[Omega]

I've just seen that on local news East Anglia :angry:

I hate the snow :cold: seems it gonna hit here on Thursday; we had a sprinkling of snow today, some of it is still around outside as it hasn't been warm enough to thaw it :cold:

[coppernob]

It's freezing way down South, if it dosn't snow,I'll be very surprised. :blink:

[Eeyore]

Send it up north, I love it! :P

You can keep it :cold: Not that ours lays, it's just sludge really and nobody really likes sludge anyway ;)

[Eeyore]

No I don't like sludge either CN, manky horrible stuff that is neither use nor ornament ;)

Bring me clean white snow anyday. It's only 0.4 degrees here already, yikes

Now, snow would be more than welcome, the proper stuff that is.

[spartacus73bc]

Snow looks great, is fun, melts, turns to ice and prevents me from getting to work. I want it NOW!

[Beth]

it was minus 5 here last night and they, the weather man says it will between minus 5 and minus 8 tonight, with a stong possiblitiy of snow :cold: thats bad, it means the snow will fall on top of the ice and it will be dangerous out there

do take care all :cold:

[tortoise]

Thought it was feeling cold again!!

Minus 5 down here tonight apparently!

:cold:

[sp54]

:o Oh, my :o

We are SW of London and even we are expecting snow :o

[Beth]

I dont know, the sludgy stuff seems to have more salt in it and it ruins my shoes :D

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

:rolleyes: yeah but it's so ugly :yes:

i hope those baby Robins will be ok :unsure:

[sp54]

:( I had dirty, horrid sludge on my wedding day :badmood:

Spoilt the bottom of my dress it did :(

I like looking out at new snow when I am inside though :D

[Beth]

good point dont forget the birds every one, water as well as food!!

I defrosted the bird bath twice today and each tim e the birds were straight in it :lol: I used hot water, not de-icer :lol:

[Beth]

:lol: I think it depends in which part of the country you are in to what you call it ;)

[sp54]

Nope, it depends on what part of the country you come from as to what it is called actually

Edit: posts crossed with Beth

[Beth]

I dont care what it is called, all I know it is cold and wet and I dont like it! :lol: :cold:
I dont like snow either :no: :cold:

Roll on summer!! B)

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

:rolleyes: no really? :lol:

[Beth]

then we will have to agree to disagree :D

I call it sludge and you call it slush :lol:

like that song potatoe potartoe
tomatoe tomartoe :lol:

[sp54]

Really? That's surprising :bigeyes: Well it has been called that by my grandparents and their parents too, still, I guess we can't all be everywhere at once and learn every local quirk can we?

Family and regional history is one of my hobbies :thumbs:

Guess we can't all be experts at absolutely everything unfortunately :rolleyes:

[coppernob]

Where I live it has always been sludge. At the end of the day,unless your studying for an English degree, does it really matter? My sludge is your slush, same as my swede is someones else turnip etc etc

[sp54]

Turnips, CN ???? Why surely you mean 'neeps'? :hihi:

[Omega]

I've heard of it being called both sludge and slush; it's all the same to me I hate it with a vengeance :badmood:

Yep, and like others here, I have family history all over the British Isles and it is fascinating to hear what different things are/have been called :bigeyes:

Some of the things passed down through my diverse British family history still have me scratching my head :thumbs: I think it is lovely though :thumbs:



Anyway,seriously, I think we are all going very off topic here :rolleyes: :blush:, so let's all keep to the original topic now please, which is about severe snow forecast in the next few days.

Anyone wishing to start a new topic on regional language can start a new thread :) Thank you

[Beth]

yes back on topic its darn cold :cold: :lol:

So do you reckon its going to snow then :bigeyes:

Thats not good news then :bigeyes: The bad weather is supposedly coming up our way from the South - so keep us updated ;)

[coppernob]

My lovely 13 year old has sprained her ankle, it's the size of a small balloon.She has crutches to get to school but is praying it gets so icy she can stay home,in case she slips.Me, i'm hibernating :bookread:

The mind boggles :lol:

[sp54]

We don't get much snow here but everything still grinds to a halt :bigeyes:

[Domestic Goddess]

I don't mind snow, but icy roads and pavements scare me. I hope that a cold spell kills all the viruses that are going around.



Is virsuses the plural of virus????? If not, what is???

[sammie]

The frost here is so thick and blinking cold, saw o/h and son off to work :cold: shut the door quickly and jumped back into bed :thumbs: wicked i know but o/h would'nt have got up if it was me going to work :lol:

[Eeyore]

Snow here today. Only about 1cm but it's snow nonetheless :thumbs:

[StoneHenge]

We have been forecast up to six inches of snow here, tonight!

