Its so unfair I woke up this morning and then was only a thin layer of frost, then it started to snow, I did what the school told me and checked the website, they updated it every 15 mins but the school was open today. It snowed through out the morning then stopped:D which is a shame cos they were thiniking of closing the school. Well now its snowing again and its really heavy :D
We had about 10 cms. It's all gone now. They had caution signs up at school, but I can't understand why they didn't close the school. One boy has ended up in hospital, so that will teach them in future. I really thought I would be next because of my disability and was escorted to first lesson by a teacher and was crying for the first 2 lessons over it.
What happened to the boy Kim? Did he slip or something?
Awww o dear.Quote:

We have snow and its really thick here :D still it was thicker this morning but mehh oh well we still got some :p
Apparently we have no school tomorrow too because (to sum it up quickly)yesterday we had a power cut last night and because of all the snow, noone could really sort it out so someone heard it's not going to be on tomorrow :D
What this is so unfair, well its still snowing at the moment so hopefully it will get worse:DQuote:

Lol ems, I love it when everything comes to standstill, it just means I can spend more time in home in bed.
It is rather pathetic/funny :lol: But I do like how it all comes to a standstill to :lol: the littlest flurry, we panic. But then we're not really used to it much here, whearas they are in the other Countries..
Nightmare drive this morning. Thank goodness I put the car in the garage. Traffic was horrendous, as people were naturally slowing into second gear on a duel carriageway due to the snow and ice.
That's what I heard... the latest was that, thankfully, he was going to be ok.Quote:

Just went out of snowball fighting though and slipped on the concrete...my head started bleeding and i was really shaken up..luckily i am ok now though, just going to get a massive bruise on my head and maybe a black eye!
oh poor you, i hope you are ok.
we have had rain today so the snow has been disappearing. then it snowed again and then rain! i dont think it knows what to do! off to north wales for me tomorrow!
Aw no Dave! Glad you're okay!
I was meant to go to Cardiff today, but as we were driving their the snow got too heavy, so had to turn back, went to Carmarthen instead, was really fun though, made snow angels, snowballs, snowmen haha :p But then I get back home and there's NOTHING!!! Gutted!
I was off to Bangor yesterday but the guy at the uni was really sweet and was like come next month dont try and get here, it wouldnt be a good idea, so i didnt go in the end. We have no snow at all here. None whatsoever theres some in Buxton though.
School wasnt cancelled again :( O well it was fun anyway. The thing is in my area we have had loads of snow, but keep getting like a 5 hour brake where most of it melts then it takes a while for it to set
We had a bit more today, although we weren't forecast it. It started melting in first lesson and was coming through the ceiling! Then we had a bit more come down during 4th lesson, but that all melted by lunch.
We had a load yesterday, but its just slush and ice now. Good old London pollution, eh?! :rotfl:
it snowed for so long yesterday evening and stuck everywhere then rained and this morning it had nearly gone! so we drove to north wales, about 35mins and it was so thick it was amazing! people were digging their cars out of their drives and we had a really good time in it for about 2hours till our toes were too numb!
All the snow has gone now, its all melted :(
I made a snow pile on Thursday and it's still here :lol: All the other snow has melted..
Snow?? What snow?? Did we have snow over the past couple of days??
:rotfl: :rotfl:
We only had rain - had to go all the way to Brummie yesterday, to finally get a glimpse!
Aww, you didn't get any, you should have said, i'd have posted you a box of it :DQuote:

Aww, that's not good, your kids didn't even get a day off school. We had it for one day here, and it was nearly all gone by the evening, but where i work had loads, so i got sent home from trying to get to work on the Thursday, and now i'm on holiday for a week, so i got an extra day :D
Believe me - I'm glad my kids didn't have the day off school!!! :rotfl:
I remember when it used to snow when I was younger, even when there was like 1ft or more and we'd still go to school. Ahhhh the good ol' days :rotfl:
Went down to the local river this morning with the other half and daughter to feed the ducks, and it was huge. All the melted snow and heavy rain we've had these past few days have had a big impact.
The lake by my college is frozen solid, all the way across. And its a huge lake, anyway.
The snow and ice has all gone, but that doesn't look like it'll shift for a fair few days still.
There was no snow here....:( well only a tiny bit which went as quickly as it came....NE must be experiencing the effects of global warming more so than the rest of the UK! :cool: :lol:
Lol so the north east didnt get much? That makes a changeQuote:

It was definitly more in the south and seemed to have avoided the Cities altogether. I thought the picyure of Newquay was funny, the most snow was meant to fall there and it looked like the baharmas.
Here is some of the snow scenes that I had:

I miss it very much :(
Blimey, that's 10 times more than we had. I only have one pic, had to take it before school, and I can't take any out of the window; leaded windows. I'll put it up when I have some credit to get it onto my computer.
Lol I took them all out of the view from my bedroom.
I did mine from the driveway waiting for my taxi to show up, so there wouldn't have been much point in taking anymore. Do you have more than one window, lol?
Nope just the one, so i opened the window really wide, and took pics going from left to right then looking down at the garden lol :pQuote:
