Mrs Webmuppet Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 It's snowing here. It doesn't appear to be settling on the road just on the gardens. It can snow all it wants after lunch but not before! I am off to church then I have to take our laundry to my Mothers 'cause my washing machine is broken and the man isn't coming until Friday to fix it.

Shirl Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I'm with you Snowy. As much as the snow is pretty we're in spring so I'm expexting lovely sunny days. Where have they gone It's snowing quite heavily here but not settling on the paths yet. It started about an hour and a half ago and everywhere is covered except the chickens which with their lovely new run are looking quite cosy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara123 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 This is what we woke up to this morning. S"Ooops, word censored!"ped off the snow from the greenhouse at 7.30 this morning as my girls couldn't see out of there new run Kids are supposed to be doing there paper rounds but last time I looked out of the window they were trying to build a snow man before the other kids got out there. I think the papers are going to be late this morning for a few people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Snowing here too. It so rarely snows in London it does look very pretty, but it will be slush in a few hours and public transport will grind to a halt Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 We haven't had snow for years - I mean proper snowman/snowball fighting snow! Even then only about an inch and we have made the most liddle snowmen! We had an almighty crash of thunder at 7 this morning and OH said within half an hour we had 4 inches of it! First I fed the wild birds and then I thought that this is what I would be doing when the girls come (hopefully it won't snow by then). Actually it has apparently snowed in June here about 4 hundred years ago at the battle at Old Basing - Civil War times - apparently so bad weather at that time. But YAY - I'm off to make a snow angel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 We've got snow too . Not deep enough to be fun (or inconvenient ) but enough so we can't see the grass . Still snowing as I type. ES has gone off to his football match (I suspect they'll be back before long ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I've just dropped ES off for rugby practice, lots of purple mottled legs later me thinks It's a real chunky soup and fresh baked bread day not much digging in the garden though Enjoy the day everyone Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 ES has gone off to his football match (I suspect they'll be back before long ). He's back so I was right - why they thought the game could go ahead, I don't know. Everybody had to turn up before they decided to cancel .

Mrs Frugal Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 LSH's golf match was cancelled due to snow on the greens but we've had nothing at all here a 5 or so miles up the road! Brilliant sunshine, in fact and it's 30+ degrees in the conservatory!! A gorgeous day with blue skies so poor old Hubby is out laying the paths in the garden to stop me nagging .

Snowy Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Wow Jules, that is an amazing pic! The light is wonderful! We've had a gorgeous day today, but at one point I thought it was snowing again as a flurry of white went past the window. Turns out we have starlings nesting under the eaves and they were turfing out our cavity wall insulation The patio is covered in polystyrene beads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
