Winter 2011

[Perdita]

So far, the weather has been great where I live. A few frosty mornings lately but no snow like last year :cheer:
As far as I am concerned, it can stay like this until April next year :D

[Chloe O'brien]

Yeah it's been quite mild up here this week so far just some rain. It will be 1 year next Saturday since we had the first load of snow. I'm prepared I have my telescopic snow shovel to dig me out if it happens again.

It's been really mild in Bristol and we haven't even had that much rain. Just hope the snow stays away.

[Perdita]

Woke to some snow on the ground this morning, luckily it has all gone again. Forecast is for more over the next few days. Hope it is not going to last for too long though

[Siobhan]

We had snow here since yesterday.. kinda mental that 5 Km down the road has none.. I am kinda in the mountains

[Katy]

Hope you did not hurt more than your pride :)

Oh we got tonnes more snow today and it still going... scary driving lesson today but at least I will have an instructor for my first snow drive who knows what he is doing

[Perdita]

same here, yesterday it all went again by mid-morning, today lots more and still snowing now :(

[Siobhan]

I see by the frowny face that I am probably the only person who likes this snow thing..

[Perdita]

I don't like driving in it, makes behaviour of cars unpredictable and since I slipped and twisted my knee in January which is still painful at times, I am very wary of it

[Abbie]

I know people dont like the snow but this winter has been far too mild, I only had a few cold days when I cam home from uni, I know its might seem strange but on my first day of being home I walked the dog and you know when you can really feel the cold in your legs, well to me thats what winter is all about and i miss the cold at this time of year!

[Chloe O'brien]

we need it to be cold to kill all the germs, it's wrong to be mild this time of year, I know we don't want to be knee deep in snow like we were last year but at least it kills all the bugs and germs. I don't mind if it's cold you can wrap up I'd rather it was like that then pouring with rain, which it has been doing most of the last week.

[Abbie]

Yeah the rain is really annoying and I have all these winter clothes that I cant wear! I mean its kinda good cos they are all on sale since its not cold enough for them but still! I would like a little snow, I only had 1 day of it this month. It just doesnt feel like winter at the moment

[moonstorm]

Gib is unseansonably hot this year. We are 24 degrees today!!!

[Perdita]

Chuffing freezing, night time temperatures down to -14C and the daytime high no more than -7C. Supposed to snow today and tomorrow :( I really hope that this does not continue for another 6 weeks as forecast :eek:

[Siobhan]

Yeah.. bloody cold here.... after walking the kids to school I think I could have pierced any part of my body and not feel it

[Perdita]

Sick to death of going to work at -16C, loads of snow on the way which will make roads treacherous. :crying:
But glad it is not as bad as in more eastern areas of Europe, -50C in parts of Russia :eek:

Know what you mean... it is bloody freezing outside.. poor kids are wrapped up like a christmas present every morning... I want the snow to come as it always seems to raise temperatures a bit.... Have friends in Hungry who said it was down to -26 the other day!! don't think I could handle that!!

Note to my irish friends.. I will never ever complain about Irish winters been cold.. compared to this, it is a heatwave!

[alan45]

So far this year we have missed the snow and ice that our friends across the sheugh have, Usually the further north you are the worse it is but this year the South of England seems to be getting it bad. Heres to a snow free February

[Katy]

Im sick of the snow. i know it was only one day but the bruises on my legs froslipping show no sign of going away any time soon.
