You're welcome to it Steve I hope it stays up there. The only snow I like is the skiing type.

[stevewool]

well its all gone now but i did manage to get a snowball fired at Ems this morning before taking her to work

[les_taxi]

To be honest I hate playing your lot-they always raise their game against us,if they could only muster that fervour against other teams they would be a force to be reckoned with:smile:

[WhiteBloodAda]

None here :(

[grahamw48]

None here yet, but forecast.

Damned nuisance when you're trying to drive around for work. :NoNo:

[Michael Parnham]

This is another reason I came back to the UK, love it:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Terpe]

Clear blue sky and sunshine here.

Maybe the calm before the storm :icon_rolleyes:

[Ako Si Jamie]

To be honest I hate playing your lot-they always raise their game against us,if they could only muster that fervour against other teams they would be a force to be reckoned with:smile:Yup, its teams like Stoke etc that we don't do well against.

[Ako Si Jamie]

The Met Office and BBC weather have a different forecast so it's anyone's guess what's gonna happen.

[jake]

[grahamw48]

I suppose we're lucky.

I heard that in Moscow it's so cold that the street walkers are charging £10 to blow in your hands. :smile:

[han]

:wink: :wink:
It is snowing here now.. 5:20pm just started, i'm :smile: :smile: still excited to see it-
However, almost all the people I know here in our village, they don't like it anymore :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

[grahamw48]

I can appreciate it must be pretty amazing to experience for the first time.

My kids loved it. :Jump: :icon_lol:

[stevewool]

i can remember when Ems saw the snow for the first time, outside she went in dressing gown and my shoes, she look like a big kid, but then again i love seeing the snow

[Ako Si Jamie]

Just started here. :Help1:

[Ako Si Jamie]

Well, that didn't last long.

[stevewool]

Well, that didn't last long.

[Ako Si Jamie]

Who Cares United 2-Liverpool 1 :icon_lol:

Do you want to edit Jamie :icon_lol:

[Slip]

No snow here, but when we had the last cold few days my car battery died. I put it on charge and went out and bought a new one. The new one has been in my boot for 6 weeks now, I have a feeling I may be changing the battery at 5.30 am tomorrow morning!

[Arthur Little]

:anerikke: ... it's been :36_1_26[1]: throughout most of the day up here in Central Scotland but, for all that, showers have mainly amounted to sleet, making conditions very damp and unpleasant underfoot. :doh

[sars_notd_virus]

we got flurries this morning :anerikke:

[Arthur Little]

Slight covering overnight ... mostly turned to slush now. :icon_rolleyes: Ugh!

[imagine]

Well for us this morning was so much more snow than forecast.
Took us an age to get ourselves to the main road in the car.
As we drove East towards Centre Parcs it got clearer. But now we're here it's snowing real hard.

Been to Wales and back in the snow today although it took me longer to go four miles on the ring road in Birmingham than it did travelling back from Wales. Traffic was horrendous. Total gridlock. :icon_rolleyes:

[grahamw48]

I've been out and about too (A1/M1/M62), but made sure I shot off home early before the even worse than normal Friday night chaos started. :icon_rolleyes:
Also made sure I got my shopping done late last night....no burgers in Tesco. :Erm:

Been snowing here in York for a while now, but I'm in for the weekend and the car won't be moving anywhere. :smile:

[Dedworth]

Post Office / Royal Mail an absolute disgrace here.

Got my wellies on and trudged up to local sub P.O at 4.40 with a couple of recorded items to meet 5.15 collection. Lady behind the jump said that as of 2pm our local delivery office in town (what used to be called the Sorting Office) had packed up and gone home no more post was being collected from the subbies and Post Boxes. Same goes for the main 8 counter or so Post Office in town they shut up shop at 2pm. It gets more like the third world every day. Whatever became of serving the public and getting the post through.

Mrs D is a Nurse - good job I'm around to take her to work at 2pm and pick her up later tonight

[grahamw48]

Wonder how the stay-at-home workers would feel if they had to go down to A&E and THEY had locked up and pissed off home ? :NoNo:

[vernier caliper]

What a cool experience at Danesfield Hotel & Spa...virgin snow!
77237724

[grahamw48]

One for the folks back home. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Terpe]

Well it's been snowing here most of the day.
I attempted to get to the main road and made it without too much difficulty. Then discovered that the main road was covered in slippery white stuff.

Wot no gritting ?

Went back home, no provisions today.

I cleaned snow from the car twice. Estimate about 4 - 5 inches today and it's still snowing.

