It has come to a point, where I don't actually want snow anymore. I just want spring to arrive. It's too late now. In my opinion. So I won't be disappointed when/if we don't get snow to be honest.

we're supposed to get some on Sunday but I think it will be wintery showers more than snow. Still enough to bring the traffic to a standstill.
we had snow all weekend.. didn't stick but it was nice to watch for inside my warm house

Lots of snow here today. It took me one hour to get to work and it usually only takes me 15 mins :eek:
Oh I really want it to snow here it did a little bit Sunday night but didn't settle
No Snow but lots of Hail. That stuff really hurts when it hits you.
hehe we had hail yesterday aswell
It started snowing lightly near the end of last lesson at school, but there was none here.
We have had bits of snow that hasnt stuck, and I didnt even see it snow

We had mainly sleet and gale force winds. God was it cold. The north and West of Scotland is to get most of the snow tonight and tomorrow but we will probably get some of it. A weekend for hibernating I think. Maybe the cold will help us win against the French at Murrayfield on Sunday.

We've just had a bit of hail. Its really sunny here and fairly warm. Even had my sunglasses on when I went out.
it's snowing here again! woke up this morning to see a fox asleep on the snow, and then it melted, then it's been snowing again! I can;t believe we have snow this late in the year!

Oh my gosh, that is sooo cute! Have you got a picture :D.
I don't, I was going to, but then forgot cos I woke up to find I'd moved a lot of stuff around in my sleep and I needed to move it all back again, and then I got hungry... but the intention was there!!

06-04-2008, 22:08
Had plenty of snow, (about 1 inch haha) and was pretty happy to see it! I didn't touch it though as we had a wedding to go to and mum didnt want us getting soaked but by the time we came back it was all gone! So not to pleased about that! Hopefully it will snow a bit tomorrow! x
We had more snow earlier, whilst I was at work, it looked very cool
We had a couple of inches of snow settle about 6pm. Its strange seeing snow, we hardly ever get it here and when we do it never settles.
I hate snow. Its so cold then it turns to slush and gets everywhere :thumbsdow
I love snow, however I can see the coversations in geography tomorrow though, we'll feel like we've brought the snow with us :lol:
I don't know why everybody gets excited about snow. If it starts snowing when I'm at school everybody gets hyper and runs to the windows :lol: Strange people
I think snow is very romantic and beautiful - one a Christmas card. I also don't mind it when I can sit inside a warm house, looking out to see it snow. Going out in it though, especially in a car, is a big no-no for me, it is cold and wet and a lot of car accidents happen. :thumbsdow
We had a tiny bit come down and could see it falling from the window, but looking at the ground you wouldn't have noticed it had been snowing. It only fell for about 3 minutes too :(

It was freezing here.. Haven't been out today though but I can feel it!
I didn't know it was snowing today and didn't look out of the window all day..
Just went on MySpace and there's a bulletin going 'It's Snowing, No REALLY!', so I looked out of the window and I see it's been snowing.. :( I missed it, but it's still there..
And it's still freezing :)
I didnt get snow to do but when we were in the car travelling up to Cumbria we had hail/sleet, thing is I have no idea where we were at the time :p
No snow here, thank gawd!!!!! I'm a clumsy cow at the best of times without snow on the ground!!! It is deffo a lot colder here though today. Me and mum went to a candle party ( yawwwwwwn) lat night an di only wore my little coat and short sleeved top and froze my boobs off!!!!
I am soo cold. Been going out in a t-shirt, long sleeved shirt, hoody, coat and scarf and still freezing!! Not had any snow though. Got lots back home though apparently, which is a bit wierd cause i'm not that much further south really.

Just heard on the radio that about one hours drive from where I live kids are having snowball fights :eek: It will be cold and snowy this weekend and a very cold snap to be expected over the next couple of weeks. Be careful out there ! :D
The last daylight now reveals that it is snowing where I live. Quite big flakes too and loads of them. I like snow but hate driving a car in those conditions.:thumbsdow

It feels really cold and icey tonight where I am, as much as I want snow, I dont want loads as I need to get to work lol
Woke up to ca., 8 cm snow :eek: Must have been snowing non-stop. I think I will do a little shopping in the local shop only rather than going christmas shopping in the shopping centre which is not that far away but I prefer to wait until the snow clearing of the roads has started. Usually not too bad here in Germany once the authorities know it has snowed. :lol:
Awww no fait, I wanna be where you are Perdita :p
Its just icey cold here but no snow
Some snow melted in the course of yesterday but still plenty about. It was fun watching all the kids go on their sledges :D More snow fall forecast until Tuesday but also very cold temperatures, so it should stay a while.