So I have decided in my wisdom, I will be working from home tomorrow. There is no way i am going to drive in snow on the motorway with the strange drivers round here who think that it's perfectly OK to drive and a stupid speed and think they have enough time to stop.

The traffic news will be an hour long and whats the betting some schools will close, despite warnings?

I think I will stay in bed with my laptop and work all day there! Much nicer!!!

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

I think I will stay in bed with my laptop and work all day there! Much nicer!!![/b]

i am so jealous, i'm on a 12 hour shift today, stuck here till 9pm :( by then it will have snowed and i'll have to walk home in it <_<

[Beth]

no snow in this part of yorkshire yet but its jolly cold :cold: I mean very very cold :cold:

off to get wrapped up and put hot water in the bird bath, yesturday the first time I used warm water and it had re-frozen in an hour :rolleyes:

[sp54]

The snow is predicted here from about midnight onwards.

Flipping cold though :unsure:

[Domestic Goddess]

How come countrues like the USA and Canada have huge amounts of snow and everything carries on as normal - and yet here 7 inches makes us gind to a halt and panic???

We haven't had a flake here - but it sure is nippy!

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

blue sky and sunshine here too, flippin' freezing though :yes:

[Annabel]

very sunny here but -3.5% on the way into work!

[StoneHenge]

It's gorgeous here at the moment, blue sky, sunshine. Cold, but something quite 'magical' about wrapping up and seeing the sun!

And we should wake up to a lot of snow! Might have to sneak out in my lunch hour and build a snow man if there is enough (haven't made on in nigh on 10 years!).

[Omega]

Very sunny here too; blue skies; but same as elsewhere cold :cold:

We still hve a scattering of snow out the front of the house as it is north facing and the sun doesn't get round there :( Yesterday where we had some snow and it was freezing Tuesday night/Wednesday morning the palm trees in the front garden had little tiny icicles hanging off each leaf :o

[Eeyores mam]

A scattering of snow this morning which has mostly gone now. thats all we`ve had. Didn`t take the dogs out till after lunch onto the fields and the snow had gone by then.We have wall to wall sunshine and it is quite warm so much so I had my coat unfastened

[mrmagoo]

Hi All, No snow here yet and it's clear blue skies and sunshine but very cold.

The boiler decided to go on the blink last night but it's sprung back into life today so i'm ready and waiting for some snow tonight.

[Planet 24]

They sell Sledge (s) at Asda now - they never had them on sale when I was young - they were always home made :)

[tact77]

I love the snow when you can go sledging but don't like it when it turns to sludge

[er 59]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Planet 24 @ 7th February 2007 - 7:58 PM) 236147</div>They sell Sledge (s) at Asda now - they never had them on sale when I was young - they were always home made :)[/b]

ooh yeah!! I remember home made ones p24 they were nearly always made of wood (splinters in the nether regions ouch :lol: )

[coppernob]

We used to use trays, great fun :D

[sp54]

Sledges are great fun if used carefully :D ;) :yes:

We used to take our kids to Richmond Park when it snowed and they just fell off the sledges laughing as they were having such fun :lol:

We don't get much snow here now [maybe tonight though :D ] The kids here go mad when they see snow - it is so rare to see :(l so am prepared for hyper kids tomorrow :rolleyes:

I hate the sludge and ice and am terrified of falling over :blush: If I could stay indoors and just look at it I would be happy :D

Be careful everyone tomorrow :unsure:

[tortoise]

Mr T has a sledge. It is a beautiful one from New England allwooden with ski things on the bottom.Unfortunately we don't usually have much use for a sledge.

Weather men have been going on all day about us getting 6 to 7 inches (Oh er!!) down here, but on BBC site it says we will just get sleet.

Will have to wait and see I suppose. LT has broken up from school today, so hibernating now!!

Is it half term already?? Snow is supposed to coming up from the south or somewhere down there :blink: I think the weathermen are playing safe this year :yes:

[coppernob]

I'm as far South as you can get, before you hit the channel :D and heard on the local radio that we will get snow overnight, turning to rain by morning (see, we never actually see proper snow :cry: ).Our half terms another week away yet :D

[rb2002]

Well, we've just had some snow up here. It lasted about 15 minutes and isn't very deep. I'm hoping for more. Might get a snow day from work :hihi: Then again, last time we had snow, my school was the only one in the area too stay open :banghead:

[Annabel]

crikey! i just went to let the cats out and it was nithering :cold: :cold: i had better go at let them back in its too cold for them to be out all night tonight, brrr

[sammie]

snow :cold: :cold: :cold: :lol:

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

we got loads here, well a couple of cms anyway :lol: and its still going

[spartacus73bc]

I'm a teacher too. I made it into school but only just. I'm hoping that other staff don't risk the journey. We can then go HOME!

