billabong Report post Posted February 2, 2009 "And tell me, what do you like best about the forum?" (These are justified '"'* by the way. * speech marks in inverted commas if you couldn't tell). "It's the fact that everyone seems to love SNOW" Yee-hah! Love it, love it, love it. DH told me I was like an excited puppy this morning (only I didn't do what excited usually puppies do ... but not far off, no, let's delete that bit). Big mistake for employer/great for me, having my own little office with a big window. Think it's turning to sleet here but more snow forecast for later in the week. Bounce bounce bounce!

jo4themo Report post Posted February 3, 2009 It snowed nearly all day here yesterday but it didn't really start pitching until 5ish. Still snowing heavily at 10pm (I went for a walk in it then as hubby was back from work). Kiddies all went out in it this morning but it's quite powdery so no snowmen I went out and had a snowball fight with my youngest daughter and her friends though!

Kathryn Report post Posted February 3, 2009 My school is shut, my daughter's college is shut and my son's school is shut. And the sun is shining. And the snow is still deep in the park outside. K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mumble Report post Posted February 3, 2009 The huge pond in St James' Park was totally frozen over - never ever seen that I was a bit worried about some of the ducks though - either they were doing a very good impression of 'stuck' or they were half frozen into the pond. Some of the "I hate snow" students gave me a good giggle today - we had notices up saying uni was open again so they had to go out and walk down the hill - but they insisted on wearing their high heels One student went out in white trousers and got slushed by a passing lorry I know I shouldn't laugh, but they find it amusing that I don't dress fashionably and do dress appropriately for the weather, so sometimes it's nice to be the one who gets to laugh for a change.

smiley Report post Posted February 5, 2009 Am Fed Up With The Fluffy White Stuff....................... I lurve a good ol' snowball fight as much as the next lunatic person........... but telling me at 8.10 that schools shut (we have to leave at 8.15...) does not make for a happy little monkey... Am going in the garden to catch snowflakes on my tongue............. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tally Report post Posted February 6, 2009 It started snowing here late last night and snowed most of the night while I was at work. We have about 2 inches now and it's still snowing. It's not nice snow though, it's all slushy and dirty. Nevertheless, the Highways Agency have banned all our depots from letting wagons out, so we had no deliveries and eventually got sent home early! I was outside in the yard when the snow plough came steaming round the corner and about 40mph and splattered slush everywhere. The driver was obviously having a good time anyway! The M5 is shut and the Store Manager phoned at 1am to say he still wasn't home and wasn't going to make it in for 6 The phone was ringing all night with people saying they can't get in. Hopefully the customers won't get in either, as we have no stock! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
call me jaded Report post Posted February 6, 2009 All open despite flurry this morning. Now I have my third child off with norovirus. Be lucky if he's back by Monday. Bless him, he's coming to my office with me on the understanding that he can sit on my knee while we have our meeting (awww). Hurray for an all-female workplace!

oxgirl Report post Posted February 12, 2009 We made snowmen on Sunday and they're still there!! Can't believe that after all this rain and sun we've had in the last few days, they still refuse to die. Granted, their heads have fallen off, but still! What will it take to kill these guys! They'll probably still be standing staring at us defiantly in August! ~ Mel ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diane Report post Posted February 12, 2009 We have not got any snow snow it has all gone. What we do have instead is FLOODS! I just love driving through them. I have to go the long way round just so I can drive through them. EXCEPT! the men from the enviromental agency came to our village and pumped the water back onto the flood plains and into the river and even unblocked the drains. All my fun has been spoilt. That's health and safety for you. Spoils everyones fun. No more tidal wave making for me, or snowman making or snowball throwing, freezing cold and numb feet and fingers. Oh how I miss it all.

bid Report post Posted February 12, 2009 Been snowing again here heavily since the afternoon!! I tried to get into work but had to turn back as the car was sliding everywhere! YES!! What a result! I've just done 4 nights, then stayed on in work this morning for a very upsetting emergency meeting about a child, and didn't get home until 11.30...so I'm just so glad I don't have to work again tonight!