Another cold snap is on its way in a winter that looks set to be the chilliest for at least 13 years, meteorologists have warned.
Michael Dukes, of MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said the "reasonably average" temperatures over the last fortnight would come to an end on Sunday night when bitter winds and freezing air from Russia were expected to move across the UK.
There is also a chance of snow for parts of the country in the early part of next week.
Mr Dukes said: "Chill winds from the continent will start to be felt across the south and east in the next couple of days, before a blast of bitterly cold air from western Russia sends the mercury plunging during Sunday night and the early part of next week.
"Although still far from certain at this stage, there are growing signs that heavy snow showers will accompany this frigid air during Monday and Tuesday, more especially across southern and eastern parts of England, with the north and west probably staying mainly fine and frosty.
"Temperatures in the first half of next week are unlikely to be as low as they were in the early January 'freeze' but will struggle to rise above freezing by day and will drop several degrees below at night with a significant wind-chill adding to the cold."
Temperatures are forecast to drop from between 4C and 7C on Saturday and 3C and 5C on Sunday down to between -1C and -3C on Sunday night.
Maximum temperatures on Monday are predicted to be 1C-4C, plunging to -1C to -4C in the night, according to Mr Dukes, who said the wind chill factor would make it feel even colder.
With overall temperatures in December and January between 1C and 1.5C below average and a freezing start to February looking likely, Mr Dukes said the last time the winter months were as cold was in 1995-1996. During that winter, in particular in December, the weather was very cold and windy with plenty of snow.
On December 30 1995 the UK national lowest temperature of -27.2C was equalled - recorded in the Scottish village of Altnaharra. Earlier this month, temperatures plunged to lows of -13C during a three-week freeze.
The forecast for tonight is -5C, rising to a massive -3C daytime high tomorrow with snow and then temperatures go down to -6C again. :(
When I read the article beofore it really makes sense about the cold, cos that year and xmas I have loads of pics of snow and I look about 4 on them and there was LOADS of snow
Yeah, it is my birthday in February and as a child my birthday celebrations always included a snowball fight :lol: The last two winters over here were very mild and I kept saying that we need more cold to kill off all the creepy crawlies that were taking over, but I think we have had enough cold now :D
The forecast for tonight is -5C, rising to a massive -3C daytime high tomorrow with snow and then temperatures go down to -6C again. :(
:eek::eek: So glad I don't live where you are. I wouldn't get out of bed.
I would get out of bed but normally would not venture outside, alas, OH is on his way home and will want his Sunday paper - as he has driven all the way from deepest (:lol:) Austria to be back home around midnight, I shall go and get the paper :D
No snow in Bristol, but apparently its menna snow tomorrow night to monday morning lol x

Apparently it's going to snow here tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday! Looking forward to least an inch or two of it or I won't be happy as it's not worth the cold :p
None here; I'm not that far from Bristol so I hope we do get it tonight then. I'll regret saying that if I slip over walking from the bus stop tomorrow :lol:
Its been snowing a little here, nothing that will settle and its starting to stop now :(
We've had a few flakes too. Nothing major :D
I hoping it will start again cos theres more clouds now :p
We've got really thin clouds and very blue sky. It keeps trying to snow but all we get is a couple of flakes every now and then.
:eek: you have very blue sky!
I cant even see the sky, its covered, its like a dull white grey mistyish cloud cover :lol: I sound awful describing this, but thats what it looks like
We had a little more flakes but not much
It might snow later in the day

I hope the weather forecast is wrong, because if it's right everywhere but me has snow next week :crying:. Although, don't know why I'm shocked. We never get snow :( Towns nearish me will though, I bet. Fuming.
we never get snow in southampton as it's by the sea, but it's bitter bitter cold - espec when your going out to a club at 10pm at night!
i hope its not cold tomorrow morning, i've got to get up and walk to work at 8:15.
I'll send you a bucket of Stoke snow in the post :p I hate snow.
It's swirling now :ninja: Clouds have disappeared and we've got twilight blue sky. It's is ridiculously cold though.
Weather forcast is heavy snow until Thursday, with a max of 2C all week :crying: Tuesday is forcast to be -4C :eek:
-1 here for Tuesday. Uh oh, I hope that is wrong. Have been in bed for most of the weekend ill. I don't think standing at bus stops in that temperature will do me a lot of good but I can't afford to be taking time off school.

