Snow Day!
Archived48 replies · 1,813 views
My car was under 7" of snow. Took 20 mins to get to the main road. Sat in traffic for an hour. Sacked it off.
Just been for a lovely walk in the snow. Now home and intend to spend the rest of today horizontal and watching films. Hopefully it will continue to fall and I can do much of the same tomorrow 
There's a fair chance of a day off tomorrow Jem, apparently salt stocks are running so low that there's has been a high level decision prioritising all available grit supplies to be moved to the south east (important for the economy to keep them going and all that) so our roads could be blocked until it thaws. Fingers crossed then!
Who am i trying to kid,its fuckin freezing up here 
Woke up to about an inch of snow this morning,but thats been it,I reckon the Frankie Boyle joke about global warning and watching the Ingerlish drown,might just be truer than he knew!

uhm....erm...oh my...
Had around 4" of snow here. Most we've had in years. It was -6C the other night too.
Still made us work until 4pm though!
Wish it would stop. Now that the passport service no longer require us at night, my wonderful employer has us taking calls for Eon energy.....I now spend my nights telling people they have to freeze to death because nobody, from the call centre to the engineering contractors has made any effort to employ anyone extra during the weather.....I mean who'd have thought you'd need more heating and gas engineers in arctic weather.

uhm...they thought that with all of Al Gore's global warming it would be a balmy 78 degrees this winter...

not surprising considering she's got a full 7 inches up there.
I do sometimes feel sorry for poor Jem, knowing that the image of her emerging red-faced and sweaty from various New Order gigs takes prime place in so many fevered mental wank-banks around here.
Only sometimes, mind. She is from fucking Bolton, after all.
You pussies
We have 30 centimeters of snow, and -21C right now. It will get colder though.
That's what I call a winter! to cold for a viking like me though....
A bit to cold, even for a viking like me, though 
got up at 7, been making a 9ft snowman all day and walking the dog.
well i've spent most of it on my arse tbh.
and then again i dont have a job either:D

Took me 40 minutes to get off our estate today.When I got near work,had the lovely experience of going up hill dodging Transit vans sliding backwards towards me.It was like something off X-BOX. Tomorrow we've been told,if we can't get to our regular place of work,to pop in to our nearest Crown office to lend a hand,or if that's out of the question,then just sit on my arse...

so it'll be the latter then...

That's why the scammers call it "climate change" now..Global warming was too easy to disprove. The current rule among those who jobs depend on this shit being real is "whatever the hell the weather does, that's DEFINITELY the work of man made CO2"

I've just officially abandoned the thought of a trip to Petersfield from Sarfff London. Mind you, I abandoned that thought about 1am last night, whilst cracking open another tin.

Made it in to work this morning but was allowed home again at 10. Took An hour and ten to get from Hilsea to Waterlooville. That wasn't your abandoned car I passed was it!? (One of MANY if it was!).

Absolutely.
The only local cars that have left are the taxi drivers as always.

oh you little ..... I have changed two tires wearing only a sweatshirt when there was -18C outside.
today is only -4C and we have here snow attack, everything is damn white, driving speed is maximum 30 km/h.
texted my boss at 3.15 a.m ,, ive just got in.. will see what the weathers like... 8 a/m ring ring are you coming in,,, prat.
must have passed loads of stray cars,, very immpresive how they were mostly parked very orderly,,, thats the main reason i got back this morning,,
m8 parked all night on the A 3 and got in at 9 a.m
So COLD
worked all day yesterday and today, but now the bus isn;t going all the way home so have to walk the last mile!, why are we so shit at dealing with snow, having spoken to friends in iceland and canada we really are quite pathetic when it comes to a little bit of snow.
on a lighter note, here's my dog having a mad moment last night.
We have a famous dog in the village who drops his tennis ball outside his gate and encourages you to throw it back to him to chase,, gets a bit grumpy if you just walk on by.
living in the ice age
It could be true. France is covered with snow like it was two days ago. By now, the whole country is white.
Edit : Did it snow in Ireland? Very green on the photo.

I saw this on da news, so i don't think it is. I believe in our media.
The same media who showed footage of the first morning of the Iraq invasion, of a missile hitting a building some miles away, with simultaneous explosion. The thing is, they've fucked with heads so much some of you probably don't even know why that's an obvious fake.
