Wednesday's snow

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Morning all.
Still very significant amounts of snow showing on the radar for the NE and parts of northern England and heavy showers up into the east side of Scotland. Light snow in some of the SE.

I hear on the radio Gatwick airport is closed.

off to look at the models :)

I think of it as a bit of both, it's a London Borough but my postal address is Kent. Depends on who I'm telling! My cousin in Kent says where I live is not proper Kent but he's an arse, what does he know? LOL

It is not snowing in the London Borough of Bexley, Kent. Not bloody snowing! What's going on! I want more snow!

I have an igloo though! DD and the neighbours made one this afternoon. It's very impressive!

And interestingly well maybe not Kbear and I live ohh, 75 yards from eachother, in Bexley, Kent. I live in one district and she lives in another!

Not interesting at all really.

I'll get me coat.

So, does Shirley live in this Bexley? Or another one? Because she has 7 foot of snow and cannabalistic inuits.

Shirley does live in Bexley, but not sure where. Because we have quite a lot of open space, it could be 7 foot. What is 7 foot in cms anyway? I have 18cms in the garden.

How much snow is there in Bexley then? Am confused.

KBear - I hate that. I used to live in Harrow, which apparently isn't proper London and Middlesex isn't really a proper county. However, Kent is a proper county and is quite big. Riddikulus!

Some bloke on telly just said the word preparedness about the weather. Apart from being laughable in the context, is it an actual word?

DD (4) was up to her waist in the snow. Cat almost disappeared. He's been a hoot - he's 9 months so his first snow.

I think maybe Shirley was bigging it up just a tinsy bit. Afterall, she also has a inuit in the front garden!

I would say the average for this particular part of Bexley is somewhere between 18 - 25cm. Bad enough for most of the schools to shut and since I work in a school, that's enough for me!

I survived.

It was cold with frequent snow showers, but the roads were ok. In fact there was less snow lying than we have, when we are only a few miles from the ground. Even just down the road from us had half the snow we did!

Yes !!! we now have snow in Bournemouth,hope it keeps up all night

it's going bonkers in Horsham

Oh god does that mean it is going to be worse when I wake up tomorrow? (am in Croydon) any chance of a heatwave on it's way to melt the lot?

It's pretty bad here in Yorkshire, honestly never seen this much snow in EVER!! Ds1's school has been closed all week and ds2's closed today, both are closed again tomorrow. Our hot water broke yesterday, plumber fixed it this morning and 2 hours later the heating broke!!!!

To top things off i'm 40+6 pregnant and all family are cut off in teeny vilages so if I go into labour there's no-one able to get here to look after the kids. Even if I could have a home birth (can't due to medical reasons) our PCT has cancelled the home birth facility and closed one maternity unit in our area.

Sorry, just needed to rant about that, usually I love snow (big big kid I am) but this once i'm really wishing it would bugger off!

err.... Reality are you round here too?

Well we've finally got snow. We only had a sprinkling last year so I wondered if it would avoid us again, but no.

4" so far in Southampton

We finally have snow too!

i just had to go and have a walk round,its so sweet seeing the small children making snowmen ,I was taking to one mum and she said she is going to take loads of photos of her children,They looked so cute.Snowing again here too !
