Guest Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 my school has been closed for 2 days now and im snowed in. Snow is knee deep. Quote
Inge Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 time to revive this one as those of us on the other side of the country get our snow... got up to a couple of inches, and it is now falling in great big lumps from the sky... did make it out earlier .. the beach is white! Got home to find the snow I had cleared had returned again only deeper... and need to go out to local shop but was hoping it would slow down a bit.. doesnt look like it.. time to dress up and brave it.. I don't worry about the snow, but the road is dangerous and no footpath- don't trust the cars! Quote
Panders Posted December 17, 2010 Author Posted December 17, 2010 Had quite big flakes at about midday, then polystyrene balls and now sifted icing sugar - must be coming down through many different temperatures up in the heavens - hoping it doesn't get too much this afternoon as we have our nursery do tonight at a local restaurant.

mundia Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Nothing here yet, sun is shining and no sign of snow...yet! Quote
bubblejack Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Just a slight covering of snow here in sunny Essex but its bitter cold. Quote
beth1 Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 It snowed yesterday from 9am until 2pm. I had a scary drive home up the hill home, normally takes 5 minutes but took 15 minutes, since half the roads didn't get (and still not been) gritted! I had fun driving onto the icy drive. Eventually had the courage to clear part of the normal drive and side drive to move my car onto the drive. Put some grit down which made it nice and easy for dad to get his car on the drive. Now this morning was FUN! No roads gritted until we got to the main road. I went to OT appoiment where my dad works, ermmm no snow in town (now who said live at the top of the hill? Came home, got off the bus slid straight into the metal bus stop hurting my already sore ear!!! Slid all the way home. Attempted to go out this afternoon for our xmas party but the buses dont seem to be running well. So came back home again! And to top it all off it looks like more snow is due! Good job we did the shopping on Wednsday night! Quote
hali Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 had some here and lots more expected tomorrow Quote
HappyMaz Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 had some here and lots more expected tomorrow I know! And I'm desperate to go and get my big boy from uni. Quote
sunnyday Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 A good covering in my corner of the world (sunny Kent)........flippin' freezing too! So pleased to say my Christmas shopping is finished, my fridge and freezers are full to bursting.....just need my promised heating oil delivery in the morning and then I will just hibernate! Oops just remembered - turkey to be collected on Christmas Eve and veggies to buy - oh well hopefully be gone by then! Quote
sunnyday Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I know! And I'm desperate to go and get my big boy from uni. Oh no! We crossed posts there - I now feel very guilty......I was a bit 'I'm alright jack' - not nice at all - I do apologise Quote
HappyMaz Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I was a bit 'I'm alright jack' - not nice at all - I do apologise Blimey sunnyday, no need to apologise! I'm sitting here in the warm watching daytime tv and keeping an eye on youngest son and his friend making an igloo on our driveway! Happy days! Quote
sunnyday Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Blimey sunnyday, no need to apologise! I'm sitting here in the warm watching daytime tv and keeping an eye on youngest son and his friend making an igloo on our driveway! Happy days! Phew! I feel better now! I got a bit carried away there - only because it makes such a change for me to be 'well-organised'! Quote
HappyMaz Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Welll I have to say you do sound very organised indeed! There is much I could learn from you, clearly! Quote
Inge Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I know! And I'm desperate to go and get my big boy from uni. Hubby just returned from Bristol and it was clear there, just a few flurries... he couldn't believe it when he came over the hill to the snow we have got here just a few miles south.. and it is still snowing heavily here.. we have all we need so will be staying put for the weekend... loads of logs for the fire...but need to get out Monday for Dr. and hairdresser! Quote
sunnyday Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) Welll I have to say you do sound very organised indeed! There is much I could learn from you, clearly! Well it is unheard of for me to be so organised - I think, having been 'caught out' by the last helping of snow - with bare cupboards......no bread, very little milk and absolutely no chance of getting anywhere - I have just 'tried harder' this time round - quite sure I will soon go back to my usual state of hopelessness! Sending all good wishes for 'safe trips' for all needing to travel! Edited December 17, 2010 by sunnyday Quote
Guest Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 We had wet snow between 9 and 12:30pm yesterday then the temperature fell so EVERYTHING set solid. All the staff cars were in a bad way and the paths were and still are lethal. Quote
Rea Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 A slight covering here, but really icy. I still havent been and bought the tree and now I'm scared to drive the van, side roads look like glass. Quote
JacquieL Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 It's falling thick and fast up here this evening. Quote
mundia Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 We finally have about 3 inches this morning. The chickens are really not sure what to make of it (although my hubby said 'a couple of snowmen wouldn't go a miss!') Quote
Guest Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 5-6 inches! Suppose to be going to a party in Newport later! This is the most we've seen for a few years Quote
Guest Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 We have about an inch this morning although more predicted to arrive between now and 3pm. However, not really expecting it to arrive as the met got it wrong last time round - sunny spells predicted and we got snow! However have asked mum in town to stock up on tissues and squash just in case Sainsbury's don't make it tomorrow! Quote
Cait Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 We've woken to a good 3 inches and a very grey- blue sky. We were forecast for clear sky and sunshine! Quote
Inge Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 another 4 inches overnight.. so now about 8 in total... so we are not going anywhere.. and it is the most we have ever had since we moved here.. an occasional dusting is usual.. well back to clearing the path! again! Quote
Rea Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 1-2 inches overnight but it hasnt stopped. Thick and fast and about 5 inches on the fence now. Still havent been to buy the tree and father-in-law needs soem shopping so its on with the boots. Quote
hali Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 we have about 5 inches now and still snowing Quote
sunnyday Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 We have about 5 inches now - it fell thick and fast yesterday afternoon! My heating oil didn't materialise - boiler running on fumes now! Keep telling myself 'it really does look beautiful' - not sure that I am very convincing though! Quote
JacquieL Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 I managed to get to Southport yesterday to see my parents on their 71st wedding anniversary. It was no trouble getting there by train, but once there there were no taxis and no buses, so I walked two miles to their house through snow a foot deep, and more where it had drifted!! It looked lovely but my legs are shattered today! Quote