Tomorrow's going to be a nightmare for those round here who decide to venture out.

[han]

Been days now ... me and our yorkie still enjoying it :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Cos....who knows ? :biggrin:

I do agree :icon_lol:. Maybe Arthur could explain further what he has thought and later convince our innocent minds:grosyeux:

[Arthur Little]

Yes, sure thing ...

... :sorry-2:, Rose ... I'm just one of those [? irritating] chaps that finds it difficult to pass up an opportunity to indulge in 'a little' bit of wordplay.

[Arthur Little]

'a little' bit of wordplay ...

......... :yeahthat: ... there you go ... I've done it AGAIN (with my name); some folk find puns fun :icon_lol: ... while others don't! :bigcry:

[grahamw48]

Snow harm in it Arthur. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Dedworth]

Woman, 25, found dead in her neighbour's garden after collapsing in snow 'as she walked home from night out without winter coat'


Kent police believe death in Deal was 'tragic accident'
Bernadette Lee was found collapsed by a dog walker
She was in the garden of the property next to her sister's home
Miss Lee, who was staying with her sister, could have slipped after night out
A Facebook site set up in her memory described her as 'truly loved'

Yesterday whilst waiting by Marks & Spensives back door watching the snow fall I saw a stupid bird run out to her nice little VW Golf GTI parked in the disabled space wearing a skimpy see through top, knee length leggings, ballet shoes.

I hope she broke down or careered off the road on the way home

[Steve.r]

Just to add a bit of balance to this cold thread, here is a photo of me and my wife and son a few days ago. I have since returned to a cold China. :freezin:

Awww....lovely picture Steve. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Yeah...bet you were delighted to be going back to the cold. :wink:

[vernier caliper]

.. :sorry-2:, Rose ... I'm just one of those [? irritating] chaps that finds it difficult to pass up an opportunity to indulge in 'a little' bit of wordplay.

No need to apologise Arthur. You did not say any harm and tbh, I do like your comment. My mistake that I did not explain what is AMALAYER. Your wife might have a clue, it's a pseudonym given to a girl in YouTube who lied. So when I said: I'm virgin and AMALAYER it means I'm virgin and I'm a liar :biggrin:

[Arthur Little]

No need to apologise Arthur. You did not say any harm and tbh, I do like your comment.

Phew ... I'm glad you took it as good fun and liked it Rose ... :thankyou:

:smile: Thanks too, for your explanation of the word, AMALAYER. That's what I thought it meant, funnily enough ... and I can see you're like me in ALSO enjoying wordplay. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[vernier caliper]

I can see you're like me in ALSO enjoying wordplay. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Im learning from Trefor coz he use to call me silly billy, silly sausage, banana or trouble and strife. What a sweet husband I have :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:. Those are his punch line whenever I find his joke corny.

[Trefor]

Hey ... I only used 'trouble and strife' once - after this it became obvious that Cockney rhyming slang was too complex :icon_rolleyes:

Alas ... not in OUR "neck of the woods", Jamie :nono-1-1: the confounded stuff's arrived here with a vengeance now ... and it is STILL falling thick and fast! :doh

[Arthur Little]

8 degrees on Sunday :smile:

Oh, hopefully ... :pray:! Although ... too rapid a thaw :bigcry: would be bound to bring severe flooding to many parts of the country. :doh

[Ako Si Jamie]

Alas ... not in OUR "neck of the woods", Jamie :nono-1-1: the confounded stuff's arrived here with a vengeance now ... and it is STILL falling thick and fast! :dohWe had a weather warning for late afternoon and early evening for snow but nothing has materialized.

[Terpe]

We also have a snow warning for tonight/early morning.
Just waiting :cwm25:

[grahamw48]

Snowing here, but apparently all going to thaw tomorrow. Good !

[stevie c]

Here in Essex we have a weather waning of snowfall for between 9pm to 7am I hope I don't materialise the damned stuff :NoNo:

[stevewool]

snowing again here in derby, but i love it, its thick and sledging tomorrow if it settles, she would like 8 inches she says,

[Michael Parnham]

Eight inches of what Steve? :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:

[stevewool]

i was waiting for the comments, SNOW, but there was a twinkle in her eye

[Michael Parnham]

It's just started snowing here and doesn't look like it will be as deep as that.

Looks like another morning when someone says "what happened to that 8 inches you promised me last night" :biggrin:

[stevewool]

it would be nice to have someone say that to me in the mornings rather than can you take me to work its 6.15 am :NoNo:

[grahamw48]

Huh...chance would be a fine thing. :cwm3:

[joebloggs]

my misses just left for work, 5 mins later shes just phoned me to tell me shes stuck going up a slip road with 2 other cars and late for work :doh

[Ako Si Jamie]

Looks like its raining here.

