A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 what's a 'gooner', Duchess? I didn't ask for it, I don't want it - TAKE ALL THAT NASTY STUFF AWAY! A Gooner is an "Ooops, word censored!"nal supporter. The team used to be located in Woolwich in London, south of the river, when it was first set up. Woolwich was home to a military "Ooops, word censored!"nal. Hence the name. The team later moved ground to north of the river, but kept the name "Ooops, word censored!"nal. Gooner is a corruption of 'gunner' - guns/"Ooops, word censored!"nal. I'm a West Ham fan. When I was small I liked their purple and blue shirts. And a Spurs fan. Because my first crush liked them. So fickle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 severe weather warning from the MET Office here at lunchtime, snowed most of the day and set to continue tonight then freeze over, should be fun and games in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoebe Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Loads here; its now been snowing solidly since 1.30pm, and we already had a couple of inches before then ! YS school closed; took YD to school ("no-one else is going in, MUUM") and then OH had to pick her up at noon. I went to work for the mrning only and then came home in case I got stuck. Cat not seen snow before as he is only 2 in April - he hates it, and is asleep on the top of the tall bookcase in the kitchen in a sulk. Hens not too happy either but cheered up with some meal worms. Kids have made large snowman and I am catching up with correspondence in the (warm) kitchen. Very pretty outside, but I hope it magically disappears overnight !!

xChicken04x Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I woke up to a blanket of snow this morning. I wasn't really expecting it as we NEVER get snow. It's not a huge amount but enough to make me smile . I must admit, I love snow, it makes everywhere look so magical. It was Zara's first time seeing the snow, she LOVED it. She couldn't work out how I was throwing, what seems to be a solid snow ball, but it disappears when it lands, so she can't pick it up . Here are some pics: I'll post the video of Zara in the snow once it's uploaded. Tessa, Google is beautiful . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 We've been told to expect 4 times more snow tomorrow, and they think school will be closed tomorrow, and maybe wednesday I've just got back from the park, but we couldn't find anywhere selling sledges so we improvised with storage boxes .

So fickle! thanks for that explanation, chickychickychick-ENN, I'd never have guessed Snow can be useful, I got this from the BBC Snow prints aid burglary arrest Police followed footprints in the snow and made an arrest following a robbery at a County Durham club. Officers were called to the Ivy Leaf Club in Burnhope at 0130 GMT, when an alarm was triggered, and found cash had been stolen from the safe. A police spokesman said officers were able to follow footsteps in the snow to a house in the village. A man in his 20s has been arrested on suspicion of burglary and is being questioned by police in Consett. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/wear/7865318.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Our snow has been a bit wimpy today, occasional light dustings. Until we went down to the church! When we came out it was serious snow - we've had 2" in the last 2 hours and it's now coming down thick and fast OH finished his shifts this morning, so none of us has to go anywhere tomorrow, except middle son whose school is across the road (IF it opens). For it to keep snowing overnight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicki9 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'm so jealous- only a light covering here, no where near enough for school to be closed. Possibly enough to make a very small snow chook or snow baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 It's pretty snowy here now and has been coming down hard for the past hour or so.

The Dogmother Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 It's deep and crisp and even here now, but has stopped snowing for the time being. We're promised a 'significant snow event' tonight though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Oh I wish my connection for photobucket would work!! It hasn't stopped snowing all day. Hubby and I walked to our nearest supermarket mainly just to get out but got a few supplies (chocolate ). Just been out to shut the girls up for the night and measured the snow on the table again (sad I know ) and its 7 1/2 inches We checked at the station on our way and they said they were going to try to run some ghost trains tonight but weren't hopefull that they would run properly tomorrow.

Here's Jenny and Helga and here's little Åsa up to her feathers in snow (not that long since she had a broken leg and wouldn't have been allowed out in the snow!)
