Brrr...a chill in the air!!The first snow at this end of the year!
They said there would be snow over the Scottish mountains, must have slipped a little.

Your right herbiedax.I just let max out to toilet and it is very cold.I too forecast snow.Where we live in wales we hardly ever get snow but i think we might soon.I'm off out now.Catch you later
julie :-)

We had a very very very light snow shower on Monday, the flakes where floating down but I doubt anyone that wasn't out in it would have even known it snowed!

It says on the met office today that there are blizzard weather warnings on the borders of scotland and land over 500m high. I want some snow i love it, bout time we got a thick covering of it!!

Argh....it can snow from 3.00 Christmas eve afternoon and be cleared up before the kids go back to school (4/5th Jan)  I love snow, the kids love snow, and I much prefer walking the dogs in snow than in windy rainstorms (yuk)  but my 15 mile school run twice a day is hazerdous enough as it is without adding snow to the equation

Mind you, if the weathermen are correct then it's all irrelevant as the schools will be closed due to the 'big freeze' with temperatures going to -18 !!!  (forecast -4 for Isle of Wight tonight)  and they reckon that the solent could well freeze over aswell - cool, iceskating for free :)

Oh I can't wait. The dogs love it. :-)

I can wait Blue

My 2 love it also but I'm feeling my age today and every joint in my body seems to have seized up because of the bl**#y cold.

No matter where I look I can't find thermal clothes to buy locally. I asked in one shop and she said to me "och it's no' cold enough yet" :( :D

We woke up to a light dusting this morning. My youngest even mananged to scrape up enough snow for his first 3 snowballs of winter :D

LOL.. I am the same. Stiff as an old corpse :-D

My daughter is going Ski-ing easter time and I am trying to find all the clothes. So many different stuff I have not got a clue. Time for a ski thread :-)

oh.. you lucky devils we never get to see snow .....oh tell a lie half n hour last christmas ...he ..he.. he.. he..

ohhhhhhhhhh i'm sooooooooooooo jealous!!! I want snow!!! :(

*stamps feet and goes to the corner to sulk*

I love snow for looking at and for watching to boys play in-not for walking or driving in!  Nothing in Edinburgh- it's cold enough for it but blue skies apart from that! :)

I highly recomend Rohan trousers, they do some called 'icelanders' that have a fleecy lining and are LOVLEY for walking dogs when it is cold as they keep the cold out of your knees without rucking up like long johns and when it is really cold you can put over trousers over the top :D 

Nothing here in sunny Lancashire been a lovely day although very chilly, not seen the weather forcasts for northern England

Thats it I'm moving up north, I love the snow, so do the dogs. But we never seem to get any down south.

There was snow on them thar hills on the way to work this morning. Frost on the windscreen. I've got the coal fire on and I'm still cold! hope it snows soon, I could do with a few days off work ;)

That is our big problem with snow Lindylou, we live up on a mountain (well... practically a mountain!) but when it snows heavily we do get stuck up here, the road coming up is just too steep for a normal car/bus to get up, and I should imagine it would be blooming dangerous/silly/exciting to drive down it!!! :P We actually keep a box with some rice and other grains, tins of soup, and other essentials in case we get stuck for a while! :D

I'm lucky in that I live right beside the dual carriageway between Dundee and Aberdeen. I can always get out. Unfortunately (for my boss ;) ) I have to go on the smaller country roads to get to work. If the snow plough hasn' been out, or if it's too windy, then the road tends to get blocked in places (what a shame :D ) and I can't get to work. It's only happened a couple of times, but here's hoping :D :D :D

Parts of Angus get cut off by snow surprisingly early. My sisters inlaws live in Letham and it is always one of the first places to get snowed in, even worse than when they lived much further north in Aucterless. Still they think Dundee is far south having spent most of their lives on Shetland!

it was snowing here this morning (i'm about 15 minutes from Middlesbrough). I got up at 6.15am, and it was belting down. It didn't have chance to lay because it was too wet, but it was like the baltic when i stepped outside! One of the dogs took one look, turned round and just sat on the stairs looking as it do say "are you having a laugh?". I was like a snow-woman when i got back with the other one!

Well that little bit of snow we had here yesterday had gone by teatime, but this morning we are white over again with a bit more than we had yesterday. even the road has a layer this time. :)

Ooooooo......none here!!! :-( I want some!!!!! ;-)

No snow on the Isle of Wight but the whole of my side of the Island (bottom half) was white with a crisp covering of frost (it looked like a fine sprinkle of snow) - my blue car was white and my white hands were blue :) trying to defrost the windows, my car temperature guage was reading -2 degrees inside my car with the doors shut and the engine and heater running for 15 minutes so pretty cold !   The kids want snow so that the schools are shut as most teachers come from the other side of the Island and wont be able to get in if it's too bad - thats actually top of their christmas list LOL :D

I'm jealous, we are in Guisborough and altho we've had quite a few lovely crisp mornings over the past couple of days there's not been a hint of snow! I'll keep my fingers crossed tho, I just LOVE snow :D

when we where growing up lived in the middle of nowhere on a farm ,and we used to get cut off with the snow all the time, mum used to have what she called her emergency freezer and come the end of sept she used to start stocking up in the freezer extra bread and home made soups and joint frozen veggies etc, we used to miss school for sometimes over a week as we could not get out, but we loved it there was me and brother, and the farm hand kids that lived on the farm with there parents, and we all had a great time, we have got a pic of my dad, standing on the five bar gate he was standing on the five bar gate due to the fact that was how deep the snow was,when i was telling my kids they said you are lying the snow never gets that deep, so last time we visited their granny we went through all the pics and found it, we told them how we did not have central heating and the windows used to freeze on the inside and you used to have to rub a hole in the window frost to see how deep the snow was outside, and has any one noticed how in the morning if you lie in bed and listen to the outside noise you just know it has snowed as everything is quite.

>>as any one noticed how in the morning if you lie in bed and listen to the outside noise you just know it has snowed as everything is quite.

So true, everything is so peaceful and looks so perfect after it has snowed, magical :)

My mam talks about the times they used to get snowed in, she had to get the bus to college from Brotton to Redcar, when it snowed really bad Four Lane Ends would be closed as the snow had drifted right up the to the hedge-tops, amazing to think when I drive past there, snow drifts of 10-15 ft :D

I think when the snow reache's East Anglia this little tortoise will be hyberating Untill  May, Bar Humbug, horrid wet stuff that ices over and makes you fall over

But if I was 50 years younger I might think again
