Gandalph Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 How is every body enjoying the snow where you are. I cheesed off with the stuff up here. I have had to dig my way out every morning for five day's now. Here's a piccie of my wheelie bin in the back garden. The local Weather centre has put a warning out for 40 - 50 cm of the damned stuff to come down tonight. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bludgard Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Nary a drop 'round here.Weelie bin = Wheel barrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 A mere sprinkle round here, but it's bloody cold. It started the day off at 8 a.m. at minus 9. The highest today has been minus 2, and it is currently at minus 4. We had a lovely walk in sunny Burntwood earlier. There is an area of the national forest planted a few years ago. My new electric gloves kept the dreaded Reynard's at bay.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Certainly no snow here; autumn has just started, and the leaves are turning yellow. 16°C today, clear sky and bright sunshine.But there may be some snow this winter; we hadn't had any for three years...

D4\/!d Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 The only flakes I've seen were in my breakfast bowl.None of the white stuff here... 'sept a very thick frost and the sound of early morning drivers scrapping their windscreens while I was under our nice new duvet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Starting to get a bit dishuffed with it. Hadn't intended to take up snow shovbelling as a pastime this winter but am just in the process of digging myself out fo the forth time since last Thurs. fortunately, or otherwise I have a big drive - 120 ft x 50 and I have to clear the lot to get the car out. Starting to get messages from daughters about school closures, am already on schedule to collect the youngest for 3 pm. Must be the time of year or Global warming or summat.

Gandalph Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Here are a few more piccies I took this morning after another Dig-out. There was about fourteen inches fell through the night and it is still snowing. Took me 1 hour 45 Minutes, I was knackered. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 This one will give you an idea of how much I've moved since it all started. It's been in the region of 14 inches a day. They say the worst has to come next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The schools have been closed since last Monday up here. The buses come in from all over the Borders to get the kid's here in Duns. The roads around here are not the best in the World in the summer, very narrow and twisty. The local education committee called it a day for fear of the kid's safety.

Belatucadrus Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Well after a long weekend at Poole I'm back lurking in the midlands where there's a spattering of white bits but not a lot, we were due back tomorrow but weather forecasts looked rather manky and didn't fancy driving through it.