[Sparrow]

:thumbs: we have got snow!!! Just a light covering when we woke up but now its really coming down!!!! I hope it stays over the weekend so we can get out sledging and making snowmen with the kids - we havent had a proper lot of snow before for them to have fun in!! :thumbs:

[tact77]

Snow here too :thumbs: A snowman will be made by the end of the day :lol:

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

i just took the dog out (really briefly, just long enough for a wee) and we have more than the couple of cms i originally said, its more like 4 inches and its getting heavier :bigeyes: the dog loved it, i didnt :no:

[Eeyore]

Was snowing here about 9pm last night then it stopped after an hour. This morning we have snow, only about 2-3cms, but it's minus 2 degrees, so bitter cold, and very slippy outside. The dogs loved it and were snuffling at the snow. We were the only ones out and about and got to walk in fresh snow, lovely.

I have advised Eeyores mam not to go out today ;) Not after she fell a few years ago on ice.

Roads were snowy (but hey, I've got 4WD) and an accident in the centre of town but I still got to work in no more time than normal. Only thing was I had to second guess where my parking space was as I couldn't see the number painted on the road, thankfully mine has a little orange dot on the railings in front :lol:

It's very grey outside, more snow forecast, hope Mr Eeyore is ok, he has his car at work and it's a swine in snow ;)

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

i keep hearing on the news that 4000 gritters are trying to combat the snow. errr how long have we known it was coming? surely they shouldve been sent out yesterday :blink:

Some Pics

[spartacus73bc]

No such luck. Mine is the only school in the town to stay open. 85 schools across the county are closed. Not mine. The kids are riotous, the staff sullen and our lousy headteacher careless about the prospect of broken legs and the like.

[Sparrow]

Its not stopped snowing here yet since I last posted!!! :) Just got back from taking the kids to school - their school is shutting at 1pm cos of it!! The main road through the village is clear but the hill near school is bad - Ive seen people pushing cars and vans up it cos they are just wheel spinning :blink:

Lovely pics sammie :thumbs:

[magpie]

:cold: We've got loads of snow :cold:


About six inches and rising :D :wow:

[StoneHenge]

There was only t iny coverng this morning and now it's coming thick and fast. The canal looks very pretty though as the water is frozen to about half an inch and it's all covered with snow. Working from home with a REALLY slow connection!

Snowmen building time then!! :lol:

I dont think we have had snow here like this since I was my eldests age - never mind the kids I cant wait to get out in it building snowmen :blush: :lol:

[Eeyores mam]

the bit of snow we had is melting here now so I am going out to do some shopping and have lunch out with my next door neighbour in town. The bus stops right outside the house. Its a stop and hop bus which is great and of course being pensioners we both get free rides.

Enjoy your lunch Eeyores mam :)

[sammie]

Coming down heavy again, the kids have their sledges out, and most of the snow on the cars have gone, the kids have used it to have snowball fights :lol: the road into the village are really bad, o/h and son got to work at 6am, by the time other son went he couldget any where, car kept sliding so he came back and is now back in bed :rolleyes: did make him walk to the shop with me, as we got to the end of the road he attacked me with snowballs :bigeyes: :lol:

[tact77]

Magpie, our snow is about as deep as yours. We have just finished our first snowman. At the very end his head fell off so in for a cup of tea and out again to do repairs :lol:

Eeyores mam, enjoy your lunch :thumbs:

[Annabel]

we have had about 4 inches in east london, epping forest looks beautiful, the roads are covered in nasty black slush, but thats OK i can drive on that, my daughters school is closed (not happy) and so I have brought her to work with me, and at the moment its just me and two others who live local who have made it so far! the snow is coming down but its a bit wet so i think our snow isnt going to last very long.

[bunny2]

B) Just let my little Yorkie out in the garden for call of Nature, poor little thing just vanished. :bigeyes:

ahh bless :lol:

magpie, we got about the same amount as you :yes:

Annabel my sons school is open :P but it looks like all the junior schools around here are closed which means i'll probably get loads of them at work now :(

[Annabel]

lol @ bunny, my cats were up to their knees in it and if looks would kill id be stone cold dead they way they were sending me daggers! :lol:

[sp54]

We've got snow :D

It started snowing at 3.30 am [yes I was up - flipping teenagers [minisp] plus friends and 20 something son plus friends all arrived home then within minutes of each other and we were turned into a temporary doss house for what was left of the night :angry: :angry: ]

Anyway, I digress :lol: ;) - it is still snowing here but the schools are open and mr sp has opened his own school too - most staff got in and mr sp left home extra early to get there himself. Nothing stops him opening his school :lol: :rolleyes:

Great pics, magpie :thumbs:

[bunny2]

Hi Annabel

I can imagine the look :rolleyes:

[Planet 24]

We've just had quite a heavy fall and my white cat is out in it not looking too happy.
She's never been out in it before as she couldnt 'use' the garden at the other house safely.
I think she will be very quick!

