elsiegee40 Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Deep joy Met Office: UK: severe weather warnings
jamesfed Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Can't wait - we haven't had any school closures (besides teachers strike) since I put in the new VPN and can't wait to see how it handles it's self 1
elsiegee40 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 Doubt the snow'll be that deep. It doesn't need to be that deep in Kent to stuff the roads and railway. As a Yorkshire lass, I find it very frustrating.
Sylv3r Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Surprisingly we appear to be missing the snow, this time around.
6Foot2 Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Snow closures represent an opportunity for me. During all of the snow closures since I started working in school I have been able to get in. On those days [without students and staff around] I have been able to do so much more work that on other days. So yes deep joy.
CAM Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 It doesn't need to be that deep in Kent to stuff the roads and railway. As a Yorkshire lass, I find it very frustrating. I am hoping Surrey clear the roads properly this time round.

teejay Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Can't wait - we haven't had any school closures (besides teachers strike) since I put in the new VPN and can't wait to see how it handles it's self Should manage fine, most solutions can cope with the 3 keen teachers who will remote in, the rest will be building snowmen with their kids/watching daytime TV/whatever else teachers do:p 1

Snowmen won't work either! I don't think it's going to come to that fortunately.
witch Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 *sigh* We won't get any. The warning map on the weather forecast last night showed a big yellow patch moving across from West to East but if you looked carefully, it didn't quite make it to the bottom of the country -we are just up from and left a bit from the Isle of Wight
sonofsanta Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Should manage fine, most solutions can cope with the 3 keen teachers who will remote in, the rest will be building snowmen with their kids/watching daytime TV/whatever else teachers do:p I only had one snow day in all my years of being educated, when I was in Lower 6th/Year 12. As such, I did what all sensible sixth formers do in the event of a snow day and went down Wetherspoons. It was like walking into my school staff room. Couple of days of light covering here but not enough to cause any drama, not like last December. Actually quite relieved... snow makes the hour's journey even scarier, and if school closed and I stayed home I'd be expected to help pack everything up in preparation for the building work at home. No rest for the wicked!
Earthling Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 February, already, and we haven't had a Snow-Day yet. Think I'll write to my MP.
localzuk Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Sucks that the snow is going to be afternoon/evening. Means I won't be able to get out in the morning and take some nice snowy scene pictures as it'll all be gone by then.
Dos_Box Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) We are due heavy snow for a couple of hours tomorrow afternoon turning to drizzle and rain later, but at least the kids can have a run around in snow for a bit Edited February 3, 2012 by Dos_Box
elsiegee40 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Posted February 3, 2012 We are due heavy snow for a couple of hours tomorrow afternoon turnign to drizzle and rain later, but at least the kids can have a run around in snow for a bit Mine had too much of a good thing last year with snow... both are fervently hoping it won't I'm hoping it'll hold off long enough for husband's plane to land at Heathrow tomorrow and then snow hard enough to stop me visiting the in-laws on Sunday
X-13 Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 I'm hoping it'll hold off long enough for husband's plane to land at Heathrow tomorrow and then snow hard enough to stop me visiting the in-laws on Sunday Now you've said this, it'll be the opposite.
CAM Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 So far no snow for me, only freezing windscreen washers that turn to ice when I use them and stopping me from removing the frozen traffic film streaking across the windscreen.

Husband home safely. Trip to in-laws scrapped
synaesthesia Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Good few inches here. Just been out for a drive to the main road though, it's doable. Damn cold though, and difficult to get around an abandoned van half way up the street!
Soulfish Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Well I've just looked out my window and we've got a good 4-5 inches of snow sitting outside. Now the question is, is it staying until tomorrow or melting??
Dos_Box Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Bah! Nothing here. It 'snowed' ice yesterday, and now it's very foggy. We took the kids to Clitheroe yesterday, at least they had snow
glennda Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 We have about an inch of snow - which compared to last year's 12 is nout!
bodminman Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Just been watching Sky News and if you were watching it you would think again about buying a BMW. Most of the cars that were stranded in the video clips were fairly new BMW's. At one point there were 3 of them in a row just off a hard shoulder!
