First snow of the winter season last night, finished work this morning and its freezing, couldnt even open the door on my jeep this morning.

Then weve got this instore for this weekend :(

Winter Storm Watch:

Issued at: 5:37 AM EDT 10/28/11, expires at: 1:45 PM EDT 10/28/11
Winter storm watch remains in effect from Saturday evening through Sunday morning,
Locations, this watch includes southern New Hampshire and york county Maine.
Hazard types, heavy wet snow.
Accumulations, 6 or more inches of snow are possible.
Timing, rain, or a rain snow mix will likely commence Saturday afternoon, then change over to moderate to heavy wet snow Saturday evening and continue through the wee hours of Sunday morning.
Impacts, heavy wet snow, at times wind-driven, will result in appreciable excess weight on trees that still have leaves. This will likely result in tree damage and subsequent power outages. In addition, a burst of heavy snow during the night will almost certainly stick to roads despite it still being October. This will result in very slippery travel. Reduced visibilities are expected.
Winds, north 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.
Temperatures, in the lower 30s.
Visibilities, one half mile or less at times Saturday night.
Precautionary/preparedness actions,
A winter storm watch means there is a potential for significant snow, sleet, or ice accumulations that may impact travel. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts.

Any sign of it back home in the UK yet ?
 
You lucky thing.

I love the snow. It seems to deaden sound and gives the air a crispness and just like the sun. People seem to be happier and more playfull. Random snow fights, snow men and stuff like that. It's great.
 
Had a little snow the other week driving home from Edinburgh but due to the previous down pour it was never going to have a chance to settle.

lol I work with a lot of people who hate snow....

"I fall over all the time"
"It's too cold"
"It makes it impossible to get anything done"
"It makes driving impossible"
"It makes everything too bright with the sun"

Sad *********.

I love it - in fact, I'm looking forward to extensive snow drifting again this winter - literally the most fun you can have in a boggo ford focus :D

*edit, yes I do mainly work with women
 
They just need to slow down and take it easy. I walk to the shop when it snows, it's brilliant.

And driving isn't great but reduce speed and take it easier and it's not to bad, if it is to bad, don't drive. But then again I suppose I still get paid if its bad snow and others don't.
 
I like the snow in principle, but it's really the ice that gets compacted underneath that makes it a pain. I worry about my mother falling over outside and hurting herself, and I have to spend 10 hours a day breaking it up at work, digging through snow as if I'm breaking rocks on a chain gang. No thanks.

Light snow, but no more, plz.
 
Nope, it is nice and sunny here, almost on the warm side! I do like snow though, I can't wait for it to come!!
