Snow

[H]

I hope those of you who were out and about this evening all got home safely. I had a bit of skate luckily I was driving so slowly due to the conditions that I managed to keep control of the car. I know of a number of accident locally. I just wish you all a safe journey if you have been out tonight!

[Q]

I heard on the radio that it was coming in from the east...
.. I was hoping that Sav might hold on to it but obviously its 'slipped' through.

Please keep it over your way, its feeling cold enough here after my 30C of earlier this week
;D

Not much here so far, just a slight covering, but frozen hard.

Be all the usual idiots on the road in the morning who could not take note of the forecast and get up a bit earlier.

Sav.

It's snowing quite heavily on the north side of the South Downs above Brighton, but there has only been an inch of two in Brighton itself so far.

Forecast says to expect up to 6 inches overnight here..... that will make the trip into work very interesting in the morning.... ::)

[ponytailguy]

its about 5 inches thick in redhill took me bout 45mins to get out of red hill sliding everywhere
drive safe all

[Q]

Its dry here in Cornwall presently, -3.2C with a bitter easternly wind making it feel like -10C

We have an inch of snow settled in Crawley. 2 inches reported a couple of hours ago in Merstham.

Counted six skids on the way back from Worthing, very unpleasant driving between Buck Barn and Southwater, 20mph maximum speed.

Hope everyone else out tonight got home safely.

Well the car is already under what appears to be a mound of snow and its only been parked up for just over an hour!

[Chris_Sav]

We were supposed to be in the firing line for snowfall and not a flake overnight here, thoght I was in for a day off!!

Well, the weathermen were correct...... for once....... at least 6 inches of snow on the ground and, looking up at the sky, quite a bit more to come!! :o

The dogs are loving it...... both chasing each other around the garden with the snow flying everywhere! 8-) ;D

It looks like it could be a day of working from home for me....... ;)

..... obviously the roads not passable to get to work, although I'm sure that they will be fine by the time we have to go out to play our match tonight!! ;D ;D ;D

We have Cats and they are doing the same 8-) :)

No work for me today! Yipee ;D ;D It took me 2 hours to get from the Albion, over to Nigels at Woodingdean, back to home :o I now have one problem :o I got stuck and had to reverse up the hill by the albion, I now have NO thread on my front tires :o which made the speed humps like mountains for me ;D ;D

I was also outside smoking whilst Brighton 'B' were playing Redhill and helped a car turn round outside the pub by pushing it of the curb as it was sliding.
The owner of the vehical come into the pub shortly after to by my a drink for the help i gave them. 8-) ;) (Please note because of the snow i declined their offer, But was really chuffed they appreciated the help and offered) ;)

[BB Warrior]

Yes, I would imagine that it would have been quite exciting ( :o) trying to get a car up and down the hill by the Albion pub last night, glad that I don't live around there in weather like this!! ;D

The main roads look okay (from the bedroom window!) but no cars are moving on the side roads that we live on and I was starting to slide the car last night just getting it into the driveway...... 6 inches of snow later I'm not sure that I want to try to get it out this morning! :-/

My college is called off, plus my boss can't get to work.

So effectivly day off.

I'll post some pics in a minute.

Just some pics I took of my area.
Don't know why the forum has shrunk the pics??

Well its just a white here. Just glad we have central heating and a kettle!

[Julian Dale]

At the moment, from my view of St Ives town centre, there's barely enough snow on the ground to make a snowball!!

I'm not that far away from you and it's pretty heavy at the moment.

[Julian Dale]

I'm still wondering where all this snow is... I'm sure lots has fallen during the course of the day (it's like a light drizzle), but barely any has settled!

[ponytailguy]

it was a foot deep in burgess today great fun watching the cars slide about on my WALK to work over 2 miles away have fun all drive safe

[Q]

This is what I woke up to this morning.
It may not be much compared to the rest of you but locals reckon that its 10 years since snow last settled here.

At least your tenants will be nice and warm, Q, as they all have fur coats. ;)

[CraigC]

The forecast for most of the country is heavy snow on the way.

The forecast for here in Dover (where we had - gosh - a heavy frost this morning) is heavy rain and temperatures up to 7c.

[iang]

Has the MR2 taken route yet ??
;D

[Q]

I've got a guy interested in it, but nothing is selling at the moment :(

[Colemanator]

It's over a foot deep here :o I'm going to walk to work, I might be the only one there ;D

kinnell moderating Colemanator :o I've told you a million times to stop exaggerating ;) my Ma-in Law lives next door to you and reckons it's about 2 inches so I shan't ask you how big you think your manhood is :o :o :o .....no REALLY I don't want to know but I'm guessing in your eyes it's at least a foot ;D ;D :-*

You could say that the Colemanator's attempts at measurement were rather indiscriminate.
Some definite Tart Points earned there methinks. ;D
