Dos_Box Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 At last, we in Preston get to enjoy the nice fluffy white stuff http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=3182 Is anyone else expecting a flurry this weekend?
Oops_my_bad Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 That's the country grinding to a halt then
FN-GM Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 I hope not, there is nothing worse that half melted slushy snow. Dont i sound like an old fart

leco Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 That's the country grinding to a halt then No, no, the country only grinds to a halt if the snow hits THE SOUTH:-)
tech_guy Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Please please please let it snow. It'd be great to spend Monday in bed watching crap tv and remoting in to do work.
Pete10141748 Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Yup! We've been forcasted for "Heavy snow" on Sunday. Mind you, last time Heavy Snow was forecast, we ended up with clear skies! It WOULD be nice to have a day off on Monday cosof it though - especially with it being the last week before half-term here! Pete
dezt Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 We're forcast snow here, min temp. is -6 at night on Friday, I hope it does snow, i like the snow.....
eduabncs Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 No, no, the country only grinds to a halt if the snow hits THE SOUTH:-) Ah..yes but then the question becomes south where...???
Gatt Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 looks like the snow is coming to Rochdale WooHoo! Hayley and I love snow. and Daniel ain't seen it yet
localzuk Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Pff! We aren't gonna get any down here. Just some hail. Why do I keep moving to places that never get snow? The Isle of Man, Lancaster, Minehead? They're all snowless wonders. I think I will move inland next time. *Grumbles to himself*
Sirbendy Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 it's threatening in telford as well, for Friday. Yippee...not...it'd be yippee if I wasn't driving. Last time, the head stated "we'll stay open, no matter what"...it took me 3 hours to do the 10 minute run home (live in a valley). Gritting, no. Clearing, no. Abandoned cars everywhere? oh yes. I don't mind the actual driving..I used to go and see the missus on those days where it was "don't go out unless absolutely necessary" on the radio...abandoned roads and heavy snow makes for fun. It's other drivers..skidding, wheelspinning and sliding all over the shop...so many younger drivers out there have little or no experience of snow driving..I saw so many sliding backwards around roundabouts and playing dodgems... Snow mode proved it's worth there...no wheelspin for me! Heh. Doesn't help the road to my flat is subsiding badly, and it's like a multi-camber rally course with a sheer drop on one side into the river.. I'd like to see the cats reaction to his first snow though..that could be fun.
rhyds Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 We're apparently getting it on friday. In a somewhat handy twist of fate my new alfa with it's ABS and wide tyres is broken at the mo, and I'm relegated to the unstoppable snowmobile that is my Metro 1100
Gatt Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 According to AccuWeather - we got sh*t loads coming
Pumaedition Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 sunday for us here apparently...Monday off would be cool....but I doubt it will snow that badly. Gonna be bloody chilly for football on saturday though...MAXIMUM of 1 degrees!!
MrB Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 We have been told that if it snows and the Head closes the school Pupils do not have to come in, Teachers stop at home and work (Yeah right) but the Support staff have to come in and do their hours. as I live 20 miles away and travel along country A roads that should be fun!!!

If you can't safely get in then don't even try. There is no point risking accidents just to go to an empty building.
K.C.Leblanc Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I'm ment to be getting a bit on Friday, I'll belive it when it happens. I think I'll have to relocate to an alpins ski lodge.
SpuffMonkey Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Please no snow on Friday - got to drive to Harrow for an 8:30 hospital appointment...
contink Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I'd like to see the cats reaction to his first snow though..that could be fun. ... Remember that day with our littlest, Charlie.. Think it was something like "Dammmit cooooold, gerritoff!!!"
PEO Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 live near the sea. so i dont think it will affect us much when we get snow on sunday. Still it means i can make me self a hot chocolate and put me feet up to watch the 6 nations this weekend
witch Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 If we are lucky, we'll get rain (now that'll be a change!) It's hard living down here in the effete south
