YANBU. I'm so jealous, I want snow!

Rindercella · 17/12/2009 23:17

YANBU. Beautiful, virgin white snow - just perfect to run about in!

Don't think it's snowed here yet though.

EmilyStrange · 17/12/2009 23:17

OP I was just about to post the same. I went out and the temptation to make snowballs was great, but alas, noone to throw them at. All my lot are in bed and I don't want to risk their wrath by chucking snowballs at their heads.

satellite images show that the big block of snow is just heading over the London area....

Portofino · 17/12/2009 23:19

Nevergoogle · 17/12/2009 23:28

I've just got in. No snow yet, but when i put the water skoosher window thingy on, it froze on my windscreen immediately and i couldn't see a thing.

morningpaper · 17/12/2009 23:34

No way NG! It's like an ice-age is sweeping in...

Nevergoogle · 17/12/2009 23:34

the end of the world is nigh!

but i am way further north than you i think.

morningpaper · 17/12/2009 23:37

floweryblue · 17/12/2009 23:38

Yesterday - YA only BU if you do not bring in a special prezzie for DP and DC. Snow is for playing in and with!

Nevergoogle · 17/12/2009 23:40

yes, i'm in scotland.

where is my snow?!

mistletoekisses · 17/12/2009 23:44

YANBU!! It is coming down here too.

sb6699 · 17/12/2009 23:50

I love virgin snow - its so pretty looking out of my window atm.

I can share some of mine Nevergoogle. We have loads and am actually worried that I will be cut off from civilisation in the morning!

If it turns to ice overnight I am buggered - we live in the country and the farmer hasnt gritted the downhill, windey lane outside my house.

DH is a trucker (no, he doesnt have hairy hands and his name is not Dave) and he's hoping he will be sent home from work tomorrow because of the roads here so he can snowball fight the dc's. Bit worried if he has to drive an artic lorry on the roads round here - the gritters just dont seem to have appeared anywhere.

Vallhala · 18/12/2009 00:02

You clearly don't live where I do. We have snow alright, about 2 inches but its drifting owing to the Siberian wind which is taking temperatures down to WELL below freezing, and the trees are swaying like mad outside.

I definately DO NOT want to go out in THAT!

I forecast an eary start to the hols, theres no way school will be open tomorrow if this carries on. Oh joy, thats my last bit of pressie shopping for the DC up the swanny then!

sb6699 · 18/12/2009 00:05

I am glad I did the last of the dc's christmas shopping tonight. Snow started when I was on my home!
