Yep, lots of the white stuff here in milton keynes. Just been outside making snow angels. Got ambushed by Mr booboo with his lethal supply of snowballs.
Just the BooBoos playing in the close, screaming and howling with laughter. Neighbours stuck indoors being boring!!!!!

Anyway, we had good fun...

Wife suggested that she took a picture of it as we may never see it again.
So i sent her out with a camera and scraper."De-Ice the car as well then", "It'll be the First and Last time YOU'll ever do that".

I have been working in my sons school all week and the children have all been so excited about the prospect of snow. I must admit i feel very excited.
It's coming down here now, I love it when it snows

Trust me girls nobody would want that temp with that humidity, the combination of both feels more like 50C. Nothing nice about it at all. Extreme UV, will probably allow about 9 minutes in the sun! Still we should get a cracker storm this afternoon.
Australian summer weather is pretty hard to describe but its not exactly gently warm, furnace is a word often used
