Mmmm, Not Sure About This One.
The snow is a comin' and I see it in my head as a huge gentle white blanket wafting it's way down South from Scotland and below, waving like one of those huge flags at the opening ceremony of some rather important sporting occasion or other.
That's how I want it to be, but then I think about the wave of cold front that follows in its wake. So for all the fun and prettiness it is sure to bring - pay a visit or make a phone call - and check those more infirm or less able than the rest of us have what they need for the next few days. You know it makes sense.
Now, I'm off to try and not break any bones BMX'ing. I fear the worst.

Snow. It was snowing on 16th December 2009 when Nic and I first met. It was still snowing when I moved in with him in February. That's a lorra snow!
I don't mind it, as long as I can stay fairly local. Being a big girlie coward I hate driving in the stuff.
Not feeling 100% today. Spent half the night downstairs on the sofa so as not to keep my man awake with my incessant barking coff coff coffing, so feel really tired as a result this morning, and a tad on the achey side.
Ashes tonight, so it's duvet on the sofa and settle in for a late one.
Whatever you're doing - enjoy it!

Wise words Chris, I have already given my parents a lecture as they are due to drive to my brothers in the Midlands at the weekend.
Earlier this year in the snow I rang a couple of oldies from church to see if they wanted anything, but they'd all been out and got it themselves - they're a hardy bunch!!
I'm not convinced that the snow will reach this far south, that is Kent. The 5 day weather forcast says that it's going to be really cold but sunny. However, I will get myself prepared just in case.

Peterborough's got a sleet shower at 0600 tomorrow. But the rest of the time it looks fairly good (except the cold) Although when i looked monday it said naff all about the sleet *sigh*
I don't mind driving in it . . it's just the other (insert own word/s here) drivers on the road that worry me.
I remember a good few years ago i was on M25 south section (between 5-7) and there was snow on all the lanes and i was doing about 30 ish in me lorry when this parcel carrier lorry (orange coloured and means explosive) came stonking past me, few miles up the road he was off the road *blank look*

Very cold here in Wirral and gas check just done.
I still get excited when I wake up and see snow just like I did as a child. And then the reality hits me, it's either going to turn to ice or slush. And I can't use my scooter in the snow or ice.
So I think I might hibernate until it passes.

Bingo Star 'ere...
CLP - Yes am fully prepared, a got some new tyres for me front wheels on me car last week as they were RIGHT on the legal limit of becoming not legal!!!!!!!!
A was already sliding all over the place everytime a took a roundabout flat!!!!!!!!!
Only problem a got me new tyres.... and decided ter test them for the first time on a greasy roundabout.... a turned the wheel... but me car kept going straight... 'eading terwards the railings... all in a split second....
It's just luck that am born te rbe a racing driver & got natural racing driver reactions >>> Instead of panicking as a understeered into the railings ter 'ave me front end ripped off.... a didn't brake as most would... no... a lifted of the accelerator... and steered terwards the barrier.... fighting me whell left.. then right.. then left ter scrub me speed and allow me front nearside wheel ter stop sliding!!!!!!!!!!
A managed ter miss the barrier by inches... (about 8 if a got out with a ruler - and that's close).
Ave never crashed a car but a couldn't understand why me new tyres were so bad at gripping... then a thought tyres pressures!!!!!!!!
A later checked me tyres pressures & the NUTTER who fitted me tyres at the garage... 'ad put 55lb in me nearside & 45lb in me offside tyre!!!!!!!!!
They should be 26 ter 32 at the very most!!!!!!!
So me tyres were like rocks... 'ence very little grip on a greasy road!!!!!!!!!!
Me point 'ere CLP... am not boasting but one it good ave got split second natural reactions... just like the best racing drivers... and the most important point.... if yer prepare for winter... be VERY careful if yer get yer new tyres fitted in Birkenhead!!!!!!!!!!!!
a also dropped me oil changed me filters: oil; air & fuel on Sundee when a 'eard the cold weather is getting colder... so me car is all set for any severe weather!!!!!!!!!!
Soz am getting carried away 'ere... a only mean't ter say ter all... make sure yer car is ready for winter!!!!!!!
As for the BMX gig... don't worry if yer break all yer bones.... looking on the brightside if yer slip on some snow or ice... there'll be nowt else ter break!!!!!!!!!

Please excuse the slightly idiotic tone to the question - I think the cold weather is playing havoc with my brain. This morning I had a minor issue with excess cistern bubblage caused by an overactive cleaning block of the `bloo' variety, so overactive our bathroom looks like we're hosting a foam party each time you flush. I removed the cistern lid and cleaned off the overspill with toilet paper, leaving the cistern gleaming and free from unwanted streaks of blue chemical.

However, I lived near Cowbridge, in a place called Llanblethian and in a place called Creigiau, not so far from Porthcawl for a while, and never had any issues...ok a bit of ice scraping, but no snow!

I am not writing any cards this year.
Everything that I would normally spend on cards and postage etc... is going to a very good cause that Ali gave me info on. Thanks Ali.x
Snow gates, I think are gates on the main roads though treacherous areas that are closed to stop anyone getting into problems.

However now it's 1am I got side tracked by finishing my story for NaNoWriMo and am somehow not sleepy because of my two hour nap this afternoon.
Tomorrow and Friday are days off which is fab (4 day weekend!) and i am going to catch up with a friend tomorrow and spend time with my mum on friday - good times!

Feeling a bit betterererer today, which is weird, considering Nic and I stayed up til 2am watching the Ashes!
It would appear that going to bed uber late means I sleep through to the alarm, instead of going to bed at normal bed time and waking up in the early hours coughing.
I've even packed my yoga stuff for tonight. How's that for optimism!?!
No snow here (yet) but it is 0 degrees and the car needed a lot of scraping this morning. Apparently the snow may reach The Midlands this afternoon though ..... ugh!
Right, let's find something to do .....

It's to late for asking who has snow. You should be asking who hasn't got it!
I am watching it fall in Central Devon now at 0920 in Holsworthy.

Avery cold day but no snow here in the North West, I believe it's down th East side.
I'm off out now in case it comes over this way later and also while my leg is holding up. Still getting awful pain on and off from my pulled muscle caused by lifting my scooter backwards when it became stuck on a kerb.
Glad to hear a good time was had at the R2 quiz, is Rips still out?

No snow darn sarf, not even frosty. Blue sky and sunshine, albeit a bit chilly! Most likely put the mockers on it now!
Keith, we have friends in Holsworthy. Useless bit of information but thought I'd mention it.

Quite a frost down here in Somerset last night! No snow though where I am and sat/sitting in my office in Exeter I am looking out of beautiful sunshine. I did have to venture out earlier and jackets are required.
Boiler problems鈥. Mine works fine unless I have the heating and hot water on at the same time! If I do that and have a shower it turn鈥檚 my boiler off. I do only have to hit the reset button which normally would be no problem you would say鈥..well my boiler is in the loft! My OH will not go up there (spiders and cobwebs) so my first task some days is to 鈥渟ort the boiler out鈥. I am sure it can be fixed, I am just too tight. LOL
