YES I MISSED IT!! I knew having a lie in today would have it's advantages, that, and the fact it was damn cold to get my jacksy out the pit. Well that's this winters snow hopefully so I'm in agreeance with accymel BRING ON THE SUMMER!!
LOL i had a lie in too so i missed it yippeeee cos it was too toasty in the duvet saves on heating bills lol ...... MMMmmm tinks i can smell the barbie now
Well it must be cold out coz I live and work in London (don't ask me why) and it actually started snowing outside about an hour ago.
Not real snow mind, just bitty snow with the odd few proper flakes that doesn't stick but just makes everywhere a bit wet.
However, this is a rare sight down here and tends to send Londoners into a bit of a panic (when we DO get proper snow, the city and transport system shuts down because they're not used to it). I heard one of my co-workers say "oh no, It'll take me two hours to get home tonight".
Here in sub-tropical Lymm I woke up at 6 a.m. to find a blizzard outside. I got in my car at 7.15 and there was 2" of snow on it and still blizzarding. When I got to Warrington, less than 7 miles away, there wasn't a bit of it to be seen and mine was the only car in the car park with snow on the roof.
My granddaughter is 6 and she has never sledged or built a snowman. My grandson is 20 and he has only sledged 3 times - when he was a little boy.

Drat i missed the snow, just got back yesterday from a week in Tenerife. But have read on teletext that we are meant to get a lot of snow next week. Seeing is believing though.
I also heard that the MET Office is predicting yet another cold snap with snow on it's way ....... I'm sure they do it just to tease poor Simon lol!
I have noticed they've had a little snow in the North Yorkshire Dales , well on Ingleborough anyway ... I can see it on a clear day from my living room window
Dougie your the man with the 'know' is Ingleborough near Ingleton, classed as a mountain or just a large hill? Also am I correct in thinking it's were the Dales meet the Lakes?
No your wrong (again) my beautiful little fairy (please note I’ve never clapped eyes on her) Ingleborough is my favourite Yorkshire Mountain which stands at 2,373 ft. I’ve walked up it three times, twice last year and its no where near the lakes.
There use to be an Iron Age fort on the top of it. It's very cold up there and gets very windy, but if you get the chance please go up and enjoy.
