So is the snow and bad weather going to turn up

[FussyElmo]

Whats the betting it misses us as it usually does.

If it snows I want proper snow not a dusting of the stuff :thumbsup:

Oh and if it snows lots I would have to miss dancing so would get a lie in and able to watch saturday kitchen - thats it I have jinxed it :laughing::laughing::laughing:

[silvermist]

I really love snow and want to get a good amount, I always feel a bit cheated if we only get a small dusting! Bring it on I say! :D:D

[Bananabrain]

I'm in the south east and it's meant to come Mon eve.
We have a long running joke in our house as a few years ago we were travelling and I suggested taking flasks etc as snow was forcast. My husband just said 'you worry too much.'
Suffice it to say, he ate those words!
It took us 6 hours to get home. Should have been 40 mins:laughing:

[cathtee]

It can snow as much as it likes as long as they DON'T shut the schools :laughing:

[bibi571]

I hate the snow and they always end up closing theschools!!!!!!

[FussyElmo]

Our primary school hasnt shut in 3 years - think the head mistress prides herself on being the only school open :rolleyes:

I want to go sledging :laughing:

[bunyip]

Snow is one of the few things I love whilst everyone else seems to moan about it. Obviously the flipside to my usual Grinchiness. (Does that make me a schizonophrenic grinch).

I want proper snow that's good for sledging, snowmen, snow angels, etc. Not the pathetic 1/4 inch deep stuff or the type that's no good for snowballs.

The only bit I dislike is the slushy phase and when the thaw reveals a few weeks of previously hideden accumulated dog poo. :p

Lol, I hate it when it starts to thaw and looks all brown and sludgy. I still find it completely irresistable to run around making tracks on a fresh bit of snow. My kids are like "Mum, what the heck are you doing? You're nearly 50!"

Ahh never mind that get over here and have a go! I love it! xx

Untouched snow is up there with bublewrap - it has to be walked on/popped :thumbsup:

Dog pooh that one thing that will nearly always make me rant. If you have a dog then pick it up simples :thumbsup:

But nice to see the grinch actually confessing to liking something. Balance is restored :D

[cindyn207]

i hope so, want to take my lo sledg:)::):)

[cindyn207]

sledging lol

[FussyElmo]

sledging lol

You were that excited over the thought of going sledging :laughing::laughing:

[bunyip]

But nice to see the grinch actually confessing to liking something. Balance is restored :D

Yeah, OK. But it doesn't mean the revolution has been cancelled. :rolleyes:

[SammyL]

LOVE the snow...have my snow boots, coat, sledge etc ready! :)

But it will prob miss us as per usual :(

[FussyElmo]

Yeah, OK. But it doesn't mean the revolution has been cancelled. :rolleyes:

I should hope not!!!!!!! But just remember my marching boots are not snowboots. Yes I would be a fairweather revolutionary :laughing::laughing:

[cathtee]

Yeah, OK. But it doesn't mean the revolution has been cancelled. :rolleyes:

go on admit it your a softie really :laughing:

[TAZ]

My son was hoping for snow tomorrow (as forecast earlier in the week) as it's his birthday party (5) and he thought they could all go out & play in the snow!!:laughing:

[mushpea]

I WANT SNOW
I love it and also have to go in the fresh snow lol, hat it when it turns to slush though.
The last time we had it u hoped in the sledge first and off I went, kids face were a picture lol

[FussyElmo]

Well no snow here - boo hiss. I knew it anyone else had any yet :thumbsup:

[shortstuff]

Raining here not snowing :-(

[Ripeberry]

Currently there is a 'warm sector' mixed in so that's why some places are getting rain. Just not cold enough high up. BUT any snow will start falling from tonight onwards with flurries most of Sunday and maybe some proper snow on Monday.
But it changes all the time and even the weather forecasters can't predict snow that accurately.
Just don't expect it and it might happen! :thumbsup:

[Ripeberry]

When we don't get any snow, we always head for the Brecon Beacons to get our fix of sledging, making snowmen and being in snow. For the last two years even the mountains have had hardly any snow :(

[LauraS]

We were on holiday for three weeks over Christmas 2010 when apparently we had about two feet of snow and our car was buried in a snowdrift on the drive.

I love snow and.still feel cheated at having missed the 'proper' stuff.

Can't wait, fingers crossed!

