Mel (& Paul) Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 We're getting ours at the weekend. Well, it will probably be sleet and slush rather than snow. But not rain It never rains in Dorset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Friday and Saturday for us. The temperature is going down to -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I haven't heard that,but YIPEEEEEEE That's what my daughters will say if it does snow... I don't mind snow too much, especially if at weekends when the girls can stay home and enjoy it all in the garden without us having to drive anywhere... in previous winter I used to put the car in the garage each night, to avoid the s"Ooops, word censored!"ing in the morning... but now the garage is full with tiles and what not for our new bathroom... of course it will have to snow or freeze while I can't put the car in.... sigh... Maybe I'm just getting lazy... in previous houses we never had a garage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 I can't wait - I feel so cheated after not having a summer last year, and then no snow yet this winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 The weather forcast last night forecast snow for us today. Nothing yet but very dull skies at the moment. We are supposed to get heavy snow showers Friday and Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Oh my....it has been like Spring here for the last three days! I have mixed feelings about the snow as my youngest has to drive about at work and so will worry. It would suit me if it snowed on Friday evening and cleared up by Monday!

The Dogmother Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Shall I put an order in for you then? I love snow, but will be sad to see the warmth go - everything has started to sprout in the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I spent most of today in blue pyjama trousers after getting soaked this morning and the last thing I want is more ruddy snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I hope the snow stays away until the weekend. Jack has his Higher prelims this week and I don't think he would like to walk the 8 miles to school to sit the exams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 I spent most of today in blue pyjama trousers after getting soaked this morning and the last thing I want is more ruddy snow Oh dear, doesn't sound like fun... do you still have snow there then?

Louise Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 No just lots of rain today I was so wet I had to change trousers, my jacket and gloves are still soaked and I needed to wash my feet and crocs in the shower because of the mud My parents are going to their house this weekend so if I am snowed in it will be fine so long as it stays away till after they have gone I want my peace and quiet htis weekend I hope that you get it Louise.

chickencam Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Last night when I looked at the forcast they were saying snow on Friday night then heavy snow all day Saturday but they seem to have changed it for us to light snow, so that will probably mean no snow. I knew it was too good to be true snow and at a weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 I noticed that too - it has changed for here as well and is now lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 no, no no.... ..snow means flight delays ,...so I dont want any snow until Friday when its my day off.....it can snow in bucket loads then!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I know all you parents wont thank me for this but i do hope it snows really heavily as im soooo tired and need a day off school Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Can I put in an order for a foot-deep layer, to fall silently and beautifully on Friday night, last until Monday morning and then vanish, please? My kids have never seen snow that was more than an inch deep or lasted more than two hours. We would have to go to the local 'artificial real snow ski slope' place if we wanted to play in snow. It would probably be cheaper and more environmentally friendly to fly to Greenland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 I love that silence, when you wake up and you know it has snowed... you just lie there savouring the anticipation...
