Sue R Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 about three inches when I awoke this morning - and NO gritting!! Why don't they heed warnings? Sorry to be a killjoy, but I really don't like snow....... last year I fell and broke my foot - then got a snotty letter for having excessive time off sick (6 days, which Directors insisted on) !!

Guest Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 we ve had snow for a few days here in Northumberland and now have about 10 inches though not as much as some in the area , and its coming down thick and fast this morning . Looks like a day off for me as the early morning mindee s dad texted to say he been told not to go in to work and school is closed,i dont think others will travel . Most local schools are shut but council website has crashed with it being so busy so cant check latest . I live at the top of a hill and its impassable just now ,but will have to brave it later on foot as I need milk and bread ,but for now its a cupa and breakfast tv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublinbay Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 We had snow Friday night/Saturday morning. Temperatures of minus 10. 2 a.m. hubby fetches the guinea pigs inside where they'll remain until the temps drop a bit. Not much snow really but very slippery underfoot. Take care everyone.

SazzJ Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I'm Gateshead and there is no chance of me getting the car out and our local bus depot is closed too. So we are having a snow day and playgroup is closed!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueFinanceManager Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Bright sunny and very cold here in Lewes, East Sussex but no snow pleased to say (yes I know I am grumpy but I don't like it !!!!!) It has been cold since last week.....on Wednesday I took a perfect disc of ice off the bird tables water bowl and chucked it on the lawn.....it is still there this morning, the temperature hasn't risen enough to melt it. I go out each morning in my dressing gown with a hot kettle and top up the water so they have fresh unfrozen stuff. Yesterday afternoon when the water must have been cold I was amazed to watch a bird having a bath...must be mad! Take care one and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beth1 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 It snowed last night not much but our road is mainly cleared of snow. We are due some more snow tonight! So tomorrow will be fun watching people try to get to work in the snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Nothing here since Friday night, but its so cold its still lying there. Hope to goodness it doesnt snow more, it wouldnt matter except I have to get my father-in-laws meals and shopping etc to him and he's 2 miles away up and down couple of hills. Last year was terrible.

Rea Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 :wacko: Won't they chew it?! No snow yet in my particular corner of sunny Kent - but it is sooooooo cold - brrrrrr! I've heard they love rubber, but mine arent quite normal for ferrets so I doubt they will. Still wrap it up though so they arent tempted.

sunnyday Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I've heard they love rubber, but mine arent quite normal for ferrets so I doubt they will. Still wrap it up though so they arent tempted. Phew! That's a relief! Snow on and off yesterday and today - but thankfully hasn't settled! I might have to take out a mortgage for my heating bills - it's soooooo cold - I don't do cold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 It may be my imagination, but I'm sure I can see a flurry of very small flakes against the backdrop of the lamp post I can see out of my window... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 A covering in the south Cotswolds this morning - 1 or 2 cms. Is anyone else finding it too cold for housework at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beth1 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 It snowed up here overnight. Glad I don't have to trudge down to work in it. Plus it looks like more snow is on its way, its getting cloudy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 only a dusting again, but it is so cold... never so glad to have a log fire and lots of wood in store... inside is really warm, out never above freezing.. Inge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 It's times like this I wish I had a log fire again. I am so static, no one dares to come near me! Got an enormous shock which temporarily paralysed my wrist last night when I touched my laptop mouse pad. I'm after woollen jumpers - I wear too much acrylic. Having immense trouble finding some though that either don't make me look like a pensioner (apologies to any pensioners reading this) or a fisherman (ditto).

Inge Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I find it hard to find anything ion natural materials these days... everything seems to be acrylic or viscose... both of which I find make me static too.. and too hot as well! ( must admit those hot flushes to keep you warm!) Inge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Loads of the white stuff now! About 4 inches now and still snowing hard....... We opened this morning - but I'm thinking about making tomorrow a 'snow day'.......hmmmm...that's me thinking - have to stop that it hurts!

beth1 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Its snowing heavy up here. The buses are struggling to get moving on the main road! Looks like its here for the day. Soo pleased to be at home in the warmth, shame my ear is hurting even with the central heating and the fire on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its our day off today in any case, but the toddler group cannot get in for their session today and they set up on a tuesday afternoon - sooooo, I don't suppose we will be open tomorrow in any event, because all of their stuff will still be out. Must gather thoughts and ring round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Well its still snowing here in Northumberland we ve got over 12 inches now and its showing no signs of stopping .Have had no minded ones so far this week as they re all snowed in and would struggle to get up my hill even if they did get out from home .most local schools are shut though a couple of die hard head teachers have opened but even the high school closed at lunchtime today it was so bad. Have been trying to do some paperwork and some online training but the novelty soon wore off!! think its time for tea and tv !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Second day that I can't get into school (Travel from Rotherham to Sheffield). 10 inches fell last night on top of what had fallen Monday night and during the day yeaterday and its just started again, very dark outside. Nursery Xmas tomorrow but somehow dont think it will go ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Can't believe the 'Winter Wonderland' here this morning - we have a good 10 inches on the ground and it is still snowing hard! Pyjama day for me then! Sad really, we should be up to our knees in glitter and tinsel at pre-school........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Only a sprinkling here, a centimetre or two. Went into school yesterday with a brush and spade to clear my children's playground after taking on the school manager and her bloomin' 'health and safety' nonsense (well, going over her head really to the head teacher who was perfectly delighted to take me up on my offer). Have (hopefully) got a gang of parents turning up this morning as we will have to redo it. No closures yet though for either school or preschool. Some lovely animal footprints in the snow this morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
