So what do you reckon?
I think it could be quite bad?Even the weatherman from "The West Tonight" is staying in a hotel tonight in Bristol and he lives is Swindon!

I went out to the local post office earler and the number of cars waiting at the local petrol station was unbelivable.

It was as if there was just like the last time there was a fuel shortage.

So when the weather men bleet on that its going to be the worst snow fall of the year etc what are they referring to?

For it to be called a snow fall then of course snow must fall, surely then the worst fall is when hardy any pitches & the best snow fall is when its 6 foot deep?

No such thing as bad weather, just different types of good.

No. I checked at 4 and 6am. To see if it was worth going out before the numptista masses blocked the roads.

Looking out the office window I've got to say the snow fall has been pathetic. It's even raining now. banghead

Hi Peter. Hope to see you on another early morning blat in the year. wavey

I was just glad that there was some snow at least - we'd rashly promised our 3yo that it would snow while she was asleep rolleyes

Ahh we wondered how many youngsters shot out of bed this morning to see the snow but were dissappointed... & grown ups by the sound of it weeping

Train on the way to work today:

Every station the kids would dive off and collect as much snow as they could from each platform, then dive back on the train, mass snowball fight...

Next station, dive out, grab as much snow, dive on, mass snowball fight.


Resourceful buggers too - one phoned ahead and had his mates waiting with a huge ball (after rolling it around the platform for a while), that too slopped around the carriage...

Makes you think they've never seen snow.... confused idea ...err, ...they haven't!!!

I almost joined in with the pitch battle outside the school...

Who says kids today are little bastrds?

We came back from Italy on Sunday, we've had more snow here than we had all week - hence broken elbows and sprained ankles

There's a patch of grass outside our office window totally untouched - I want to go out and play

It's stopped snowing, I *REALLY* hope we don't get the rain that someone else mentioned - it'll be gone by the time I get home, and the kitties are in the vets having bits removed and are missing their first snowfall!
