Looks like we traded one lovely weather trait for another one.

Looks like you spoke too soon CP, it's snowing here in Durham. More off-piste skiing for the lad & dad today

Yep, looks like I did speak too soon with my previous reply - complete white out blizzard coming down now with quite some effort!

edit: and too soon again. It's now a bright sunny winters afternoon with a blue sky.

I can has weather-related confused.

It's snowed a bit here, hasn't put much down but, as its so cold, the sledging hill has got progressively faster all day. Kids schools look like they are going to be open. fingers crossed, so maybe I'll get a peaceful day snowblading on the hill
bugger going shopping we've got enough stuff in the freezer

Got about a foot now.

took me an hour to drive 3 miles to Morley (work) this morning Forecast is for much more snow in West Yorkshire tonight - get that rocksalt down folks!

We had none until today.
Blowin the arse off ya with snow now. We have a couple of inches down I would say..I miss summer already

Just walked only about 400 yards to the shop to buy a few things and back again.

Saw two cars who'd given up at the side of the road, one having a gentle bump into another and numerous with rear wheels spinning to no end at all.

This is one of the main roads that runs all the way from Gateshead to the coast so I dread to think what other areas are like tonight!

My humble thread has 3 pages! Had to walk home from work tonight,buses cancelled blah blah Took me nearly two hours,snow is about a foot deep,hard work for a 43 year old with bad arthritis.Bought a half bottle of vodka about half way home,to ease the journey!

Splendid idea on the booze front Sir!
I, on the other hand asked for today off when I was in at work yesterday, then stocked up on enough booze and fags to see me through till Thursday on the way home. I don't work Wednesdays y'see

Started last night and its still going strong now so you can imagen. Had to go out today too, but got stuck with wearing huge chunky shoes (Did rather well I felt)

I'm "Working from home" again today.

I daren't even try moving the car; I'm scared I'd start sliding and not be able to stop when I reach the main road at the bottom.

sitting in your thermal underwear then mate?

Central heating on, sitting fully clad, plus a cardigan, a jumper, and a dressing-gown, and I'm still shivering.

I don't do cold

Ooh it's snowing again now.

This much so far


& it's still coming down

It's peltin' it doon!

it seems slightly worse up here...It's going to take the missus days to dig out her car

It's getting deeper...

(The view from my front door )

The dull Midlands gets left out again.

I know. That all fell in less than two hours, and it's still going strong.
