Guest Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 no snow where I live but loads at school, so another day off I've caught up on school work, housework, and I'm off to do the shopping later, I won't know what to do with myself all weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Snowing here - though not where school is. I couldn't go in due to the snow, and only 30 children showed up so the school is being closed at lunchtime anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) Three inches this morning - worst it's been all week. Almost all the schools here are closed, buses not running, rubbish collections cancelled and some parts of the county are off limits to Ambulances. As for me, I'm finally having a snow day - have been keeping fingers crossed all week - and have been busy making a snow Mii!

beth1 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Well no more snow where I live. But the road I live on is very icy, so theres no way I can get the car out. I have walked out to the doctors/chemist this morning and I fell just outside my house walking across a tiny side road. Looks like buses for me today to get to college for 2 hours but very important work. No way I am not taking textbooks in this weather, I am having fun walking without a heavy bag! Anyhow must get ready to go out again. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Snowing hard here but not settling as ground is very wet. Apparently the surrounding villages are very bad though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvet Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 No snow here just lost of rain!! I was hoping it would snow so the children could play in it tonight and weekend as there school had stayed open earlier in the week when we did get snow and being less than a 10 minute walk away couldn't really not send them in!!

Cait Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Well we actually got outside in it! Not that there was much, just a dusting, but at least there were no tears today! We also had the exciting distraction of a lorry crane in the garden at the back lifting a boat onto the lorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaryEMac Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Playgroup and school were open this morning but it started to snow again at 10 ish and it was a steady fall. School started sending children home at 11 and we finished at 11.30. Some of the teachers have a fair way to go and the roads were decidedly dodgy. Me...? I walked pulling my Lakeland funky trundle which actually worked a bit like a snow plough and I had to keep stopping to dislodge the snow. The roadfs are not too bad at the moment but it talks of temps of -6 tonight. Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) How funky is funky though? I shall go and look at the Lakeland website... Not as funky as I was imagining - but a lot funkier than my tutoring trolley! Look here for the evidence!

JacquieL Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 No snow here which is good for the elderly but I want to be out sledging, making snowmen and making angels! My laptop is poorly sick as well and wont be back until sometime next week so I can't even console myself by spending hours on here. Using OH's PC for a few minutes.. dreadful thing and so slow.

Gezabel Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 The snow we had earlier in the week had gone by Wednesday/Thursday. Yesterday morning as we left for work it was raining quite heavily. About four miles on it turned to sleet and then suddenly and I mean suddenly it was this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) We still have quite a bit around been snowed in for the last two days.....it's been great !!

beth1 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 We still have lying snow which has now turned to icy but very icy to walk on. It is ment to snow more this afternoon/evening/night. Not looking foward to the walk to work tomorrow, just hoping I don't fall over. In this icy weather I keep falling over, so far I haven't damaged myself too much. Oh well looks like walking at the side of the main road (yes a main road!) to get to work tomorrow! lol Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are others on the market which work just as well, at differing prices... parents found them useful when travelling to icy areas, and kept some just in case.