[Dragonfly]

I'm in the south east we don't usually get a lot of snow.THE OLDER I GET THE MORE I DONT WANT ANY::(

[AliceK]

It's been trying all day here, we've had the odd light flurry. It's so cold, that wind is freezing. I think the last I heard we were due some significant snow on Monday. That's no good for me if I can't push the double buggy in it to do school / nursery runs. Oh well, will wait and see what happens.

[hectors house]

Just got back from a week of ski-ing in France - hope it does snow here soon, before I pack my thermals and salopettes back into the attic - we couldn't ski yesterday because there was too much snow and it wasn't any good for making snowballs or a snowman either, but I did enjoy doing snow angels much to the disgust and embarrassment of my 17 year old daughter!

We had to come down a steep hill with 21 bends (they use it sometimes for tour de france hill section) at 5 am this morning in the transfer coach, the snow plough had been up but hill was still icy, coach managed it easily, had to wait at airport while they defrosted the wings of the plane but we only took off 20 mins late - this country would have just ground to a halt.

[mushpea]

its blinking freezing here tonight, all my rabbits and piggys have so much straw they can just about get in their beds but at least they will be warm :laughing:
I love the snow but then its a pain cause my partner can't go to work as hes a builder so then I have to put up with him being home with the grumps cause hed rather be at work :rolleyes:

Its cold here too not sure what temp it is but I bedded the chickens down really well too just in case :thumbsup:

[Ripeberry]

Most of Wales and the South West are missing the snow. Non event here.

[FussyElmo]

Nothing here neither :(

Just a nice frost

[sandy64]

a very white and freezing morning here but no snow it may still come this week cant wait to do snow angels lol im such a big kid:):laughing::laughing:

[bunyip]

Yay. We have snow. :jump for joy:

OK, it's just a thin layer and no good for playing in, but it looks so pretty. :)

The great thing about this job is that you can enjoy the snow and work with little people who also enjoy the snow. Such a refreshing change from the miserable passengers who used to moan all the time cos of a few delayed or cancelled trains.

[lizduncan72]

Snowing lightly here-kids (and me!!) hoping it gets heavier soon :)

[FussyElmo]

OOOOOh you are not that far from me so it might be heading this way - but it probably wont be :thumbsup:

[caz3007]

We have nothing here on the south coast and there wasnt a frost either. I went out last night and walked home about 10.30 and had gone prepared with scarf, gloves etc and didnt need them, it wasnt that cold

[FussyElmo]

We are currently having a tiny splatter - anyone else?

[cathtee]

Nothing in Birmingham, no school closures:clapping::clapping:

[AgentTink]

Here in Liverpool it keeps having little flurries of snow but not enough to stick. Wonder what the night will bring....

[Kiddleywinks]

Fits n starts here, I do love the snow, but am hoping it doesn't overnight as I've got to do a collection at 7am and don't want to be one of the first on the road :panic:
Knowing my luck I'll go and get stuck somewhere lol

[lilac_dragon]

Ahh never mind that get over here and have a go! I love it! xx

I'm 61 and I still do it too!! And snow angels - except that I now find it a bit difficult to get back up:blush::blush::blush:

[bunyip]

We've still got a few patches left on the ground. I found an excuse to go to the allotment just so I could potter about in it.

More forecast for tonight. Do Mothercare sell tyre chains for pushchairs? I have a new starter this week :excited: and don't want to be late on day one.

[mushpea]

nothing here in essex yet, forecast sleet and rain here though my son is most disapointed

[linzi133]

Nothing in south Northumberland..... I am on the coast so we don't get as much as other areas do anyway, but no sign yet!

[loocyloo]

nothing in north yorkshire ... well, not my bit! DS was playing football today just down the coast from scarborough and it was snowing as they were playing !!! but not enough to settle on the pitch!

its freezing here though, the cars are already covered in ice and the pavement & roads look really pretty & glittery!

we are due some snow overnight with a massive 'dump' mid afternoon - just in time for the school run :rolleyes: :laughing:

[charleyfarley]

Our primary school hasnt shut in 3 years - think the head mistress prides herself on being the only school open :rolleyes:

I want to go sledging :laughing:

She must be married to our headmaster cos he always stays open too, well closed for 1 day in 8 years since I've lived here. All the other local schools are closed for days and I'm talking High Schools too.

Well we have the dreaded white stuff now, hopefully it'll stop but we have our snow boots at the ready for the morning :laughing:

Carol xx

[linzi133]

Eee forget spring watch.......,, we've our very own snow watch!!! Ha ha

[LauraS]

The tiniest little spit of snow a couple of hours ago - so light that it took the eagle eyes of an excited six year old to notice it!

