And I like it because I get to do no work at all then go home early :D


/me thinks I should take some games into work tomorrow...

There was loads of snow left so I made a bigger one...

It's snowed just enough to make it look gloomy, but not enough to make it look fun :(

Still going strong though, so you never know.

We got around +/-0 °C in South-Eastern Germany and its doesnt realy snow and not realy melt.. its a bit boring weather.. just gray and cold..
But it looks like winter is already gone.. sadly :(

I like the frozen forrests and the icy darkness during the winternights^^

It snowed quite a bit here and i had the most snow i've had in years. It looked lovely then at 7pm last night it started raining and now its sunny outside and everything is the proper colour again :(

I love snow but it didnt stick around long enough for me to enjoy it :(

Dribble Joy
03-02-09, 13:57
Most of the snow is still around here, but it drizzled a bit last night and then it all froze over, so it's icy as pie.

Jaffo
03-02-09, 14:23
it is still snowing here at the sea side.

/edit - scratch that, the snow has stopped :(

/edit 2 - snowing again yay

Ok the week here in Chippenham has been like this.

Monday - 7.30am it's perfectly clear. 8.30am - 2cm's of snow has fallen - me walks into work.
Tuesday - Snow clears, but it comes down thick at 5.30am - me walks into work again.
Wednesday - Snow has cleared, me drives to work and finds out what ABS feels like when it's working!
Today - Wow! 3 inches fallen here overnight....and me walks into work again!

Here's one of the pics I've taken on my walk into work this morning.

I was expecting a dusting of snow here today, not 3-4 inches!

Chippenham, it's in Wiltshire, about halfway between Bristol and Swindon.

Also, me and the everyone in the office here today just had a snowball fight outside! :lol:

All fear the Canadian Winter Storms!

I'll send in a photo once I get one.

We get a storm every few days, last one added enough snow to reach half-way up my shin. It took an hour to dig the cars out :o

I'm about 15 miles out of Nottingham. The roads are fine mate.

Jaffo
06-02-09, 13:29
sound. we have 2 inches of snow already lol and apparently the councils have run out of grit and havent gritted any roads so every one is going at 5mph!

nobby
06-02-09, 13:43
I don't understand how they are running low on salt and grit.


They've had a whole year to prepare *tut* *tut*

Jaffo
06-02-09, 13:47
yeah and i live next to the sea as well so theirs like an unlimited amount of salt their!

@Jaffo - Don't come anywhere near Wiltshire, it's worse than yesterday here.

Day 5 of Bram snowed in at work in Chippenham. As I type this, it's snowing quite thick here. The road network is screwed up around here, and walking is more dangerous than yesterday.

Here's a pic of what is supposed to be a road where I work, and a lot less people have made it into work here.

Thats just unfair in south east essex all we had is one day of snow thats it. I love the idea of the chaos it brings to everyones life. Still im hoping for more at the weekend.

Oh Brammers bizzare thing same day i wrote that question my gf randomly says how she needs to go visit her aunt in Chippenham and so also told me where it was lol

Am lovin the snow, dont live far from u Brammers.
Seen more inches of snow in the last week than I saw of anything in 10 yrs of marriage!!!!
Its just lovely for the kids, with all the global warming yadda yadda yadda they aint likely to see it like this again.
Have been snowed in off school all week, its been heaven xxxx

Hope everyone is keeping safe in it tho xxxx

06-02-09, 20:03
actually the global warming will give more snow, but less stability (afaik)

Depends on how it affects the Atlantic Conveyor. But if that shuts down we are so completely fucked.

Snow is already meltin and i think that was it for the year. (We had no snow the past 3-4 years?)

Cerbious
13-02-09, 12:14
no snow for well over a week then bamm! last night got over an inch lol... me and my m8 10pm after work driving in convoy 10mph up the road (any more and wheel spins and snaking etc) to the pub, had a pint sat watching people slid into curbs and all sort of crazy shit lol then slowly crawled home. All because no one bloody gritted the roads! was funny though like a mini adventure.

If we got our minds set on the pub nothing will stop us!

Snowed like mad last night but most of it didn't settle. All gone now, though there is still a lump where my snowman was.
