oooh, I had a nice surprise at 4am this morning, it was all white and fluffy, and falling from the sky, yet others find it so difficult to get on with it around, even if it is a tiny amount, it makes me think that people should spend a winter in northern Canada to experience life under Feet of snow, rather than an inch or two... :P Anyway, I did this video this morning, cos I'm in a wrong-way round sleeping pattern...  | ||

Here in Wirral we are protected from rain and sbow by the mountains in Wales and the Pennines. As a result we seldom get very severe weather here. However I do remember that back then the fields near me were covered in snow. I was walking across one of these fields and suddenly fell in right up to my head where the snow had drifted across a ditch! The ponds were also frozen solid and we were able to walk with impunity on them. On the downside, the trains carrying my comics from London were unable to get through and I had to do without them for, it seemed, weeks and weeks! | |||

Yes I do and I was staying with my grandparents in Padiham for a couple of weeks, my grandfather took me up Sabden walking and I can remember him taking photograph on his box brownie of me standing like a footballer but instead of my foot on a ball it was on a bus stop which showed that the depth of snow on that country lane was at least 8 feet deep and was there for weeks. Today took me 1 hour 45 minutes to travel 31 miles to work, what a joke, 200 schools closed were the trains running? | |||

My System: Dream7020 and AZ Elite | Snow is good Up here we have a very dark time now, from november and up to march (even if it gets lighter day by day from Dec 20) so the snow helps brighten up the days and evenings. Of course You don´t need 2 meters of it Last year we only had a few centimeters and this year looks like last year so far. I can live without snow  | ||

The tracks will probably be covered up by tomorrow, up to 8" of snow expected overnight in this area | |||

Well this is what faced us at 7.00 am today, 3 inches of snow nobody able to get out of the close, up the slight incline and people retreating back to their homes, 8 hours later the rain is washing the snow away.
