My cat has similar enquirys! Shes sat at the window with her paws up trying to catch snow. I chucked her out back but she sprinted in lol

Yep the day out has been cancelled but the kids aren't too bothered cos they've gone off sledging now!!!

My 2 have just come back in after half hour cold & brought half the snow in

My cat has gone and hidden somewhere. We have a cat flap and it's so funny when he needs to go out - you can see him hovering at the flap, then he flies out, shaking his paws on every step to shake the snow off as he's walking, gets his spot, wees, then comes back before you can count to ten.

Still coming down over here, it’s quite wet now with signs of turning to sleet. Anyone travelling please do so with care and good luck.

Yeh be very careful seems gritters have managed the motorway but quite treachourous elsewhere else take care

harwood red · 12-03-2006, 11:32

awwww but it does look pretty though. But thats all I like about snow, looking at it. Oh and I do like to be the first one to walk in brand new snow but I think I might just give that a miss today

grannyclaret · 12-03-2006, 11:40

garinda · 12-03-2006, 12:22

The gritters were out last night, they were going up Ormerod St at about 8.30pm. Not sure about Willows Lane because my car ain't leaving the Avenue today

My car isn’t going anywhere to day either, I planted a couple of these last night along with some tins of John Smiths. Just been out to pick a couple……..wow, super chilled, absolutely beautiful although the John Smiths taste a bit Smokey…

It looks like it is getting a bit slushy now and it seems to be sleeting very finely now... how long do you reckon before it starts raining?? Although the sky looks really white and still full of snow
