WOAH! Sudden heavy snow here, huge flakes.

Kids are going mental trying to get their boots on

FunkyT · 31 Jan 2010 at 10:59

More pics please - I'm getting excited (fingers crossed).

SB118 · 31 Jan 2010 at 11:15

Stopped now, too warm (0c) for anything to settle.

FunkyT · 31 Jan 2010 at 11:26

Normally it will only snow when it gets just above 0c as lower temps are too cold...

Some serious frost down in Cornwall at about 5am when I left that randoms house but no snow as of yet.
Oh the Joy of getting back to Cheltenham later if it does start coming down hard.

I love the snow and long for another spell that brings the country to a standstill

I take it you don't pay your own gas bill.

Don't you guys have work or uni or both or something to commute to ? Snow is a pain, public transport is in shambles at the smallest sign of snow and driving is painfully slow and you have to be careful.

Live reasonably close to work, or even, heaven forbid, walk to work? In December when we had 4" of snow I walked the 30-40 mins to work, snow days not taking any longer than normal...

Hopefully tomorrow we will be told just how "cold" January has been and I think a lot of people will be in for a shock as to how warm it actually was, yes colder than average but I doubt it wll be too near the coldest Januarys on record.

The Department of Health predicted that up to 40,000 excess deaths could occur because of the coldest weather for over 40 years.

I'm currently wearing 2 jumpers and 2 pairs of trousers. The water in the kitchen sink had ice on it this morning.

Smudge · 31 Jan 2010 at 16:32

I do live close to work and uni. Both within 20 minutes if the traffic is calm.

But, don't you think some people have something better to do than to waste 20 additional minutes on walking and that they may prefer sitting in their car with heated seats blasting music so hard your mirror's shake while eating breakfast and drinking tea ?
