Bbbbrrrr, cold! :cold:
I also use the Met Office Weather Site (http://www.met-office.gov.uk/index.html) - it's got the most accurate info. :)

That Richard Wild has a degree in weather... but he also has a PhD in snow studies. Snow joke! Honest! :hihi: :rolleyes:
I'd love some snow, not a thing here, just cold, even though snow was forecast

YAY!
Snow here today! Love it but it will disappear pretty quickly as it doesn't tend to settle here for very long.

We had a flurry of snow here on the south coast about an hour ago which is quite unusual - normally we get rain. But temperature is rising now and sun is shining beautifully
Bonkers Mad!!!

i don't like snow, it's too cold :cold:
It was lovely and sunny here yesterday but very cold. I took the kids out for a bike ride and it started to snow, very sunny and snowing....odd!
No snow yet in my part of the world although it chucked a few flakes down and was threatening to yesterday.
Lovely sunny day here today! Much nicer than snow!! :D
No snow here either. I think I live in the only part of Scotland that doesn't have a forecast for snow :(

We had 6 inches of snow this morning - had day off college and kids had day off too. Went down to local park, built snowmen, christened them NFH and took fustrations out by pelting the sh*t out of them with snow balls. Well worth the forst-bite!
Send the snow this way please, we've had nothing, a few flurries of nothing, crisp, dry and sunny here :)

No snow here either. Just very very cold.
We started off with a -9 (:o) and now the snow has finally arrived...Kids have been having fun in it though - at least it's the weekend, so no worries about having to get up and about tomorrow! :D

Lucky you DB, Little Miss T has been watching out of the window when it started to snow, getting very excited. It has now stopped and there is not even enough to make a decent snowball. :(
We got a tiny sprinkling last night, I got all excited - it's gone now! :rolleyes:

We've had snow here ever since 26th December (Southern Sweden). It seems to be finally leaving now though as the Sun is paying us a daily visit now and often stopping for a couple of hours. As opposed to the winter months when it hardly turns up at all :D

By the way, Dr Richard Wild has issued another snow/sleet forcast for this weekend! http://thatsnews.blogspot.com/ :lol: :notworthy:

Hi all
Small dusying last night but snowing quite heavy now. :cold: but cats like it! :thumbs:
Went to bed last night and it was raining. Woke up to about 4 inches of snow, and its still heavy now :bigeyes: :D . I hope it keeps up, school will be closed tomorrow:lol: Parents night too :hihi:. Glasgow was at a standstill from what the news is saying. Nightclubbers were stranded and had to be put up in hotels :blink:
I loooooooove snow. Jr was outside by 9.30 building a snowman and the dog was going barmy. Fabulous :lol:

Way too cold for me i staying in front my lovely roaring fire :D Take care all Copperfox

I think the southern "edge" of the snowfall was around Stafford - was up there this weekend to collect my (nearly) new 4x4.
Woke up this morning and first thought - snow = playtime. BUT, as soon as I got onto the main road then M6 - where was the snow? it had already melted by 10 am.
Disgraceful. I want my money back, (not really - the joy of driving a newish car is so good, it makes all other worries fade into the distance). :D
:( We've got rain now, been going since about 3. Don't think the snow will last the night :( Looks like I'll be working tomorrow after all :lol:

nothing here yet!!
:thumbs:
Still no snow here either. Mr T was praying for snow last night so he could have a day off.
It is treacherous here, the snow is still here but is now covered with ice :( work car parks not gritted, and I've fallen on one of the paths on my way in this morning :(
Still love snow, hate the ice, and I'd rather be at home watching it :P
Eeyore, hope you didn't hurt yourself. I wish it would snow here, Little Miss T is really desperate to build a snowman. She has never made one before :(
OK, I have had enough of it now...kids have all had their fun etc etc so can it go away now please!!!??? :cold:
I'm ok, I was more shaken than anything else, and embarassed :blush: Thankfully I had gloves on, put my hands out to break the fall and amazingly I'm not cut, just have red palms, rang Eeyores mam though and told her not to venture out :(

Really treacherous on the paths and roads here. Everyone walking is going very carefully. The clouds are lifting and there are patches of blue sky so hopefully we will get a bit of sun that may melt the snow.
My dogs have not been out today because of the state of the paths but they don`t seem that bothered yet. Later on they will plan their revenge by going in a cupboard in the kitchen and removing and ragging the contents. The joys of petenthood.

Lovely sunny day here in Kent. Bit chilly though, but have got all the windows open to air the house a bit.
Just going out for a walk.