It barely even marked the pavement :(

[cathtee]

:confused: We have snow on my side of the road and non on the other :huh: not much though will be up and down all night with
anticipation :laughing:

[SYLVIA]

None of the white stuff here in Kent yet. Different forecasts are saying yes and some saying no for snow here tomorrow. It is very cold though. Will get ready for school 10 mins early tomorrow to get hats, scarves and gloves on all those little ones!

[linzi133]

It's raining here so not sure we'll have snow that lies ! :(

[LauraS]

Just gone to make tea and out of the window we have... Snow!

It's already gone from the road but is on the front garden, car and pavements woohooooo!

In west mids, by the way

[TAZ]

No snow here yet but due to start in the very early hours of the morning and keep going all day...:clapping:

[Daisy De]

We have a covering in Wiltshire but paths and roads are clear.

[sandy64]

[linzi133]

No snow here!

[leeanne910]

Snow here today. But a pathetic amount when i woke so is all slushy! Its snowing now...but i think its all too wet!! :( no snow day today!!

[rickysmiths]

We have had a dusting of snow but the roads are clear. They are forecasting more from around 1pm until early evening so we shall see. I have sent ds tro school with walking boots, waterproof trousers hat and gloves in case he has to walk home :)

[leeanne910]

** poor son must be freezing his nerners off lol they had to dress up as a scientist either stereotypical or a scientist in workplace like a doctor or vet etc....and his outfit is thin...tried to wrap him up as much as i could bless lol

Edit to say it is censoring the word m y ..how wierd

[silvermist]

No snow here in Norfolk although it is trying. The sky looks full of it so hopefully we will get some later. Although I have a school pick up later down country lanes so maybe its better if it comes after Ive done that xxx

[leeanne910]

Just gone to make tea and out of the window we have... Snow!

It's already gone from the road but is on the front garden, car and pavements woohooooo!

In west mids, by the way

Im in west mids too :) it came down thick last night and now....slushy

[FussyElmo]

It started to snow again here - come on mr weather gods me and ** children want to make snowman and go sledging :thumbsup:

A woman thought the path was slippery because I was walking on the grass - mmm she looked a bit unsuprised when I said no its because its untouched snow :laughing::laughing::laughing:

[AliceK]

We had a bit in the night although roads are okay. It's been lightly snowing on and off this morning but apparently the heavy stuff is due this afternoon and tonight. My children were very disappointed that there wasn't enough snow for me to decide not to do the school run :laughing:

xxx

[Loushah]

It's snowing in the west mid's again and it's coming down pretty heavy...would you take two 1 year olds and a 2 year old in the back garden to play in it????

Part of me is thinking how much fun it would be for them but it would be very cold and wet....what do I do???

[leeanne910]

If they have a change of clothes or waterproofs get out there snow is magical and fun and we dont get lots. Wish mine were not at school :thumbsup:

[Loushah]

Yeah got spare clothes for them, you have convinced me...going to take the plunge and get them all ready to go out....I may regret this :-)

[bunyip]

Had about an inch overnight and now coming down again. Nearly didn't sleep cos I was staring out the window at it until after midnight with NFL play-offs on the radio (you make your own excitement in an East Midlands village :rolleyes:) which was possibly a bad idea, as I had a new starter today - my 1st proper paying schoolie. His parents were nervous about him walking to school, but he loved it. Mum messaged me: anxious in case school closes, which they seem to do at the least excuse. I've calmed her and said I'll collect early if required.

Such fun. :clapping:

[bunyip]

Quick tip. :idea:

If your lo's get too wet and cold outside, then bring some into the kitchen to continue playing. A bucketful of snow will stay frozen for ages in a metal sink. Add glitter and food colouring, and give them lots of utensils, spoons, sieves, containers, etc. Aprons needed, and make sure they know it has to stay in the sink at all times.

Enjoy. :jump for joy:

[leeanne910]

Bunyip thats ammmaaazzziiiiinnnggggggggggggg i have a "play bowl" so will prob use that so.its to.tjs level....wooo

[bunyip]

Risk assessed: leave the yellow snow outside. :p

[caz3007]

Our snow has nearly gone and its raining. I am glad cos I have to walk along an alley to the school and it becomes like an ice rink. So glad will only get wet on the school run later and not end up falling over

[Loushah]

Well took the three little ones out in the snow and made a mini snowman (not that much snow)....the little ones had fun but they did get wet, so had a lot of changing to do when I got in.
