NE Essex coast: no snow lying at all today, and lovely sunshine over the sea. We only had a sprinkling of snow yesterday (now melted). | ||

We've had very little snow up here in Denmark this winter. But cold for sure. Brrr. Looks like we just missed the snow that hit england. | ||

>>>I've got a foot outside my house. Reread Ramsey's 'Calling Card' and be prepared to deal with this problem rather more effectively than Mrs Harris did. | ||

Belgium: we woke up to a nice blanket yesterday, but most of it's already gone. 44 degrees! I for one wouldn't mind living in a country with such temperatures . . . | ||

Got around ten inches of snow over sunday night and yesterday - it's quite bright today but still cold, so the snow's still here... Our back garden yesterday morning when we'd only had around five inches of the stuff:-  | ||

Everyone was out on our street making snowmen and tobogganing. As I live in the highest or second highest market town in England nobody felt guilty about staying at home. We helped some get their cars back up the hill and many have freezers so no problems really. Lincoln - I couldn't cope with those temperatures. I'm a cold weather girl. Love the photo Mick. So you got more snow last night. Gary - I expected horror jokes. I'll read that story today :>) | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.97.175 |
Karim - supposed to be -2 today and the snow will stay around. Bloody hell Mick - where was that taken? | ||

Oxford hasn't been too bad. The only problems today is the icy roads rather than the snow. | ||
| Gary Fry (Gary_fry) Username: Gary_fry Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 82.20.31.211 |
Lucky Joel wasn't around. He'd say it was too cold to manage twelve inches outside; best bring it into the bedroom. | ||

Ally - that second pic is from the 'net, taken during an ice storm in North America. Apparently there are more shots showing everything thawing out, and showing that after the thaw that car's paintwork was stripped back to bare metal... | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.97.175 |
That is really impressive Mick. I doubt if we could cope with that after years of mild weather. | ||

Pretty much clear here in Northants (East Anglia/Midlands border) - snow had iced over badly this morning, so it took me ages to get into work following those folk who think 5mph is the best speed on a cleared road. But the sun's out now, so I suppose most of it will have gone by the end of the day. That picture is brilliant, Mick. | ||

Not a flake here in Whitby. Sun's shining. Kids're riding donkeys on the beach. Only one of those statements is false. | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.97.175 |
Sun's out here too but as it started to slide off the roof it froze forming icicles. Made a sphinx snowsphinx. | ||
| Joel (Joel) Username: Joel Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 217.37.199.45 |
Ally, do you mean that the sun itself froze? Forming icicles of frozen light? Maybe you didn't mean that, but you should have. It's like a frozen candle flame that you can break off and take home in a thermos to light your bedroom. | ||

Had a foot on the moors here. About five inches around Huddersfield. We were on the news, you know. I dug some elderly folk out of their house today. Took some pics on my mobile phone of general snow situation, but can't transfer to computer alas. It's bloody cold. | ||

My students skived my lecture yesterday and were spotted building a seven foot snow cock on the Bristol Downs in direct competition with my breast surgeon colleague's tutorial group constructing a massive pair of the aforementioned organs on a local roundabout. Both sculptures have been deliciously described by the police as eyesores. | ||
| Joel (Joel) Username: Joel Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 91.110.200.144 |
And strangely enough, though the snow all around has frozen solid overnight, the snow cock had shrivelled and fallen after thirteen minutes. | ||

The snow breasts, on the other hand, have remained unblemished and complete. Because the mammaries never fade. | ||

The snow you're getting, chaps, is but the tip of the iceberg compared to Poland when it really hits. Pun, again intended. It dropped to 33 minus at Xmas. But once you're wrapped up you don't notice the difference between 15 below or 30 below. Mind you, I wrap up so much that I look like a human snowball; one push and I go rolling down the street. | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.123.126 |
Calling the pun department. Joel - please make a pun out of Poland/rolling/iceberg and Frankenstein/Franken something... | ||
| Craig (Craig) Username: Craig Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 75.4.239.57 |
When Frank goes drinking during a snowstorm in his home town, and then is kicked out and must stumble home; then, according to Frank's own description, you get to experience, for a few brief moments... Frank 'n' stein - rollling Pole and ice - burgh. Er... assuming Frank's Polish. And still has his drink. And is using a Scottish term for town. Etc. | ||

I'd a lucky escape 7 years back when I stupidly tried to drink vodka, shot for shot, with an ex-street fighter, who drank vodka like water. My friends said I disappeared from the party and was found face down in a two feet high snow drift at 25 below. Luckily, they came out to look for me and found me lying comatose. BUT, if nobody had come to look for me...well, it gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. And no, I don't drink anymore. | ||
| Allybird (Allybird) Username: Allybird Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 79.70.123.126 |
Mmm but then going on from that we could have Frank polish off a beer and ...oh what is that nursery rhyme...with a nick nack paddy wack give a dog a bone (I used to say brick as a child) this old (obviously not) man came roaming home. Help. | ||

Decided to be adventurous, took my dog on the moor. She really liked, ran round like a wild thing. But then found the snow getting deeper. eventually jumped in a dirft deeper than her and I had to dig her out, wade knee-deep through the thicker stuff with her in my arms. Brrr. Cold clear night ahead. Studs of stars above the white of the fixed snow is quite a sight. | ||
