Me and my big mouth !!!! 30 mins ago I said we didn't have any .... now we do! It's not coming down heavy but the winds are swirling it around making it look thick.

I'm in Blackburn, Lancashire


Edited to say: It IS coming down heavy now! I don't like snow!

It's funny that they always mention the snow on the news - as you say it's not that rare. Like in NZ when they go on about '100 year floods' with houses floating down the river - every single year.

In Kent Snow is fallen, all around, children playing, having fun... Is that a song. My son's miffed, they haven't closed his school, but they have the one next door.

Default Re: Who's got the snow

We had several inches of snow in Surrey. Daughter and I had fun making the most enormous snowman and throwing snowballs at each other and our dog was trying to catch them, it was hillarious.
Funny thing is it wasn't cold - apart from when I laid on the snow to make a snow angel ... "I can be young once but immature as often as I like"

Sounds like picture postcard weather, is it just in the south. What about the north east.
It's lovely reading them posts from beautiful sunny Wellington - abit cooler today only a mere 24c forecast. What a life!
