Are we going to get snow?

[Nicol@]

Snow is predicted to be really heavy in the early hours, but is the MET office being over cautious, will we end up with 1cm?

My boss has just wandered around the office giving people his mobile number so they can get in touch if they can't get in to work tomorrow.
He turned to me and said 'I know you will be here tomorrow, because you have four wheel drive'....grrr.
The scooby strong point has just become a weak point...lol

(I managed to get about in the last lot of heavy snow in a rwd and survived).

So what are you expecting when you wake up tomorrow?

[tonyvid]

Working from home tomorrow, 200bhp fwd Saab on wide tyres or a mid-engined rwd and too far to work in the Landy. Nah, I'll let the numpties fall off the road and stay in the warm!

It'll be like normal, 1cm of snow, the whole country grinds to a halt because no one knows what to do on the news this evening they are already saying schools are going to close tomorrow, we've not even had any snow yet ffs!!
I was saying to Di on the way home, I don't think I can remember having a day off school because of snow, kids of today eh!

[Mrs BlueCerbera]

Hope we get loads - makes the walk to school so much more fun and its so much easier to get the kids out the door when there's snow out there ! I'll be spending the day in Abington Park making snowmen

Nothing in the Kettering area at the mo. I reckon we`ll get some around midnight.

[Blipi]

No concerns for me as I don't need to go anywhere!

[OLYC]

they were all having a tizz at work about their 5 mile drive in. I have 55 miles of country lanes to navigate to get into work.

Can't wait.

From what they said on the radio tonight, seems like its going to hit us in the day rather than overnight, hope its not too bad, I actually like going to work

ignore me, met office say something different

woke up at 4 this morning, no snow, alarm went off at 6, loads of snow!

[petclub]

Very thin covering in Leics, not enough to cause trouble yet.

[mark r skinner]

Broughton, today.

[Nicol@]

It took me 1hr 10 mins to travel 7 miles.

I watched poor rwd cars going nearly sideways up and down a hill near my house, many giving up.

The snowy landscape looks very pretty though.

? Jacked it in ?



SWMBO had to go in this morning so I said take the Saab rather than the TF. Wouldn't even get to the top of the road - sheet ice under 1" of snow! Our village had seen no cars by 08.00 as we have 2 steep hills each side. Nice dog walk though until my stupid fluffy Cavaliers became so "snow-balled" they couldn't walk - crap dogs really!!!

At least they didn't get buried in the snow.
I hope you carried them home.

Funnier to watch them trying to walk with a load of white tennis balls under them and on their fronts! I did crush them off half way around the field then banned them from anywhere nice in the house until it all melted!
