View Full Version : Snow. Snow. And some more snow.
I imagine there will be a lot of people snowed in tomorrow.
Suppose that's good for people who have to get up for work in the morning... its a good excuse to be late!
But for those poor sods working now, I hope we can make it home in the morning!
What's it like where you are? Snow here is already up to over my shoes and I can't make out the road or the pavement. Bums.

ITS SO MUCH SNOW :P Ahh I've been so excited about this all day :)
I think it's good because some of us can make lots of excuses for not coming into college tomorrow :D heheheheheh :) and we hardly ever get snow.. >.> But I suppose it's bad for those that need to travel through the snow.. :s I hope people can get home! :(
BUT YEAH SNOWWW!!
/me throws snowballs at everyone!
Everything looks so perty. If I wasn't stuck here, I'd be in the same mood as you Sorsie!
I might go out and make a snowman in the car-park for all the corporate bods to marvel at on their arrival in the morning :D

We have a little bit of soft snow here in Surrey. My sister has just made a little snowman. She's even put a little hat, a carrot, two sticks for arms and little stones for the mouth on it. Luckily for me I don't have uni until the afternoon. Unluckily for me it's at 5pm :(
I still welcome the lovely snow, I just wish it would snow on Christmas Day.

Dude... where are you? I'm in Guildford right now and all I can see is snow!
As much as I love how good snow looks and all that, I have to go out tomorrow (and it's not for myself). It seems like we won't be able to drive in it so I might have to prepare for a walk of about 40 minutes in thick snow. Then there's the 40 minutes walk home. I guess I ought to find my gloves now... :/

I'm supposed to be driving my mother to the doctors in the next street tomorrow morning but looking at the snow out there right now I think I'll just hand her a shovel and go back to bed! No way I'm risking driving in it knowing the lunatics around here (other than me, obviously)
It's been some years since North London's had a blanket like this, least not that I recall, and it's great to just watch it falling. I love snow, always have, but preferably when viewed through glass :razz:
I figure my 20-25min drive is going to take well over an hour... tested the snow underfoot and its icey as hell. Hope Highways is on the ball, but even if they are I've seen the plough dude go past about 3 times... seems to settle as fast as they can clear it.

I can't believe I'm up at 4am o.0 and I'm not the only one storm :biggrin:
Thick snow outside here now. I would go outside and test the depth but it's 4am and it's gonna be very cold outside. It's not very often you get to look at settled snow. It looks very picturesque. I do love watching snow falling, but I feel for the Monday morning travellers going to work/school/college etc.
Its above my ankles... I should give up smoking, its bad for my trousers.
I don't imagine there will be many travellers to college, perhaps a few more going to work...
But I am sure as ♥♥♥♥ going to be travelling home. IF I can find my car that is!

Wow, the UK is getting some snow - and we don't have ANY! Ner ner!! I'm with TF, snow sucks.
Here's a little tip - if it's nighttime and snowing heavily, and the motorways are nice and not-icy, go out for a drive with your headlights on and with the light reflected off the snow coming at you really fast, it looks like you're going warp-speed :P
Seriously though - drive safe everyone. I'm guessing not many of you have 'winter tires' on your cars, so you could really skid in this weather. Be safe!

Okay, I've had my fun with the snow.. i.e. watching it from the bedroom window.
I now want it to melt. Beyond looking reeeeally pretty... I'm not a fan of it. Can't even get out now 'cause I already had a fractured foot.. don't want to fracture the other with just 7 weeks to go 'til lil nerdy makes an entrance, lol.
It's really deep here, as well. I suspect the slushy, mushy stuff is gonna be here for quite a few days once it starts melting. ARRGGH! Hate!

I think it's meant to be moving more north though?
I only fell over twice on my way to school this morning! :) I sometimes manage that without snow, just on a normal day :P:P But both times I caught myself, so yay. I tried to make a snow sculpture when I got home, too, but it wasn't as easy as I'd imagined. hehe. Still snowing quite a bit. :) It just looks nice. :)

I didn't go out in the snow (yet?) but I heard it wasn't that cold. I reckon all this snow is acting like a blanket/igloo :)
When it's cold I'm usually shivering in bed 'cause the attic's so cold but last night I was as snug as a bug even outside my duvet. Penguins have the right idea :razz:

I like snow but when you cant walk between buildings without people pelting you with snowballs, and it takes you over an hour to get home, takes the pisssss.

And yeah had so much snow fights. Every school/college etc in the area was closed. It's still been snowing today.. but it's not been as heavy (Although predicted to sleet/snow all night tonight) Eh.