Hi all
Snow has melted in South Yorkshire just wet and cold now :cold: :cold:
Eeyore i hope ur hands are ok, i normally do things like (that but its normally my pride that is hurt most :thumbs: :cry: :P ). I have just finished for an hour so just popped home for a :coffee: although it's days like this i wish i could just lock the world out pick up a good book and have a really long :lush: with a :wine: but ahhhh no rest for the wicked love Muk xxx
I'm fine, thank you, left palm is still a bit sore, but I'm ok, could have been a lot worse
:o Blimey Eeyore, glad you are Ok - good ides to tell eeyore's mam to stay in - no more broken bones thank you :nono: :) .
I hate it now, it's too cold and treacherous...it's just a pain getting around in it. Having said that my Council has done really well to get the roads cleared so well...and most pavements too.
Pity about the school though, their playground was blimmin awful with sludge today with no path cleared and I really thought I would slip over (even with heavy duty walking boots on). Littlest smallest mazza did- even with me holding his hand tight :( .
Roll on sunshine and/or rain, I don't mind snow for the first few hours when it's fresh, but can't deal with it at all when it is like this.
And to cap it all...it's only gone and started to snow again...! :doh:

Hi Dibuzz,
I am all for encouraging activities for the little ones etc but that journey does not sound very nice although i'm sure it's all worth it when you see her scoring a goal or making a really good save depending on her position :lol: love Muk xx
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Yi Win @ 14th March 2006 - 3:58 PM) 155521</div>

Please send some my way.
LOL at yi win and DB :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:
We woke up to snow this morning, blowing a blizzard and thick ice everywhere (I walked on the grass on my way into work, not the path, no more falls for me!) all gone now, more forecast, and we're off over the moors tomorrow to Whitby! :lol:
Eeyore, don't forget your thermals :thumbs: :hihi:
LOL, east wind and we're going to the east coast! :rolleyes:
Eeyore, you are going to be freezing.....
Its raining here again. It has rained for over a week. :(
I have my scarf and gloves - it's all for Mr Eeyore - it's his birthday and he wants lunch at the Magpie at Whitby :rolleyes: Nothing will prevent him from getting there and having the best fish and chips in the world :lol:
I'm sort of looking forward to seeing the snow on the moors, bet there is a lot
Well have a lovely day and say Happy Birthday to Mr Eeyore from the T's.

Weather still ok here. Bit chilly, but no rain or snow as yet.
Happy Birthday Mr E :birthday:
hi all
not even a tiny flake of snow here suns out today :)
Eeyore hope you and mr e enjoy your trip to whitby and happy birthday mr e :makewish:
We had a lovely day, snow on the moors but the roads are well clear :D
And we had the best ever meal (fish and chips of course), and the whole restaurant sang happy birthday to Mr Eeyore while the waitress brought out a cake with a candle in it :lol: He was mega blushing! :blush:
Not a flake of snow and it wasn't too cold, but I've heard snow is forecast again this week ;)
Plus we did well as for past 8 days Whitby has had snow and ice
I glad you and Mr Eeyore had a good time. I hope he has got over his red face :D .
mmm fish and chips I could just eat some now.
No snow here today it was quite warm and sunny. Warm enough not to have to do your coat up.

Glad you're having a good time Eeyore.
It's been positively balmy here on the south coast today compared with just recently. I've even turned the central heating right down and done a bit of spring cleaning (net curtain washing et al).
Though the forecast is for the temp to drop right down tonight to -3 or something.
Miss Understood
15-03-06, 04:35 PM
Ahhh, Yi Win, (and assuming you're still oop north!)
It's the north/south divide :D
Just popped outside and it's snowing :)
Still no snow here but it has gone down to -2. I am hoping it will be nice tomorrow as I want to take the kids to the zoo. But whats the betting it snows.
marieuk
15-03-06, 07:25 PM
Hi all Fingers crossed for tomorrow Tact have fun at the zoo Muk xx :D
We've had snow, again just a dusting, roads are clear but snow on the grass etc, but it doesn't feel as cold as it has been - where is the proper snow? We used to get it feet high lasting for weeks :(
Miss Understood
16-03-06, 08:28 AM
A cold night after the balmy day yesterday - temperature is about 5 degrees lower than it was this time yesterday. But the sun is shining which is nice :D

No snow here but it's freezing.

Very tempting idea the way they are behaving this morning. :hihi:
Its freezing but there's no snow here yet. Still trying to decide if we should go or not.
Its just started snowing.
I have just told Little Miss T's nursery she is not going in today. Little Master T will probably freeze in his pushchair. Its either the zoo or the park.
Fed up...more bloomin snow..it's too cold!!!
Hope it melts by this afternoon, I am so naffed off with it now! :nono:
Yeah...it's wonderful...only if you don't have places to go and people to see and kids to tog up in millions of layers of clothes thus adding 4 hours to your working day... ;)
Snowing here again, not lying, just snowing

Just got back. It was freezing. The kids were really wrapped up and had a great time me and Mr T are blue. It snowed and rained the whole time.
Still no snow here yet but it is really cold and windy.
(It took us nearly 2 hours to get there as Mr T knew the way :rant: and 45 mins to get back because I knew the way)