[Sparrow]

My dog been out in it and rolled and rolled in it :lol: she loves it - she wont come in - Ive been standing at the door calling her and she is pretending she is a deaf dog :rolleyes:

[coppernob]

Well not so much as a flake down here :cry: All we've had is rain.

[StoneHenge]

My daughter was really unhappy when her's was one of only two schools not closed today!
It is still snpwing here, but it's not really settling now after the initial burst. Bloomin vold though!

The ducks are loving it, and my favourite (chalky) we can't even see as he's so white!

[Omega]

Well we woke up to snow, but not much at all. Been snowing all morning but not those lovely big flakes we used to see. Now the sun is coming out and its melting and becoming slushy ;)

Love the piccies magpie you certainly seem to have a lot there, :cold: Makes me feel cold!!!! http://bestsmileys.com/winter/19.gif hope your snowman looks like this :lol:

[Milano]

:( Snow in the midlands still falling and getting quite bad, got 2 kids at home, primary school shut, my son is at school in the next town and has just text to say the buses aren't running and they are closing at 2.30 so i have to pick him up, will also need to pick hubby up as he is in next town in opposite direction and my daughter is at a school over 20miles away via motorway and she is now texting every 5mins begging me to pick her up as she doesn't want to wait for the coach at 4pm which by then may be cancelled anyway. arrgh. Now trying to find a babysitter so i don't have to take the younger 2 with me as I know i'm going to end up having an accident and would rather they weren't in the car.

On the plus side, took the younger 2 to a local wood first thing before it got so bad and we had a great time and have some lovely pics. :rolleyes:

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

Now trying to find a babysitter so i don't have to take the younger 2 with me as I know i'm going to end up having an accident and would rather they weren't in the car.[/b]

:no: no you're not, you are going to get there and back safely :yes:

[Beth]

:lol: @ ice age, I guess we have nothing better to talk about! :lol:

hardly a smattering of snow here although we have been warned to get some later :cold:

[Milano]

I've contacted my son's school direct, and they tell me they have no plans on closing early, they have just cancelled session 3 with starts at 4pm so no idea where he got that info from, must be wishful thinking. And they tell me they expect the buses to be running normally by then, can't see how its coming really heavy still. My daughters coach is still running, have to decide what is safer, her on the coach or me driving there and back. Think i will trust her to the coach driver as i'm sure his driving skills are better than mine plus in an accident think a coach would come off better than my little car. Still have to fetch hubby though.

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

:wow: its homer :lol:

thats excellent :thumbs: :clap2:

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

raining here now, i was gonna make a snowlady when i got home but it will all be gone by then :(

Edited to say: not my snowthing but the kids of course..lol

Spot the dalmation? I thought it was funny too!! :)

[sammie]

that was brilliant, did you spot him, i didnt :lol:

[tortoise]

About 2 inches where I am, but worse further into town as we are on low ground.

It had melted and started sleeting by midday though! The schools were closed, don't know why as all the main roads were clear and our estate wasn't too bad either. The parents managed to get their kids over the park!

Very, very cold though. :cold:

[rb2002]

Our snow was all gone before lunch :(
Funny thing at work though. No-one could se the parking spaces in the car park so we were trying to judge it. I left tonight and everyone was parked perfectly in every bay :lol: Most had parked better than usual.

[Annabel]

lol @ rb! the roads were the best for ages on the way home, people taking care and not driving like loonies got home in half the time it usualy takes me B)

[Sparrow]

More snow coming according to the BBC news website!

Still sleeting here and its gone very cold :( Im still thawing out from the school run - the infants come out at half 3 and the juniors at 3.40pm (i got one infant 1 juniors!)and when its cold and wet that ten minutes feels like forever :sad: Ive got three pairs of socks on my feet and they are still like ice!!

snowed all day for the second day here today, and it took my daughter 3hrs 40mins to get home from school, usually takes 20mins. My brother and his girlfriend can't get home at all. the roads by them are completely blocked so they have had to stay at a friends. serves them right for moving to a barn conversion in the middle of nowhere lol.

A new EU directive has arrived, NO more can we make all WHITE SNOWMEN. This is sexist and racist. In future SNOWWOMEN and ethnic snowmen must be included in any collection of snowmen. Government inspectors will be out, spying in your area, please check your gardens to see if you have the correct mix of snowpersons.

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

any snowperson made in my garden would be piebald, is that allowed? :rolleyes:
