Bit of a gripe for no other reason than *I can*

Every flippin programme I've watched over the Festive Period has had snow falling gently on Christmas Eve?Day.

We're watching Sherlock on IPlayer. It's snowing
Corrie
Holby City (at the airport)
Emmerdale
Lost Christmas (the Eddie Izzard one)

We've had none It's so unfair.
Last 2 years we've had pre-Christmas snow
(And yes it's a pain with school and work and travel and the supermarkets being empty)

I sound like a petulant child of 4 I know.
But Bah Humbug.

Oh I'm with you.

It's like that song by Greg Lake (?)

...Instead it just kept on raining....

I'm with you on that one. I'm so pissed off about it. I've bought the kids sledges last year as we didnt have any for all that snow, and with talks of more that was supposed to be around last year, they are still in the packing they arrived in via the courier.

I wonder....

If I unpack them and put them in the loft, do you think it would snow then?

20°C warmer than last year on Christmas day. Yes snow would have been pretty, but last year my DSIS and Dparents couldn't get her for Christmas and the heating emptied the oil tank.

20°C! really! It's no wonder why I've had the heating off lately. I'm sure I had it on more during the summer.

I am still up because I am building an ark.
It has rained so much here over the last 3/4 days.
Snow and a 20 degree drop in temp would be a welcome change.
Well obv not for everyone but you get my drift wink

lol, I do.

I'm still up because I just cant sodding sleep. Insomnia has kicked in again and the thought of going to sleep now (even if I could) and having to get up again in 4 and a half hours is just pointless so I'm cleaning out the pantry, listening to ipod, drinking coffee and mning.

I was also pissed off a tat annoyed that it didn't snow. Last year we were too late to buy a sledge for DS, they were sold out everywhere. We got one early this year just in case and of course, sod's law it won't snow. Pah! Who can I complain to?
