It's very pretty out there, but I am so glad I'm not out in it!!!

Plus I'm keeping my fingers crossed that noone is going to be stupid enough to go too fast down either one of the two (very very steep) hills either side of our flat!

YANBU!

I just came back half an hour ago from a girls night out with other mums. We were all pathetically excited about the snow fall here . As soon as I got home, I woke DS1 and brought him downstairs to show him the snow in our garden (I have been promising the DCs snow for the last 2 days.......).

Sods law that we will have white christmas in the UK the year that we decide to go to French Alps for white christmas possibilities!

I walked through my favourite cemetery (I know weird) this morning on the way to DS's Christmas Party and it was snowing and the sun was shining. It was truly breathtaking, one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. We had to stop and just stare.

So lovely, I love this weather, I usually hate the cold, until it snows then I am all happy.

It helps that my ski jacket is like a giant duvet of course .

i got up before anyone elsse in my road too, to do the chickens.
which meant that the road had no footprints anywhere (only about 3-4inches of snow)
it was lovely

but the road into the countryside had all been defiled

When it snowed in february I woke the DC up at 10.30pm wrapped them up and we went out - we were the only people around and it was so much fun!

I dont have any snow

I love snow. Everywhere looks so picture postcard pretty.

Sadly the dcs do not agree. We have just attempted to walk the dog (who adores snow) and this has been filed under Things Never to Attempt Again With Small Children. Both wailed very loudly (and goodness how sound travels on quiet snowy days when there is no traffic). Ds2 demanded to be carried and then thrashed around so much that his wellies kept flying off. Ditto gloves and hats. No mean task to find them in deep and fine snow when you are also holding a dog lead, a thrashing toddler and a bag of poo. We must have walked about 200m at most.

Ds2 worked himself up into such a frenzy that he was sick the moment we got home.

TR, how on earth do you not have snow???

you live in the highest of high places!
surely you've got snow in scotland?

TrinityReindeer · 18/12/2009 17:42

well we are only a little away from the border to england so not high and no snow

One of my favourite memories of when Bloke was just New Boyfriend was looking out of the window of my parents' house and realising it was snowing, getting booted up, and running down the street at 2 in the morning.

Parents were mortified.
