To be really excited.....................

[massivemammaries]

That soon it might snow? last winter was fab! 9 inches of snow standing in our street last winter and 3 foot long icicles hanging from gutters ..... love it!

bluejeans - Crabbies sounds good to me

Ugg, the snow - it's a nice novelty for a week or two but then can it all melt please and bog off . The dark mornings... dark nights... wind whipping round your neck.. no thanks.

I do however prefer winter fashion so all's not lost.

OOh can I have a link to the iceberg thing?

How soon is soon? What have you heard? WHen is the snow? ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Looking for link now............... Mid October it was saying

I bloody hate bloody snow. It's the work of Satan. I wrote my car off last year on sheet ice on the hill where I bloody live. I am no longer willing to leave my house if it's icy or snowy. I will be stuffed if this happens in mid October...

Still, if it's the same Met Office who can't predict weather for toffee I shan't worry too much.

PMSL at this. There is always a good debate on MN and this ones about the weather.

Still shows though how varied we all are as those who don't want snow have extremly good reasons, eg LF and her pg, Riven negotiating icy roads with dd in her wheelchair.

Personally love it but mid-oct a bit early even for me if it puts pay to bonfire night, halloween etc.

Hoping its melted by 31st as my beloved Nan who passed last year would have been 100 this year and want to visit her ashes - mindyou she was always really hot so she probably wouldn't care

but we were at school during the summer so doesn't count

I normally love the snow but now I live at the top of a steep hill I dread it! Last year I couldn't move my car for 3 weeks and it was practically impossible to push the pram in the snow.

Ds will be 1 on halloween though so I'm very much looking forward to that!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
please no snow this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No snow pleeeeeease.

Dh can't leave the house if we have snow (is disabled), he can't work so does not get paid.

Earlier this year when it snowed both dcs schools stayed open and I ended up having to negotiate thick ice to get them both in on time.

Just crisp, sunny days will do me.

Sorry to be the bearer of fantastic bad tidings but I've just been reading that the only place which may get some snow/sleet in October is Scottish Highlands. There is a possibility that it may snow in Norhern England in late November. I'm hoping that West Yorkshire/Pennines counts as the Midlands in this scenario

you can have it, just keep it away from me!

I fell over on ice, broke my wrist in 2 places, was in cast for 6 weeks, had physio til may and still get pain - and i was 'lucky' cos i didn't have to have the metal pin/plate inserted that was threatened.

Now i am pg (due in May)I swear if it snows i am going into hibernation!

YANBU I LOVE the snow (although can see the points of view of many on the thread difficulty getting out).
We had lots of snow here last year, had so much fun playing with dc, down side was my boiler packed up and noone could get out to us to fix it

YABU. What is going on with the seasons these days?

pissovski - I love your name :) Are you a namechanger? I haven't 'seen' you before but you sound familiar?!

YABU. Just come up here to Scotland - after 4 seasons in a day in May (hailstones like golfballs), waiting for this much fabled 'summer' in between showering rain, blustering gales and crazy temperatures (up and down) we are longing for it NOT to be winter just a little longer!

Of course I am being 'grippit' as hell and refusing the heating for at least another month (if I don't put it on, winter won't come, right?)

Suppose though, on the bright side, our council haven't bothered their arses to sweep the grit off the pavements from last winter, so at least not so slippy this time

YABVVU!

I hate the bloody snow. It was awful last winter. I still had to get dd to child minder and then me to work, and then do the reverse. The roads were awful as many people didn't bother going to work and the schools were shut, but we all made it to work.

SSNNNNNOOOOWWWWW!!!!

I'm with MM, I LOVE snow. And I'm on maternity so don't have to worry about walking to work like last year!! Yay!! :)

annoyingly, I cant find the article I read this on ..... I just hope its' true, thats' all ............I'm dreaming....... of a white....christmas

Thanks ChippingIn :) I have been around for a while but this is my only incarnation

It snowed and they shut the school and all the family and school mates went to the top of the highest hill and tobogganed down.

I took a photograph of the roof tops across the town, it looked beautiful.

Then we went home for hot chololate.

But please no more, it is so dangerous and the fuel bills are horrendous, and I can't get to look after MIl 30 miles away.
