Title: Snowing
Post by: chocoboo on December 27, 2005, 10:13:42 am

Is it snowing anywhere else?  It's coming down here with big flakes.


I'm between Nottingham and Derbyshire bye the way.

Laid thick on the ground in Hastings E Sussex. Looks pretty, but pain to live with!

Yes, little village called Cossall, I doubt you've heard of it, that's why I was so vague.  We're about 1 and half miles from border as the crow flys.

What a beautiful part of the country.  We have driven through the area often on our way north.

Yes, it's really pretty.  Ann Hathway once slept in one of the cottages here.

We have loads of the stuff today. It has snowed on top of yesterday's lot. Max (the kitten) is looking out of the window in amazement!

It's been snowing all day and is now really thick. The sky looks grey so I bet we'll have some more.

We have snow here but no sooner does it lay then it melts. It went very dark about 1pm but a little brighter now.

The snow is lovely and fluffy here, perfect for snowballs and snowmen.  It normally melts quick but it's so cold today it might last a while.

Having spent the afternoon building a snowman, she has tonight gone out on the town with her friends! Talk about being between two worlds!

The snow came down really heavy this afternoon and we had a bit of a blizzard , so much that the Newcastle football match was called off. The gritters are out on the roads tonight.

Finally had some snow tonight here in sunny southampton - very light dusting though and has already started thawing


As far as snowmen etc. are concerned I want there to be enough snow so I can recreate the best scenes from Calvin and Hobbes

It snowed round my way for between 7 and 15 minutes and it didn't settle. Which is good.

This morning I persuaded my lazy 14 year old to go for a walk along the clifftop into town with me as it was nice and sunny.  We spent about 20 minutes in the shopping centre, then came out to find it had gone almost dark plus torrential rain.  We've just arrived home soaked to the skin (didn't even wear coats) and now he's not speaking to me!  Everything we bought is soaking wet too.

All the snow has gone away. The rain took it in the night.