Speaking of how it ends.. I was so tempted to punch the snowmen down just for lols :twisted:
Yeah we have looooooads of snow here. It's mad. In the morning out garden table had six inches of snow on it and now it has about eight inches. Went to Tesco by walk earlier this evening, it wasn't cold at all and really nice walking in fresh snow although there were slushy bits on main roads. I'm thinking about going for an early walk tomorrow morning when it's safer to walk about. It's really nice and everyone you see is in such a good mood!

Still got plenty of snow up in Yorkshire. We have loads of last weeks snow still around, and got more last night. Started snowing again a few hours ago too. Looks like another snow day and more sledging tomorrow. :)

We've had much rain here today. It's been pouring down all day.
Oh well at least Mr. Snowman still survives, even though his head has gone :cry:

Lol must have been better than my attempt at a snowman then. It fell down before I could even take a picture! Did make a pretty nifty igloo that's still standing though.

Lol, that igloo is awesome. Could you go inside? :biggrin:
Still snowing 'casionally here. There's a snowman in the garden :P
I think it's too small for me to fit inside (although I haven't actually tried - might try it tomorrow if I get bored!). I shoved my son inside though, although he wasn't too impressed as he really hates snow lol. I live with another kid here who is 6, and he has decided that it's the new snowy dog kennel and keeps shoving our puppy inside. I think the puppy hates it as much as my son does though lol.
LOL! That's funny. And the igloo is very cool!
Still no snow here, hehe... just windy enough to know the window boxes off the balcony.
Ahhh kids are still at school here today. A day of peace without the 6 year old here. The extra snow mostly melted overnight, so just the old sludge left over still! I'm sick of the snow now.. I'll send it over to Germany if you want, Vik? :P

You guys are so lucky.

Bugger. And it's only just started. We're not due any +°C this week, and snow is expected all weekend long. I hope it's not like January where we didn't see the ground almost all month...

Flakes now. :)
Before I saw snow for the first time, I was under the impression that it fell down in spherical balls.
When I actually did see snow for the first time, I was so surprised that the flakes looked more like confetti. x)

I was amazed the first time I saw snow too. I was driving through this really heavy rain....and all of a sudden everything went quiet, and the raindrops just started.....gently falling and settling on the car....and I realised it was snow! It's a pretty awesome feeling really.

The first time I saw snow (that I remember of) was when I was about 5 years old. My mum took a picture of me making a snow angel. You know, when you lay flat on your back and move your arms and legs sideways. Hee hee, the memories. I love the first few hours of snow, it's great fun. Playing in it is absolutely awesome but driving is another story.
You have some lovely piccies there, Vik. In the top picture from the front of your house, is that your front garden? The drain looks like a frozen waffle xD
LOL!
Actually, that's a pallet - I think that's what they are called - like what they store things on in warehouses. I don't know why it's there. It's not my front garden, it's part kids playground (the bit behind the trees to the left), part farmland (like.. see where the trees are which go from the middle to the right of the picture? In front of them there's some fence posts - well, beyond that is Sauerkraut country, lol) and the rest of it is just... meadow-type wasteland.
You can't see the front garden from the shot - it's taken from high up - but our front garden is in no way as massive as that :P
Every time i look outside now, I think of waffles :P

Wow... you have access to a meadow-type wasteland. That's so beautiful =]
/me imagines lying on the grass in a large meadow on a sunny/partially cloudy day reading a nice book. :siiiigh:

It's snowing like mad up here... I thought we were done with all this... just rushed to the shop to get loads of veggies to make home-made soup, bought some brown bread rolls too... gonna hide in the house and watch from the window only, lol.

Lol I agree with Sparry! :P
Damn him and his Azure blue sky-ing.. I saw that this morning and was like.. oh.. it'll be a nice day.. >.>
On the way back home I couldn't even see because of the snow.. O_o

Yeah, I've just seen the forecast for tomorrow. Apparently North East England is getting more snow tonight. We're not getting any, just as my cold disappears too :(

Its 10.39 pm in essex and the streets are filling with snow again, its coming down very hard and fast here, will be inches laid by morning.
So i suppose life will grind to a halt again tomorrow no banks open no buses ffs.
My neice, nephew, sister and b-i-l in Luton made a gant teddy bear of a snowman! It's better than my friend's snow cat thing I posted. Too bad I forgot to have them give me a copy :( It looked gigantic with my niece and nephew standing next to it too :o
