    Sorry, couldn't resist!!

    I'm kinda sad I'm missing the snow, snow is cool (for a few days at least). By the sounds of it, will be around when I get home anyway...

    People shouldn't drive in it if they don't feel safe to do so. Surprising how many people will head off to work regardless of conditions and then blame work for not closing that day. Surely people should take control of there own safety?!

    I know I always just get lifts to college when it snows, don't think I'll ever drive in it. I wouldn't know how to control a car in the snow so there no point in risking it. Love the walk to work in the snow though.

    I drive my office crazy when it snows! I just stare out of the window all day, giving them updates on how fast it's falling, how heavy it is, 'ooh another flake just hit the ground'!!

    Oh well at least it only snows a tiny bit here, if at all, so not too many days gazing into the white wonderland to distract me!

    I was so convinced it was snowing this morning, looked out of the window and saw white things falling that looked like snow - only for someone to tell me it was condensation stuff falling off the roof. :( I love staring out of the window when it snows - and even more when it starts sticking, everyone hates it because they are driving but I think it looks so nice.

    the only time i like snow is when i wake up in the morning on a day off and everything is white cause it snowed overnight (when i am tucked in warm in bed).

    I then put clothes on take my camera and go for a walk to take nice shots... and an hour later i come back home to a warm cuppa and watch a nice movie.

    Then the day goes by and the next morning i wake up everything is green again .....

    other than that i hate snow pretty much

    Had to pospone my (work) trip to Scarborough today - didn't really fancy getting stuck there and spending the night with his Lordship! Have rearranged for next month & just realised for the same day as the bad weather started last year, surely lighteneing or in this case snow won't strike in the same place twice?

    Long range weather is we could get this for a few weeks yet - something to do with position of jet stream :-(

    It does, it's so pretty! I love it when you wake up after a normal day before, and there is a blanket of snow on the ground! Especially when you are not used to it.. today for example, all i've been hearing on the radio is how its snowing everywhere- mass disruption- cars overturned- yet here we have had beautiful sunshine all day! Devon is pretty boring weather wise!

    I must say that my car did need de-icing this morning, but its not the same snow!

    Last year when it snowed a week before Christmas I remember thinking it was too early as it was bound to disappear before Christmas. How wrong could I be!?
    I must admit I do like seeing the snow, find it a bit exciting even when I am driving in it, if I'm not going too far. I prefer country roads to dual carraigeways, then I only have myself to worry about and not some idiot trying to pass me.

    Ideal weather - good frost and blue sunny skies.

    on the 17th december last year it was -19 here and the snow was about 2 foot deep - it was still here mid april.

    woke up this morning slight flurry, but -4. the cars are all frozen as it rained last night, so the roads are treacherous - lucky i walk to work

    Beautiful sunshine again today! Apart from the ToeNumbingFingerFreezingShiverInducing Frost and the fact we all have our heaters on in the office, you'd think it was a summers day!

    (I want Snow!!)

    Stop threatening with this Ice and Frost- Give us real snow to make snowmen with!

    Well I'm back home. It's a bit colder here than it was on holiday...

    It was -8.5 in the car when we got home at midnight last night! Frosty here this morning but no snow. Water pipes were frozen, had to go out with the hairdryer. And there's no milk for tea and I bet the landrover doesn't flippin' start either :lol:

    We had 3 inches overnight on top of the 4 inches on Friday night / Saturday morning. It's still snowing now but I've managed to walk to work - luckily I didn't need to drive coz even the main roads are bad! I'm meant to be at college (ACCA revision class) 28 miles away this afternoon but I'm not even gonna attempt to get there - don't want to be stuck there. I only hope I can get to my exams next week - have to travel over 50 miles!

    I know what it's like to miss them coz of the snow, happened to me 2 years ago PCR. Good luck for everyone trying to get to them this week.

    Edit - this is in North Yorkshire / Teesside.

    No snow here since Friday but it thawed and refroze leaving some nice icy patches on the roads. I'm glad I don't have exams this morning, it would be a tough call to go or not with icy rural roads and more snow overnight in the Truro area (where the college is) to contend with.

    Coming down like dinner plates here at the moment!
    -14 a few miles from here on saturday night, coldest November night in n yorks for 17 years. Lucky me has the week off, so catching up on work at home, thankfully not having to travel.
    Looks like a tesco online shop later on - if they can get into the village!
