....

:blush:

That's off my "did I say that" thread roflmao

is that in there? I read that thread, maybe it was stuck in my head!

I honestly could not believe I said it - Lex said the blush I had melted the snow all the way over at his place!

Well Pebs I reckon I only got about 6 inches this morning so I'm jealous! roflmao

There's a lot more than usual here, it's lovely where you can crunch underfoot in the garden, but the disasterous thing is that the pavements are all slushy and very slippy and you cant; stand up! If ti freezes over we are stuck in or risk breaking our necks on ice as they dont; grit my road and it's looking pretty grim at the mo. :( In fact the idiots didnt; even grit round the town centre today, hence it being totally empty. The transport is all screwed up and load sof stuff closed again! My dentist had to cancel her appointments as she had to go pick up her kid form school. I dont; get why all the schools have to close and disrupt everyon :shrug: Is it H&S or something?

:rolleyes: ok. but we don't drive very much in the 'magic limo' you know......we fly. ;)

:rolleyes: poor ol me, got less than 2" myself :rolleyes:

:giggle:

We've had 0.00001mm in Blackpool :yikes:

We got snow in Hitchin (just north of London).

Here is our garden....



....and here it is after I decided to build something that had an equally high intellect as my intelligent self....

Productive day then Gav? roflmao

Probably more than when I am working ;)

Yeah, know what you mean. That's what I'm supposed to be doing now :whistle:
