Aylana Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Well since I last posted we have had sleet, hailstones and snow. All very brief, there are a few thin white patches left here and there. I'm just glad to be tucked up nice and warm in the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Lots more snow here this morning. The boys have gone off sledging at Rutland Water with LSH. I'd say we've had a good couple of inches of snow overnight! Excellent!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 That sounds fun, Kate. We just have enough to look like a heavy frost on the lawn. not enough to play in. It settled on the roads but now the sun is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aylana Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Wheeeeee! Woke up this morning and it has snowed properly! There is white everywhere, very exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Here are my boys sledging at Rutland Water this morning. There was less snow there than here, 10 miles up the road so they're off to Burghley House to sledge in the park there this afternoon again!

Guest Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Wow wonderful photos Kate. Brought back many happy memories of sledging down Dunstable Downs with my boys at brake neck speed, and in tandem and being hurled off at the bottom into piles of snow. Boys used to ski down the slopes and there were torches and candlelights at night. We lived right on the edge of the downs - never did understand why they call them downs and they are all steep ups! I am of to daydream again Thanks for the lovely photos posted - made my day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I forgot to say that the snow is deep above my ankles here and just heavenly. I was up and out before anyone else and took photos of the virgin snow before the children got out there and churned it up. And I took great delight in being the first one to do a silly John Cleese walk up the road and back about 100 yards to make the first footsteps. Boy do I get a kick out of doing that when everyone else is still tucked up in bed - and that was late today 8.30am! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 More snow again today but nothing more than a very good icing sugar look really. Still it's snow. The ladies are not impressed, Maddy is refusing to lay, in protest I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 We all went sledging today (apart from me ) but there was only a bare half inch of snow on the hills There was a sprinkling on the garden this morning but it has now gone - at least I woke up to a White Birthday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I didn't go out in the snow either, Lesley. It terrifies me . I love to watch it from the safety of indoors . Let those who can go out and enjoy it - give me a nice fire and a good book instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are forecast SNOW for tomorrow evening and Friday, in the N.West ...... so get the sledges ready ... yipeeeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 NOT FAIR !!!!! We have had it forecast for the past couple of days, but it just has not showed up Happy Birthday Lesley- I hope you have had a wonderful day It must be odd having it so near to Christmas (My Mums is Christmas Eve & my Dads New Years Day!) Its my 40th in 2006 & I am quitely dreading such a big landmark in my life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 We barely got any snow here either, just a little sprinkling first thing this morning- enough to mean that the car needed s"Ooops, word censored!"ing and defrosting before I could drive to work, but not really enough to qualify as real snow in my opinion. Not that I was too disappointed about that, going back to work was painful enough without having to struggle to get in. Everyone at work today was in a really miserable mood, staff & patients alike, it was quite clear that no-one wanted to be there and it was a horrid, horrid day It looks like Tom & Ollie had a great time sledging Kate , my 2 had high hopes of sledging too, maybe we'll get some snow down here soon- ideally before Tuesday when they're back to school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 No proper snow here in Banbury, just left overs from Boxing Day It has been looking like snow all day, but nothing has happened - I understand that it is forecast for tonight though.

Lesley Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 We've just had another inch of snow Clare - just up the road from you. It is supposed to rain early morning though. Look on www.metcheck.com to check on your area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I've heard that snow is foecast for the entire east coast, including the South East overnight and tomorrow, before it starts to warm up and rain tomorrow afternoon. Fingers crossed that we actually get some this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 KateA - the weather forecasts keep saying the snow is in Kent - has it missed you then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Yes, Lesley, no snow at all in Dartford, yet other areas very close to us are deluged with the stuff. I'm quite baffled, and the children are very disppointed, they want me to drive them to Gillingham, Chatham or somewhere similar tomorrow if we still miss out on snow, simply so they can go sledging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
