Tylers-mum Report post Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) Meeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! Thankfully we went shopping yesterday so got suppplies in. Pheww!! All school's here are closed so just as well T wasn't going in anyway as he was vomitting during the night. We have about 4-5" of snow on the ground which NEVER happens to us in this part of Wales. Mostly the valley's and the mountains are worst hit and we escape! The last time we had this much snow, I was a child and it's still coming down!! Anyone else snowed under this morning?? UPDATE, there have been 2 serious crashes in this area so far. One involving an overturned bus just 5mins up the road. Took these pics about an hour ago from my window. LOL Edited March 1, 2006 by Tylers-mum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

virtualvisual Report post Posted March 1, 2006 We're snowed in again The price I pay for choosing to live on a remote farm so the kids can roam without the risk of playing near cars I suppose. Their school is closed along with over 100 other ones in our area so I've now got 3 very hyper kids plugged into various games consoles all over the house. Not the best way to be but after having dealt with 3 arguments and a punchup before 7am it's the easiest way for my sanity. And to top it off DH has just rang (he's away in his lorry as usual) to ask if theres any chance of me relaying phone calls to drivers and letting his boss use our internet connection as they can't get anywhere near the office as it's up a long windy road that is completely blocked off If anyone needs me I will be in the middle of a field building an igloo to hide in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jb1964 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 We've had quite a fall of snow - although right now this minute the sky is blue and the sun is shining - although the school is closed today (so my daughter is well pleased) and some of the people I work with haven't managed to get in yet. It looks ever so pretty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jb1964 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 Fiorelli, I live about 16miles from Newport - and some of the people I work with have come from there this morning - I think it was quite bad earlier on but clearing off and on - and of course the gritters and ploughs have been out non stop.

justamom Report post Posted March 1, 2006 No snow here much to my son's disgust we all love snow but I dont like driving in the snow its scary with the black ice... I don't much like it when all the kids in the neighbourhood have snow ball fights because they broke my car window 2yrs ago and no one owned up and we ended up paying for it.... So now I am very wary but love the snow its gorgeous. Should snow tomorrow!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lisa Report post Posted March 1, 2006 We're in London so no sign of snow here , just freezing cold. We'd love to be snowed in (never having experienced it before!) and for all the schools to close. Staying at home, nice big roaring fire, sounds like fun to me!! Lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redberry Report post Posted March 1, 2006 Bloomin south east Londons almost tropical compared to the wicked weather some of you lucky lot are enjoying I WISH it would snow. I love IT My kids have grown to dread it, cos I wake them up v. early (sometimes) and make them put their wellies on and coats over pjs so we can go out and PLAY in the snow! Daughter is 19 now and has threatened to leave home if I do it to her this year tho. Son is only 8 so he doesn't mind so much! redberry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melow Report post Posted March 1, 2006 My lad was all dressed up for St David's day and then nowhere to go.... I had a very long winded letter from the head of his school about 'Health & Safety' concerns and that was BEFORE any snow arrived, this morning we had a few flurries, no school ! 9.30 am there was little or NO snow to be seen at all here, there was no justification for a day off, are today's school panicking over everything and making things difficult ? are they all soft ? and making our kids the same ? I HAD to go to school with snow almost up to my waist, I lived half way up a mountain, and there was NO excuse for being late either, or the school bobby would be there to haul you in. what next ? headteachers watching GMTV and the wittering witless there to see if it: Rains (A day off a child may get wet) Snows (a day off they child may get wet and put a snowball threw someone's window) Sunshine (A child may get sunstroke) Showers (Another day off, you never know). Aeroplanes flying overhead (They may crash on the school). The Health and Safety aspect in action......... ! We've had kids outside all day thoroughly enjoying themselves in the ROAD, so much safer there then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madme Report post Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) No snow in London that has stuck. Interested in Wales as my parents live near Newport where it had snowed yesterday andthry were looking forward to snow tonight. Children go to school in Kent and we had flurries which didnt stick.

Richt Report post Posted March 2, 2006 North Wales snow has been mad - sure we get it on the mountains all the time, and maybe once a year get it by the sea. Snow closed the schools yesterday, they all went in today and were sent home lunchtime, by 1700 it was bright sunshine and no snow. The Police are still saying "No unessential travel" Maybe it is global warming, if so, I'm celebrating - in 30 yrs my house will be on the beach - by then I'll have achieved my dream and not care any more! I was also surprised there were so many Welsh here. Cheers R Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