My dad doesn't want me to drive the car tomorrow. I will not actually get to college tomorrow if I take the train. They are delayed if there is heavy rain let alone snow!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Edit: I was right. Everything is suspended, part suspended or severely delayed. Although my dad is also right because I don't think the main road has been gritted! :nono: I suspect the only reason it is part clear on either side is because of the lorries going through all night.
Good job I got up early then, I'm going to have to get the bus.

It's only snowing very lightly here. We got sent home, as my school was too cold to stay in :rolleyes:
Its covered in snow here which is amazing :D Someone set the fire alarm off in my halls so everyone had to come out and join us, so we had a massive snow ball fight. Sooo much fun. Really cool its still around as well. I'm hoping the trains get back on soon though, meant to be going home for a few days on Thursday, but the trains are all cancelled.
We had about 4 cm in Livingston, but at work there is is only about 2 cm - but it is snowing heavily on and off.
It took me an hour and 5 minutes to get to work this morning rather than the usual 20 minutes :thumbsdow
we never get snow in southampton as it's by the sea, but it's bitter bitter cold - espec when your going out to a club at 10pm at night!
i hope its not cold tomorrow morning, i've got to get up and walk to work at 8:15.
ha ha love it! it's snowed here! and the whole city has gone crazy over just an inch of snow! uni has shut at midday and so has the union, so i had to go home from worth early!
we're all gonna make snowmen later! :D
We only have a little bit here. Some woman across the road from me ordered a taxi because she didn't fancy driving even though there was only a bit of it. I don't know how she managed it but she gave our door number instead of hers. They don't even sound similar. Anyway my mum went outside because this taxi was on our drive and she thought I'd ordered it trying to be funny :lol:
I'm not in school today but I don't know if it is open or not. If it wasn't I'd be waiting from quarter to 8 until about half 10 for a bus anyway, they're that rubbish coming from my school and even then it drops off about 3 miles away.

I am so not impressed with the lack of snow we're getting here! Little flurries every now and then. Not impressed :(
We have lots of snow :)
I couldn't see the hill opposite to my house earlier, because it was snowing so much. I'll take a picture in a bit.. It's stopped snowing for now, but the sky looks heavy with snow. Then again I am no meteorologist :rotfl:
hardly any snow in bristol :(
Wasn't that bad earlier - but starting to come down heavier now.
IM NOT A FAN ... my friend's driving test got cancelled this morning due to snow - i'm hoping mine goes to plan.
My friend made a good point this morning; Switzerland and places like that have snow all the time - and they cope fine, a bit of snow for england and everything closes down :rolleyes:
Although all that said and done - i did have a snowball fight earlier :D
The road has cleared a bit with the grit now, but it's still snowing. I think there's a big chance that the snow left will freeze and then we'll have another snow day :)
I took some pictures:

We have had loads of snow today, although this money it wasnt that thin and throughout the day its been on and off so much hasnt stuck but its getting really bad now :cheer: so yay more snow :p it hasnt stopped for hours now :p
Im hoping college will close tomorrow, though it wont :( But the people who come to my college that live further away and in the middle of now where wont be coming in

My college was shut today. Silly they didn't put anything on the website telling people not to bother. Went out for 6 hours in the snow. :lol: It took ages to walk to where we wanted to go. I think its about 4 miles one way just to get there. :eek: Never walked so far, ever. :lol: It was so weird there being barely any cars on the roads!
:eek: you walked!
I love it :wub: its all white outside and I really hope there is more :p
North east is gonna loads next apprently! :( I wish I still lived there
I heard on the radio that if you didn't get snow today, chances are you'll get it tomorrow. Don't quote me on that though :p

02-02-2009, 19:13
Flaming an hour and a half it took on a bus to get 4 miles to get home this afternoon:angry: The road was blocked because the gritters hadn't been out and the buses couldn't get up the hill so they had to be all diverted. You would think we were in Siberia were the snow is waist deep instead of a few centimeters.
I heard on the radio that if you didn't get snow today, chances are you'll get it tomorrow. Don't quote me on that though :p
Oh I got it today :D But apparently westernly areas will also get more snow at times tomorrow :p

