Cinnamon Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Its 4am here (can't sleep- horrible cold) & there is about an inch of snow with it still falling quite heavily. It is really strange being the only one on here - if I fall over,will I make a sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Loads of snow here About 3-4 + inches. School is also closed Hope you feel better soon Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) Proper snow, as forecast, a couple of inches, we haven't had this for ages. Esther is so excited, but school appears to be open, (as they should be) unless there's a last minute change. Just wish this wasn't the day that I was supposed to be taking Mother to the doctor's. Just routine, but took a month to persuade her, and she doesn't want to go. It's the 1st time since Father died, and she is angry that he didn't visit and worried that she might cry anyway. Personally I don't think he's going to say anything not connected with her repeat prescriptions. So, a big day, but don't know that I'll be able to get her there, Well, off to watch Esther make the 1st footprints,,,last time we had a speck, the hens got there 1st, won't let them out yet. They're looking very bemused. Have fun in the snow everyone. Who has the most? Sarah, you made the first footprints here! Hope your cold clears soon. xx Edited February 8, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Not even a snowflake !! Maybe we will get some later thought I think theyve forecast it to go round Manchester!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 At 7am when I went out to let the girls out and break the ice on their water, it was very cold and frosty with rock hard frozen mud but a clearish sky and not a sign of snow. Half an hour later it is snowing quite heavily, (very fine snow) and the ground is beginning to be covered already. Son's boss has phoned to say they are all having a day off....(works Chesterfield/Mansfield) and its snowing really heavily there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Well it's snowing here in Derbyshire too! Got quite good coverage and it's still coming down - Molly has already been out for her stroll and looks very happy - just sad that I'll miss the laydee's first day in the snow but texting the foster parents to take a photo for us!! Ahh - sat inside the caravan as snug as a bug with a steaming mug of coffee This is the life.......... A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I didn't realise you lived so near I got snow this time. Very fine, but a reasonable covering. Only Megan's ventured out, and that's only because she's a wuss and runs away from the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickpea Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 We've got about 6 inches here, and it's still coming down! The Eglu has in fact turned into an Igloo, it's covered so much!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Well, I've just got back from work, having closed the school. Every one of my staff made it in, despite some of us living in really rural places, but the secondary in the same town had closed (pathetic) and our feeder infant school had closed, because their heating system has packed in, so the decision was made to close too... lots of parents were phoning in from 7.00 am onwards telling us their children were "sick" Can't blame them: What a lovely day! So, here I am, back at home, eating some toast and drinking hot chocolate! Then its off up the hill with Molly dog. Here's the view from my window...

Snowy Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) I'll try again, just crashed on me trying to leave a post It's gorgeous here! But I'm sat at work waiting for clients who can't get here because of the snow While OH is at home with the 3 boys having a great time I just hope I can get home later - out the window I can see 2" and still snowing steadily, and that's in the town. We live out in the sticks and it's usually worse there! I want to go home and play PS Great pics everyone! Seeing them is nearly as good as going home!