[grahamw48]

Blimey...about another 4 inches since I last looked out the window. :cwm24:

[stevewool]

well just got in from taking Ems to work the roads are deep with snow and ice under that too, just be careful out there :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Terpe]

Eventually the snow didn't last here.
A couple of inches max. No probems so far.

[les_taxi]

Snow wont be here for long! tempretures shooting up over next couple of days, 12c by monday:xxgrinning--00xx3:

what a beautiful day so far, its a pity Ems is at work, be great to be out together

[Michael Parnham]

Been walking early this morning Graham and it was beautiful as the sun appeared :smile:

[grahamw48]

It's melting here now, but I did have a laugh at this pissed up bloke staggering home up the middle of the snow-covered road last night....with a queue of cars behind him. :icon_lol:

[stevewool]

what about all them poor drivers stuck on the M6, its a joke really, only in this country it seems

[grahamw48]

I think a lot of it is down to crap drivers, and selfish ones (that abandon their vehicles in the middle of the road for instance :icon_rolleyes:).

It only takes one or two to screw it up for everyone.

I've been driving all over the country for a living for the past 40 odd years and never got stuck...when it has been worse than this. :NoNo:

[stevewool]

indeed all it takes is for the one driver to either go too slow or too fast ,

[Ako Si Jamie]

We've had rain overnight and the pavements are like ice-rinks :cwm25:

[raynaputi]

the sun's out here in Denbigh, shining so brightly..blue sky and no sign of snow or ice! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Arthur Little]

:sunshine: here in Perth ... blue skies ... but still snow on the ground and :freezin:

[Arthur Little]

:olddude: ... ashamed to say, I haven't been over the doorstep this week at all! :NoNo:

[Terpe]

No rain here yet but temperatures way above freezing and the snow is really melting away fast. Amazing how quickly it goes.

[Ako Si Jamie]

It felt a lot warmer when I went out earlier.

[Dedworth]

Dry, bright sunshine until half hour ago, 6 degrees. You can keep the snow/ice up north

[Terpe]

Looks like I can get back on the cycle route tomorrow.
Haven't been on my bike for week.

[imagine]

thawing here overnight and today:biggrin:

[Arthur Little]

Looks like I can get back on the cycle route tomorrow.
Haven't been on my bike for week.

:xxgrinning--00xx3: ... "on yer bike", Peter! In the nicest possible sense of the phrase, of course! :smile:

:icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:
Thanks Arthur, looks like i'll be in luck. Been raining for about 3 hours already, not so hard but enough to get rid of all the snow.
I was lucky that I bought some mudguards for my bike so I'll be off tomorrow regardless.
Loking forward to that.
I'll take a trip all around my local reservoir.

I'll need a good bath when I get back :icon_rolleyes:

[Ako Si Jamie]

Snow's gone from the grass. Just the hard icy pavements left.

[joebloggs]

my misses just left for work, 5 mins later shes just phoned me to tell me shes stuck going up a slip road with 2 other cars and late for work :doh

the motorway agency people had to push my misses car 100+ meters up the sliproad:icon_sorry:, it was so bad she didn't go to work :NoNo:

and the car went :crazy:, displaying run flat indicator, abs fault, dtc fault, brake fluid low :yikes:

she called the AA this morning, he had seen the errors b4 on this model of car, he drove the car 200 meters and all the errors went away :doh:xxparty-smiley-004:

[grahamw48]

There's warning lights on all over the place on my boy's Punto.

I just ignore them and make sure it has plenty of oil and water in it.

Runs perfectly and sailed through its last MOT.

Silly computerised things. :NoNo:

[Ako Si Jamie]

Snowing here now, again. Wasn't forecast till tomorrow. :anerikke:

[Terpe]

Snowing here now, again. Wasn't forecast till tomorrow. :anerikke:

We had a couple of hours too. Big flakes but didn't settle at all.
Hopefully we'll miss the forecast shedload tomorrow :Erm:

[grahamw48]

I'll be doing my shopping this afternoon then putting the car away. :NoNo:

Sounds like my poor stepdaughter is going to be up to her neck in it in New York though. :cwm24:

[Ako Si Jamie]

We had a couple of hours too. Big flakes but didn't settle at all.
Hopefully we'll miss the forecast shedload tomorrow :Erm:It didn't last long here either.
