    What i'd like to know is where was the snow on christmas day?! We had it before and after but not during :(

    I actually would be quite pleased to see it piss off cos it stops you doing anything!! Since I crashed my car just before xmas I hardly trust myself driving my new car let alone in snow and ice so I have to get the pissing bus to work and also cant just jump in the car and go out whenever i want :(

    Travelling from Plymouth to London. Thankfully, it went ok.

    We have so much snow that it's impossible to get out at all, which stops us having to worry about sliding cars etc. Although it's therefore impossible to visit my grandad in hospital who slipped on the ice on xmas eve.

    But as I have exams after christmas, and if they are delayed more than a week I just get my target grades, I am NOT wishing the snow away any time soon!!

    I miss the December snow that I got.. I hope I get some more. I myself had a rainy christmas, but there was snow still left on the ground from before when it snowed. So it was like a soggy white christmas.

    I am having an extra week off school due to teh snow. We have about 15-18inches. Tbh we have had worse this is just a good amount for a few snowmen ;) but it is too deep to sledge in up in the hills, you just kind of sink lol

    Same thing I do every day as there has been snow every day for a month and another 6-9 inches by friday.

    Hasn't there been quite a lot of snow there already this year? Why is there *still* excitement about it? Its not new anymore!

    I know..! I remember once, when I was about 5, but this is the first time for AGES..!

    And I flew off a jump and STRAIGHT into a tree today, and now my head has a lump on it. But I'll be back out with the sledge tomorrow :)

    There was something in Efford about an ambulance colliding with a car. Can't find the story about the buses colliding with each other though.

    I went out for a walk:

    Not for that long, though, cause the snow kept falling in my wellies :(

    Then I watched Mr Olive try (and fail) to dig out his car. Oh dear.

    Then I tried to find my car. I swear I left it on the drive somewhere :chin:

    We've got about as much snow on our car as you have Olive! my mum has swept it all off with the mop :eek2:

    The schools are all closed here so my brother and sister are at home. I wish he'd go out, he's being a pain!

    had a lovely snow walk yesterday though :)

    If I didn't have to work, I would be enjoying this snow. I wish I was a kid again. :(

    It's a good plan! I ended up taking a sweeping brush to mine :yes:

    I'm just gutted that I've got a hill with 8 inches on snow in front of me, a day off and a snowboard upstairs which I'm not allowed to make use of :(

    West Kent has been hit, locally it's not too bad though only a couple of inches.

    Let's face it, two inches never impresses anyone ;)

    on tuesday, i was off work anyway. my fella got sent home around lunch time so we went out in it later on, popped to our local wood/park thing, watched some kids sledging, took a few photo's, made a few snow angels and then my fella made a snowman in our back garden.

    on wednesday, i was forced to stay at home as my car was snowed in and there was no way i was going to get it off my drive. my fella also got the day off work. we didn't go out in it. we decorated a room in our house instead :D

    today? i went to work and nearly died in the snow. one, whilst i was out patrolling in it and two, whilst driving in it on the way home. despite travelling at 10 mph, my brakes failed to work when approaching a roundabout. it didn't stop and i ended up nearly crashing into the middle bit whilst cars were approaching me on the right hand side at speed. not nice :no: i shit myself!

    i just want this snow to fuck off now tbh. i've had enough of it. its making my job difficult and driving difficult and quite frankly, its making me miserable.
