Who else has snow? We had a flurry about 30 minutes ago. :)
-
We have snow here. It has been flurrying for about an hour. More is predicted for tonight. It seems it may be heavy here overnight. I hope not. It makes walking to work so difficult. I end up walking on the grass so I don't slip. I have to wear boots but because they have a king of bow on the side, i can't wear them with trousers! Have to put my fur-lined walking boots on. Very sexy!
-
We had a light dusting a few minutes ago but it's all gone now. At least it encouraged a few more tits to go on my nuts.
-
Its been trying since last night and was a bit heavier earlier about 9.30ish but nothing has settled yet, the snow keeps on stopping.
-

Only you could say something like that .
-
Oh I see *blush* I never thought of that. I meant Great Tits obviously. They need to eat a lot in cold weather.
-
Have you got much snow now Lou? I'm told you should expect up to six inches during the night.
-
It's a long time since I've had 6 inches during the night. The snow did not settle here and now it is raining.
-
Awwww. It's dry but freezing cold here.
-
Yay!!!!!!!!!!! It's snowing here and there's some on the ground!!!!! First time in years for this area. (Not enough to cover the grass but I'm still excited, as you can tell).
-
Snow here was coming down in a funny shape when I was on my way home. It was more like a hale stine but the shape of it was like cone shaped or pyramid with rounded corners for about 2 minutes solid and that made the air very icy. I tried taking a picture on my mobile phone don't know what that is like as I have to empty my phone memory to the flash card in order to get it off, whooot!
-
Bristol is snowing at this moment in time.
-
inch and everyone stops moving!
-
I took one last night to see if the camera on my phone would pick up the snow that was coming down like hale.
Today I took a picture from my window looking out towards the BT building thats visible in the distance.
I must say that this is the most snow I have seen in the city and funny as lots of people complaining about the snow, its been grid lock on the road outside for the last 2 hours and the snow is still falling. It doesn't bother me too much, I grew up in the country so a little smidgin of snow like this is just what the doctor ordered, sorts the men from the boys, eh!
Fact I remember having to dig the drive and cars out because we had just over 6ft of snow over night and it was strange to come down to the lounge and open the curtains and see a small slit of light at the top of the window, now we get an inch and the country grinds to a halt!

That's what I keep telling him!

meh - the disadvantage of living in walking distance of work means that tomorrow I may be the only one in! :D

This is the most snow I've seen in Nottingham for years and years. To put his snow into some context: I was in Lapland in June. I had an email from my friend there and he says they have 3 metres of snow in some places. Whole roads just disappear. But you can drive across the lakes, so it's swings and roundabouts
-
I was impressed (and worried) at the number of people trying to drive into work. Major roads were generally ok, but connecting roads were pretty awful.
We're just not setup for such conditions in the South (apart from those with 4x4's). Mind you if this is the worst snow in 18 years then I guess it doesn't matter if things do come to a halt for a day or two. Enjoy it while it lasts (which won't be very long at all).

Check out this for ice :Icy Car (http://www.chocolatereview.co.uk/choctalk/index.php?topic=5846.30).
-
And today after it nearly thawing completely, I wake up to this...
I have been watching drivers trying to drive in it, funny as the F word.
Still this is more than the other day which has to be the most I have ever seen in 11 years of living here.

It's absolutely terrible here. Even though I live only a 15 minute walk from work, I was unable to go in today as firstly, the college is closed but secondly, I couldn't even go in and work on marking and planning as it is virtually impossible to walk on the pvements and roads. The city is almost completely cut off as the Fenland roads have deep dikes alongside them which are full of very deep icy water. Cars and coaches would slither off the roads into the dikes so many of the roads are closed. No buses are running at all. i haven't seen snow this deep for many years.
-
Woke up to lots of snow today. Not sure I can get out of my street.
-
Where I work is like a ghost town! And it's still snowing!
-
We had a heavy shower shower in the morning yesterday and it seems panic set in. The buses almost immediately stopped running, the schools closed and everyone worried about getting home. The snow reached an impressive depth of perhaps one inch (on the pavements, not the roads), then it started raining and had all gone by 2 pm.
-
Yesterday (Friday) it snowed for eight hours. It started at 8am and got progressively worse until, at 11am, we were in blizzard conditions. We already had six to eight inches of snow on the ground from the previous day so you can imagine how much eight hours worth produced. Some schoold opened but then closed again almost immediately. Chaos was caused by everyone in town trying to collect their children and head for home all at the same time. By 4pm, motoring-wise, it was a ghost town. No buses - few cars. However, all over the city, beautiful snow sculptures have been created - including a huge snowman in our beautiful Victorian park. Children and parents are out enjoying the snow (not much chance of sledging in the Fens though!).
This morning it is very icy but sunnny. It is predicted that we will get more snow on Sunday and Monday.
Hope everyone out there stays safe and warm.
-
Oldspice, it's probably not what you want to hear, but I'm incredibly jealous!
-
We don't have a lot of snow left here today and it is quite sunny. GC when did you last see a decent amount of snow?
-
I can tell you that precisely because the local newspapers keep going on about it - February 1978!
-
You need to come north .
-
PA has not had the usual amounts of snow we are used to, but I think they are calling for a few inches tomorrow and Thursday.
-
I take it PA is Philadelphia? Thankfully, the snow has vanished now and it's starting to feel warmer. I do like snow really, just not the ice.
-
We had another load of snow on Friday (today is Tuesday) and it just sat right on top of the shed loads we had over the week. However, Friday afternoon was bright and sunny as was Saturday and gradually all of the snow has gone.

Of course it is. Just you keep reminding yourself and you'll be fine.(http://www.bbc.co.uk/606/2/refresh/images/smileys/f_laugh.gif)(http://www.bbc.co.uk/606/2/refresh/images/smileys/f_winkeye.gif)
