Are schools really closed because of the snow? its hardly that bad.

It depends where you are. 4 inches of snow and ungritted roads makes it lethal round here. It is also the last day of term so it is not even actual work that anyone is missing.

It was bordering on hilarious in Leverstock Green last night, up an incline of the gentlest severity there were cars strewn across the road, including a line of three Nissan 350z's in a line facing the wrong way. It did seem that the roads hadn't been touched with the gritter at all last night.

People in Britain just don't have experience driving in snow, and thus when we get a sudden snap shower like last night, many are caught out.

Haven't seen anything quite like last night though.

The dual bit of Two Waters Road was by all accounts hairy last night. Gallows Hill up to Abbots Langley is interesting in the snow. My missus nearly wrote my car off in the snow there a few years ago...

Was meant to be flying to Belfast from Luton last night, didn't end up working out so well, was just getting ready to board when they closed the runway, finally got back to London at 5:30 in the morning.

How's the weather in Dublin? I'm coming home on Tuesday, don't want another repeat of last January being stranded in the airport because of snow!

MidwestWool · « **Reply #336 on:** December 20, 2009, 12:16:23 am »

Flew into NY last night and not a hint of snow.

Now, it's been almost a day since I've been here, and the ground in about 3-4 inches of snow. And it's not stopped snowing yet.

SP · « **Reply #337 on:** December 20, 2009, 01:12:34 am »

More snow here tonight already. Forecast for the coming week revised for more snow.

Woke up this morning, made a cuppa tea, got dressed, then went out for a smoke (about 30minutes after I woke) and realised my feet were freezing..I was standing in about 2 inches of snow and didn't even realise! FUCK OFF SNOW!

It's been snowing all day, about 20cm (yesterday's and today's) in the garden at the back at the moment.
Been a horribly long time ago it's snowed this much.

Snow makes me happy

Just been walking almost 2hours through the snow, been up to my ankles in it.
Oh I wish I was a 5 year old again...

Damo58 · « **Reply #346 on:** December 20, 2009, 01:32:43 pm »

I'm terrified of falling on my arse when I go out in a bit.

Just keep walking on the fresh snow, and you'll be fine!

Rob K · « **Reply #348 on:** December 20, 2009, 02:21:10 pm »

We had a pathetic 10 minute attempt at snow here in Hereford last night and then in rained.

It's like Torvill and Deans perfect paradise out there now.

buzzing · « **Reply #349 on:** December 20, 2009, 03:10:52 pm »

So surprised when on the pavements there is a path with fresh snow and parts that are walked over and turned to ice and people choose to walk over the icy patch and fall on their arse

dutch_red · « **Reply #358 on:** December 21, 2009, 11:45:06 am »

Another 10cm has fallen over the night.
Haven't snowed since I got up though and the sun is slowly peeking through the clouds.

A couple of buses are going atm, but seeing the road, I'm shit scared to get into one.
I think the x-mas presents have to be ordered online this year.
