Dos_Box Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 It's great!! I am Loving the snow!! just wish I wasn't in work so I could enjoy it!! Snow ball fight at lunch time!!!!! Yeah, we had more snow overnight, and possibly more to come. I have a 4x4 and had to do an Argos run for ourselves and the neighbours before I came in to work, as many cars can't get off the estate because of the compacted snow and ice on the roads and we have severals hills to go up!
SteveBentley Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Just had a very heavy show shower here which wasn't forecast at all.
elsiegee40 Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Snow missed us by about 2 miles last night. Still got a couple of inches unthawed from end of last week. Pavements around the town are lethal as they are completely untreated. I've burned off my Christams dinner in advance by spending a couple of hours chipping sheet ice of our drive (shared with 2 other houses) as it was very difficult to get up the slight slope on it, especially on foot.
localzuk Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Snow missed us by about 2 miles last night. Still got a couple of inches unthawed from end of last week. Snow missed us by what seems like 20 meters. Everywhere gets snow but here.
laserblazer Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Left for the airport at 3am this morning. Freezing fog, snow and we had no idea if our flight would be cancelled again. But I've just taken the kids to the beach and we had a drink on the terrace as the sun went down.

laserblazer Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Chucking it down today but still warm enough for a light fleece. Just hoping th rain will ease off so I can get some last minute shopping.
6Foot2 Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) It has been bad but it is worse in the Mid-West of America: Massive Christmas winter storm arrives in US Midwest BTW: Is "humongous" an "acceptable" word for BBC News do you think? Edited December 24, 2009 by 6Foot2
john Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Well its continued to Snow here and freeze the you know what's off, the car parks at work were ploughed on Tuesday and are as deep again today! That's scary!!! But on a positive note the traction control on my VW is good, it helped me get up the hill back to the main road this morning so I could get to work without being towed to up the hill to the main road I got the last minute shopping and then got home to find the UPS man had delivered the last of my gifts for people, ace German efficiency too less than 24hrs to get from one side of German to the UK then 3 days from Milton Keynes to my House here in Yorkshire!
john Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Thought I would BUMP this thread today, seen as I got a new alarm clock at 6:30 this morning to say we are CLOSED due to the snow here today! Anyone else get this news today?
leco Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Still waiting for the call but not holding my breath.
6Foot2 Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 I wish. You might get your wish yet. The met office has weather warnings out for pretty much the whole country: Met Office: UK: severe weather warnings
EvLPhenom Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 I wish. Me too...all i know is that its bloody cold here...according to bbc and met office we are in for some snow here but not til this afternoon... well if it does come i can keep my fingers crossed for tomorrow...
localzuk Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 We seem to have had some snow, feels more like a heavy frost though. Maybe 2mm of snow, lol.
e_g_r Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Closed but not informed until after the time i would usualy set out. Didn't set out as any fool could see that that amount of snow would mean closure. Feel sorry for anyone who set off earlier to battle their way into school only to find it closed.
sonic1485 Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 According to the beeb it's supposed to be snowing in Birmingham now. It isn't though so I am in work If we get snow later it will be a nightmare to get back home on the M6!

broc Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 We were closed yesterday due to snow & other problems, open again today as we only had another 2-3 cm snow overnight. I think the weather front is moving south now
kevbaz Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) Snowing here in plymouth right now, a few staff living in north devon or cornwall havent made it in... also i find the bbc weather to be highy inacurrate so i always use metcheck.. http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=pl3 Edited January 5, 2010 by kevbaz
this_is_gav Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) Snowed overnight again in Northumberland, so we're closed in Seahouses. (You have to be excited for your first post to be a "yes! we're closed" one) //edit: Kev, a bit difficult to use that site at the moment as it appears to be down, presumably through the sheer load of excited and/or hopeful employees across the country!

BJC Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Just started snowing here (Kinver, Stourbridge). Fingers Crossed it continues.
laserblazer Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Just started snowing here (Kinver, Stourbridge). Fingers Crossed it continues. Can you keep us updated. We have a few teachers live that way. There were just a few flakes here.
witch Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 It seems to be coming from the West. We are fine here but teachers who live over that way in Dorchester or Weymouth are keeping a close eye on the situation.
