to think that forecasts for freezing temperatures and snow

[Justforlaughs]

are just a euphemism for more RAIN!!

[elastamum]

I love snow. If we get enough we can ski on the hill behind the house, as long as the cows arent in there I have 4 DN under 5 staying this weekend ad I am taking them to Santa land so a bit of snow would be fab

[TiggyD]

The forecast says bits of snow in the north during the week and a big blob over Manchester to Birmingham on Saturday.

[Afrodizzywonders]

Where does it say snow forecast? I'm over 38 weeks pregnant and over an hour and a half away from the hospital, planning a home birth again.....please.....no snow......

[Cynner]

I second the grippy things on shoes..I am one fall away from a new knee so I get very stroppy about ice and snow. The grippy things have saved my arse more than once..

[SantyClaws]

come to Calgary bond , we've had lots of snow already - about 7inches one night a couple of weeks ago.

I think we are due a bit more the end of the week.

colder the better you say? Coldest i recall was -39 one morning last winter. Felt like -45 with the tiny breath of wind that gave us a wind chill

[SantasStrapOn]

We have Yak Trax here too. Fantastic things imo, nobody's fallen over in them here.

Mind you, I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm going to be stuck in with DD2 for ever. :(

[GrumpyCynicalBastard]

Thanks for the Doris - off to sign up for that!

[sannaville]

No snow or ice til I've done my driving test in December plzzz

[DiamondDoris]

By the way Twitter's UK snow is a great website for knowing where the snow is and how it's moving. It's updated every 5 minutes or so. At the moment it appears there is now snow anywhere. For snow-phobes it's a useful tool.

[forevergreek]

I now hate snow. I'm now living walking distance of work so if it snows unless it's metres high I really have no excuse not to go in

[DiamondDoris]

I hate snow. 2 years ago I was toying with the idea of emigrating. It's not snow that I hate so much as ice. Anyway, I bought a pair of Yaktrax 2 years ago and I wouldn't walk on ice without them. I am neither elderly nor pregnant and don't see any reason why I should fall flat on my arse. As an extra precaution I wear a padded jacket and back pack to break my fall. I am seriously phobic about ice. The snow is usually pointless in the south east anyway, it's not like you can ski on it.

[bondigidum]

Oh I loooveee snow. Please snow. I'm apparently a 'freak' though, I love cold weather-the colder the better. I'd happily move to somewhere like Alaska

[NotTodayThankYou]

I fucking hate snow.

Dear Snow,

You can arrive on Christmas Eve and you are welcome to stay until the end of Boxing Day.

Then you can fuck off until next Christmas.

from Me

[BikeRunSki]

Snow please, rather than more rain.
Snow melt has far lower impact on flood potential than rain.

[GrumpyCynicalBastard]

If you all want to know when it is definitely going to snow - I mean, definitely, no shadow of a doubt, really going to snow - this this is when it will be. 19th December, 5am drive to Heathrow to pick up son's friend from a flight from the US. That is when it will snow. No need to thank me - just get yourselves ready!

[ilovesooty]

I don't want any snow at all. I have to drive as part of my conditions of employment.

[Molepomandmistletoe]

I want snow, I'm sick of rain and everyone else having snow...we haven't even had a decent frost, never mind the glorious white stuff.

[Yarg]

Another vote for snow. Now, please, so that I can start the holidays early and preferably not go back to work till Easter

[wewereherefirst]

I want snow, we get stuck in our house as we're on a huge hillside, but snow rocks. Ice can fuck off though. I have grips for my shoes, makes getting DS to school safer- we all have a pair. I DO need snow chains for the pram next...

[TiggyD]

Yay for snow!!!

It's a most excellent frozen rain product. I want it to last for weeks.

[WelshMaenad]

NO FECKING SNOW.

What's elderly about proper footwear for ice and snow? We have kitted out the whole family with Yaktrax, which are the best snow grips IMO, I would not walk in snow without them.

[BrianCoxIsEatingBrains]

xpost with NotAQueef



ahem, sooooo snow shovels eh?

[ExitPursuedByABear]

I have some grips on my wellies. They are an absolute limb saver.

Feel like a bit of an arse when I clip clop round Tesco's, but I have the last laugh in the icy car park.

[BrianCoxIsEatingBrains]

ooo yes, thank you for the link - I think I have seen them on sale recently.

I suppose the only time you can get away with such practical foot-accessories is when you are either elderly or pregnant, I'll be flicking through my next Betterware catalogue with renewed vigour

[NotAQueef]

They are excellent ,I have some very similar and I'm only 30
