are we on for another really snowy winter then?

[SHRIIIEEEKPoolingBearBlood]

Bah humbug

[ScarahStratton]

Ooh Merrels, where's the best place to get Merrels?

[MrsVamoOOOOOs]

Ooooh, I like your thinking, Squeak.

Plastic sledge, stickers, and new boots. Brilliant.

I really shouldn't buy any more boots though. I might have to get them and stash them away for Christmas. I can have 1 present, can't I ?

Hmmm.

[MrsVamoOOOOOs]

Strats

Try

I got my BEAUTIFUL Prevoz's for £50 a few weeks ago.

Sometimes you have to bide your time and be patient.

Or

google your preferred style of boot, and go to shopping...then sort according to cost. I think Lillywhites and SportsDirect have some deals ATM.

OR

Ebay ! Some nice ones on there atm for £70. Fluffy, lace up, good stompy, yet stylish boots. In black or brown.

I remember December 93. I was 8 1/2 months pregnant clearing a foot of snow off the car whilst speaking to my dad in Spain on the cordless phone and not sympathising with his freak sunburn.

[ScarahStratton]

Brilliant, thank you :)

[MrsVamoOOOOOs]

You're welcome, lovely !

[Trazzletoes]

Buy some yaktrax. I actually could not survive winter without them.

[SHRIIIEEEKPoolingBearBlood]

Right, will be ordering some tonight

[ENormaSnob]

I love the winter and the snow.

Don't particularly like the 4 mile trek to work if I can't get the car up the hill out of the village.

[Happybunny12]

I think I need yaktrax in my life. Trazzle, do you think they would go over my wellies?

[Trazzletoes]

Happybunny, if I were you, I would get them in men's size, and a big one at that (assuming you also have giant clompy feet like me!). I don't see why they wouldn't be fine. They really work and saved me several times on sheet ice last winter.

[GwendolineScaryLacey]

It can snow 24 hours a day all winter for all I care. Last year I was due with dd2 at the start of Jan and terrified of not being able to get to the hospital. Now I care not. Bring it on!

[poohbearrulesinHELL]

I bought snow boots in January sale last year, consequently it didn't snow. Previous year got about half way to work, parked car and walked 3 miles home! Also bought snow shovel last year and salt for the drive. On maternity leave now so it can snow if it likes, I shall sit on my sofa and watch through the window

[aJumpedUpPantryBoy]

I love the Winter when it is cold and snowy.

I have my Merrells, new Winter coat, snow shovel, yaktrax and snowsocks for DH's car (mine is a RW drive and no good in the snow)

We live in the middle of nowhere so I intend to stock up on food over the next few weeks.

I'm tempted to get some North Face boots as well

Of course, this means it won't snow.

[JollyJack]

DM was born in 63. Their farm was snowed in from hogmanay until march 31st. The first vehicle to get out took my gran to hospital to have DM.

I don't fancy another winter like that. It was waist deep here a couple of years ago and that was bad enough.

[FreddieMercurysEnormusPumpkin]

It won't snow, because people are prepared. There were LOTS of preparedy threads here last year, and not a bit of snow. Although the profileration of Yaktrax means there will be none of this malarkey

[MrsVamoOOOOOs]

I know it's wrong, but people falling over is funny.

[AnotherCerealNameChanger]

Well. I don't need a coat. But I do need boots. Several pairs. I need replacement fly boots for stomping inside, new hiking boots fir outdoors, new wellies for wet muddy snowy days.

And a slanket.

[boaty]

I want a snowy, cold winter or its not winter at all...but living on the south coast unlikely! :( more likely damp

[FreddieMercurysEnormusPumpkin]

Poor lad. It is funny though:)

[JollyJack]

You want to house-swap for 3 months, boaty? We had snow Xmas eve- April in 2010-11. And on and off late October-Jan in 2009-10, iirc.

[boaty]

LOl...I think work might be a tad upset if I didn't go in for three months...so it looks like I have mild/damp!! ;)

[Titsalinabumsquash]

Prepared?! England is terrible when it snows! Arf, everything just seems to stop!

I don't mind though, I blardy luff snows and winter, I'm all about the cozy and snuggling with blankets, you can't do that in the summer.
I do need to give birth first though so If it could hold off actual snow for 4-5 weeks I'd be grateful.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

We have a lovely weather section on mn :)

[crappypatty]

I bought a new sledge from Costco today, a sure sign of heavy snowfall, my sixth sense must of been bleeping.
