From Richard Polkinghorne:
There's no business like snow business
Keep happy, Sing along .....
There's no business like SNOW business
Like no business I know
Travelling through the country is just freezing Even if the traffic will allow Everybody's snuffling and sneezing And getting stranded, don't ask me how?
There's no business like SNOW business
Like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Stay at home the weather men did say.
You don't even feel that you're freezing When you are stealing, that extra day
There's no people like SNOW people
They smile when they're low
Even with a Country that you know will fold You may be playing out in the cold Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold Let's go on with the SNOW
There's no people like SNOW people
They never ever run out of dough
Yesterday they told us we were going broke £2.billion lost, and that that's no joke Another day gone and yet here we are Spending all the dole money in the bar
Big crescendo......All together now .....
Lets get on with the SNOOOOOOOOW.........
And here are some more snow pics - no more please!
"Am a supply teacher. Schools closed no work, no money. Went for a refreshing walk to our local park in Hoddesdon and so did everyone else. It was lovely to see so many enjoying the arctic conditions. Helen Reeves"
From Rebecca: "I have to admit that I borrowed this picture from my friend Charly, taken on Epsom Downs Racecourse..."
From John Tozer: "Treacherous conditions. And just to prove that the buses were running - one taken from the top deck of one in Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington."
"Dear Eddie, Every day the kittens accompany the dog and I across the fells, today they decided to take a higher view upon the landscape, taking in the Three Peaks that surround them. Regards Robyn"
From John Cook: "A snowy scene fro Harston Cambridgeshire. Gee up Eddy"
"Lovely, snowy Dartmoor. A complete treat for those of us who are old enough to better but young enough not to care. Hope you all had a safe and snowy day too! Sarah"
"Here is the naked snow-lady my husband built while I was at work, having walked there because there were no trains. In your 'what's good about the snow' article I did not hear anyone talk about the 'let's all pull together' spirit that an occasion like this produces in those workplaces that simply have to keep going - I actually enjoyed yesterday at the hospital I work in. The snow is still thick here in inner London. Carol Stevenson, Nunhead"
Dear pm, Despite having to go in to work on Monday morning at St Thomas' Hospital rather than enjoy the snow at home, I was able to glimpse the Houses of Parliament looking even more beautiful than usual - shrouded in snow. The quiet of the early morning was a moment to savour. Happy Snow photos! Jessica Farmer"
Tony Williamson took this in Polegate in East Sussex.