YAY! It's stopped snowing now but i have a feeling the snow might freeze in the night. That means they can't run the buses :angel:
Can you tell Im watching the news :lol:
I reckon why things have gotten so bad and we have to be under prepares its cos we are not an extreme climate so dont have certain things but at the ame time every one and while when they things do happen, we need the proper stuff!
Yeah, you're so right. I think Britain just assumes that being prepared for extreme weather isn't a necessity because it doesn't come very often :rolleyes:.. That's all starting to change now.
Yeah thats true, if anything I think cos of global warming we are slowly becoming an extreme climate

02-02-2009, 19:30
:eek: you walked!
There was no buses, no underground and only an emergency skeleton service on the overground. It was the only way. :p It didn't seem that long. Although next time I will wear extra socks! :lol:
I hate walking for ages in snow cos I have this extreme fear that Im gonna fall! :S
I have an awful fear of falling, especially in the snow on the way down to the bus stop. God. I hate it.

i got sent home from work early was supposed to finish at 8.15 and left at 5.45 cause i live so far away woo hoo although the others werent that pleased but they ended up shutting the centre at 8 instead of 12 so everyone got a good deal. Wonder if they will call me tomorrow and tell me not to bother coming in...........
I know college wont be closed but the fact that loads of people might not come in tomorrow is good cos that means that hopefully most of the teachers will not bother with our lessons or let us go early :p
I can hope :D .............

02-02-2009, 22:16
We got quite alot of snow now, started gettung bad just as I was going to dancing and as we got there we were told that we were all going back home instead, I wasn't best pleased because thats £10 wasted on a taxi!!
It's rainyish here now though :( Hopefully itll snow in the night so schools cancelled and we can hit the mountain :D
I think my school will be closed. It's still snowing :D... Tomorrow I'm going out though :p

I live in hope of another snow day. :p
The trains are slightly better but the second one I need to get is apparently only running every 2 hours. If it is still bad tomorrow I may just walk from the connecting stop. Shouldn't take more than 45 minutes. I'd rather not take the buses with the roads like they are!
*sets alarm early* :rolleyes:
awww its not snowing here, well I Cant really tell, its still nice and white outside but not as thick as I would like

The snow is finally sticking here, have a good layer on the ground now and it's still snowing now... can't say I'm a fan of snow, it's nice to look at I suppose.. but don't find me rolling around in it!
I am meant to have an exam tomorrow too, but the snow means its likely my school will be closed again. My exam might still go ahead though, so I will just go in and see what happens..
What exam is it? Ooh. That reminds me - I have my English Lit. mock on Friday :rolleyes:
what exam? a school exam? cos if its closed then how can you do the exam?
DaVeyWaVey
02-02-2009, 22:31
It's just a university exam to get a scholarship and an unconditional offer. There may be some teachers at my school tomorrow, even if it is closed I would imagine? or is that silly? :p lol I might just turn up and see who's around and if it can still go ahead..
Cant it be done on any other day?

02-02-2009, 22:35

Nope unfortunately. Though, they might make other arrangements for me if I can't do the exam I suppose.
Never, ever try walking in the snow/slush when you're drunk :rotfl: Really bad idea.
We actually got proper snow last night and then it all turned to slush this morning.. but back snowing again so you never know

Most of the snow here has gone its all slush or ice. The paths are very slippery....
School was cancelled today but now it's really sunny so the snow will probably go by tomorrow.

03-02-2009, 12:11
School was cancelled here too, but I still went in and sat my exam :)
I've just seen on the news that most of the heavy snow that was predicted to fall hasn't fallen yet. I wonder if I'll ever get back to school...

Yay so glad we had snow :D :D I stayed at my mates last night. And we were atching dvds with the curtains closed as you do.. we decided to go to bed at like 1, looked outside and there was heaps of snow on the ground and loads still falling :lol: We were like. How could we miss it? So then we decided to go out and make a snowman :p It's pretty lame, but it was dark and she has a small garden and had to be quiet :p Was fun though. Had a small snowball fight too. AH I love the snow :D. Then I just got dropped off.. she lives like 10 mins from me via car, and her village still has loads of snow on the ground.. soon as we came to my town it had all GONE!!!! I was like :crying: no fair :(.

