Alan2273 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 In the Midlands they say we could have up to six inches, but as I took early retirement, I will sit in my nice warm house and watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 In the Midlands they say we could have up to six inches, but as I took early retirement, I will sit in my nice warm house and watch it.

Scarecrow Man Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 We're somewhere around 15 - 20 cm, according to the 'experts' but if you ask me there is a lot more than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 It started snowing here yesterday morning but it was a case of melting soon after it fell. Tonight though, it started again at about seven o'clock and has been snowing on and off since then. We have about three inches so far and it looks as though it will be here for a long time as temperatures are well into the minus range.

andsome Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 In the Midlands they say we could have up to six inches, but as I took early retirement, I will sit in my nice warm house and watch it. In South Staffs we have had about half an inch up till now, and it's 7-21 am. I hope the forecast was wrong. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I've just been listening to the on-going forecast. Overnight, we're set to freeze whatever snow has fallen. Bad driving conditions etc. etc.Tomorrow we were planning to drive into Cheshire, where our son lives. I think it will be a case of putting Plan B into operation. i.e. Stay in, keep warm and safe!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 There's about three inches here - it's all wet and slushy and revolting.Just taken the dog for his constitutional and he thinks it's wonderful - rolling about in it and playing like a puppy. I now have a very large soaking wet, freezing cold, dog to dry out and look after.If the temperature stays as it is, most likely all gone by evening.

It's still very cold and snowing worse than ever. Now about three inches deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thos Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 3 inches or so and still snowing. Been out for the paper and the main roads are passable but the forecast is below freezing temps leading to a dreadful prospect of icy ruts tomorrow. The rain will wash it all away and I can get back to my usual routine of idleness!Thos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
