Re: The UK has had snow !!!!!
 

As usual, Cornwall has had bu**ar all, just the rain and hailstones. My kids were really peed off this morning when they saw on the news that up in Wales (where nanny and grampa are) they had 10cm. I had to give the old consolation line of "But, you see, when we're in Canada............". Does anyone else still in the UK use this line?

Re: The UK has had snow !!!!!
 

Trust me, the novelty of snow will wear off quickly once you move to Canada and get fed up shoveling it, or get salt stains on your clothes every time you get in (or even near) your car:sneaky:

Re: The UK has had snow !!!!!
 

I know. Familiarity breeds contempt, or whatever.
But for now, it's a novelty, so we'll go make snow angels and behave like kids...

Re: The UK has had snow !!!!!
 

Ah now you see here in Calgary there are six of us (at least) who like to see the snow, but would rather it was falling about 150km west. (Lovely powder for the weekend).

Now you're talking!

Re: The UK has had snow !!!!!
 

And a seventh who couldn't care less if it snows or not. :p

Re: The UK has had snow !!!!!
 

Yeah i'm tired of it already.... LOL.... Friggin salt. Frozen salt. Black tar-coloured snow. Messy footprints all over the front entrance. Salt stains all over the car floor. Salt stains on my jacket from accidentally touching the car. I forgot my gloves. My fingers are going to fall off. Layer 1. Layer 2. Layer 3.. Jacket on. Jacket off. Boots on. Boots off.

Repeat until at least 15 March.

You'll see.

Re: The UK has had snow !!!!!
 

This made me laugh.......(from the BBC report)

"Overnight temperatures could fall to as low as -3C (26F)" :eek:


Here the high of -15 degrees tomorrow ..... and still it snows! :rofl:

Do you remember people in the UK saying .... "Hmmm no, it's too cold to snow" :blink: :D