We've had lots of snow todayy :)
Was going to go up the mountain... but that went to pot.
So I walked liek halfway up the flipping mountain, to get to my friends... I'm cold now :(
Awww ours has been melting loads :(
And college was normal :(
A GIRL of 16 died and four pals were hurt yesterday in a sledging horror in a country park.
They were thrown from the cut-off roof of a car they were using as a toboggan into a fence.
The tragedy came amid scores of accidents — and fears snow chaos could cost Britain £3.5billion this week.
Brilliant student Francesca Anobile was killed at Rother Valley Country Park, South Yorks, when she and her four girl pals hurtled through barbed wire before smashing into a wooden fence beside a river.
Francesca — known as Fran — suffered massive head injuries in the lunchtime accident.
The popular student had passed 15 GCSEs at Westfield Sports College, Sheffield.
Mum Joanne, 42, dad Donato, 49, sister Gabriella, 15, and brother Alexander, 13, of Mosborough, Sheffield, were left devastated last night.
Francesca’s friend Nikki Burns, 16, of Waterthorpe in the city, was “serious but stable” in hospital.
The other three girls were treated for minor injuries at Rotherham General Hospital.
A spokesman for Rotherham Council, which runs the park, said: “The girls got themselves a cut-off top from a Land Rover-type vehicle — but they were not able to control it.”
A police source said: “They were having fun, then this. It’s an appalling tragedy.”
Messages of goodwill were posted on Facebook by Nikki’s sister Louise, who wrote: “Worryin So Much, I Love You To Bits Nikki. Hope Ur Guna Be Ok.”
Francesca was a star pupil at Westfield College and was selected for a leadership programme.
In the college magazine last year, she said of the programme: “We have been able to meet famous sporting celebrities and have acquired skills that will help us in our future careers.”
The tragedy came on a second day of snow chaos around the country.
Patients cut off by heavy snowfalls in Devon and Cornwall were flown to hospitals in military helicopters.
Driver Sam Armstrong, 23, escaped unhurt after skidding on ice and ploughing into a home in Portsmouth.
In Cwmbran, South Wales, children hurled a brick disguised as a snowball through a gritting lorry’s window. Police are hunting 15 youths.
Around 150 flights in and out of Heathrow were cancelled.
Scores more were scrapped at Birmingham International, Gatwick, Bristol and Southampton.
Rail services into London were hit by ice.
More than 1,000 Eurostar passengers were delayed in the Channel Tunnel for three hours when their service broke down after hitting freezing weather in France.
A second train had to shunt it through the tunnel.
Thousands of businesses operated reduced services.
Stephen Alambritis, from the Federation of Small Businesses, said: “One of the world’s biggest economies should not be grinding to a halt.”
It is just starting to snow again where I live and I have to go out on the motorway to two different places :crying: I hope we get a ruddy good summer after this long, hard winter.
It is minus 7oC in Livingston, but the main roads are all clear and have been since yesterday morning. My cul de sac is covered in frozen snow and is vey slippy, but I had no problems getting to work.
Some very artistic snowmen are still standing, although the snow did melt significantly yesterday.
My kids school bus was cancelled as all the bus company buses were frozen, so I had to turn back and give them a lift into Edinburgh. My youngest son was not happy!
Beautiful sunny day!

Its still VERY cold though
Lots of snow - more of it forecast here :rolleyes: Looks like im not back in school till monday!
Got a cancellation :D Lets just hope this snow does not continue on throughout next week!!
My school was open today but there's snow coming tonight and it's started to get colder... if the snow that's already here freezes and then it snows on top of that, I doubt we'll be back in school :rolleyes:.. Never mind :p
This is not fair my school/college has never closed cos of snow :(
:( That's mean. We really needed those days in school though.. I think we might all fail our English Lit. mock exam on Friday :rolleyes:
I hope the snow isn't too bad over night in the south. I'm going back home for the weekend tomorrow, so if theres lots of snow the trains might be cancelled, which would be annoying.

the thing is though, they have snow all the time so theyre prepared for it. i saw on the news cars in russia with these snow tyre things, we dont need those in this country cos we dont have snow enough, i dont think people would pay for all this stuff just for 1 day a year

Herts uni sent an email saying their open day this Saturday may be cancelled. Noo I was counting on that to help me make up my mind. :lol:
We ALWAYS have school closed. Like, almost everytime it snows.. We were sent home from school a couple of years ago because there was a really bad blizzard and it was going to get worse, and then too dangerous for us to go home. School was closed for the next two days after that :D

Well, we usually get TONS of snow. And it's all hilly where I live so driving is dangerous.. I just think the teachers just say they can't get into school so they don't have to work. Well.. I know that's the case with atleast one of them.

Worst snow this week here and still snowing :D First time my school has been closed this week but I was off for 2 days for illness.
Im hoping lots of people cant come in college today :D :thumbsup:
