Anyone in the UK seen some of the white stuff?
-
Snow? I could sunbathe today!
Seems to have been more sun here in the past week than we had all summer.
:-?
-
Had a fair amount this morning in Newcastle - which froze to form a thick sheet of ice! Slid my way to work.
Worse weather is expected. My fingers were burning with the cold.
-
Heh heh seems that way here too..
Nothng but some whispy cloud and sun..
Lots of frost this morning tho.
-
We are slowly getting a few flakes of snow at the moment, yeah just a couple :-x i think it will come down much heavier any hour now, it looks ready for it. about bloody time to, err i hope :-)
-
Lob us a snowball over mate :-)

I didn't see this morning, I only woke up ten minutes ago ;-)
Hell, I'm off out for a walk before the sun disappears :-D
-
errr well it's stopped now, bugga!
According to the weather forecast anyway, most of the UK should be covered in snow by tonight, seems quite heavy in the parts it has shown on the news.
-

Way to light so nothing layed either, here have a snowflake! umm no wait, there is none of them either :-x
-
I don't want snow, I want ice! I want to skate on natural ice!
-
Nah snow rocks!!!
I love sliding in the car heh heh
-
AND ITS JUST STARTED!!!

-
Gah....they've been saying it's gonna snow for days now....haven't seen a single flake yet....

Yup :-D
Not a lot though. Started about 3ish this afternoon and has only just stopped. Grey clouds are still looming overhead, so there could still be a lot of snow to come here :-D
-
JUST STARTED TO SNOW IN SWANSEA!!!
-
I'm all the way down in the SE (Kent) - not even so much as a flake here. Got loads of wood stacked up inside in preparation though.....
-
Heh Heh its gotta be done :-)
-
Never experienced snow in my life
-
We eventually got snow tonight but it looks like it will have thawed out come morning.
Little rant: Why does this weather bring out the stupidity of road users? Bit of snow on the ground and everyone decides that:
(a) It's a great idea to drive twice as fast as usual
(b) It's perfectly reasonable to leave your vehicle in the middle of the main road with hazard lights on while you pick up a pack of fags, because there's 1/8th of an inch of snow on the ground.
Grrr!
-
pick up a pack of fags
That might cause some amusement for the Americans on AOrg.... ;-)
-

I was thinking that, and out of my eye corner it looks like ' pick up a pair of fags' ;-)
Edit: Actually, I suppose 'pack of fags' is more amusing if you think of pack like 'pack of wolves' :-D
-
Yeah, thats what I was thinking
Anyway, what are you doing up at this unholy hour? :-)

I'm falling back into the late to bed, late to rise habit again, unfortunately. I don't feel tired enough to sleep at the moment, but I got a couple of new Hitchcock DVDs to watch, so I'm sorted. Heh heh. I need a serious dose of motivation though, my house is a tip. (Hmm, where's the :shame: emoticon?)
And you sir? What's your excuse for being unholy at this hour? :-D
-
Edited: I'm getting confused :crazy:

My sleep cycle's screwed too.
I've been going to bed at 4am and getting up at Midday
I have a late night on Saturday and it just carries on like that through the week.....
I find I get some of my best work done at night when its quiet. I love the night
Update - its 1.45am here in Kent, still no snow, but a friend in Cambridge says there's about two inches there...
Soon it'll be here....ah, another excuse to stay up...
edit: it's really really cold here. I've got the fire stoked right up and I'm still cold....
-
A lot of snow here in Yorkshire.

That's a worrying picture. The Earth appears to be caught in some kind of big... net... thing...
:-?
:-)

:lol:
The fire's going so hot now that the dog whinged and moved further away....
edit: 2.45 and its finally snowing, very gently tho...
-
I had 10 flakes on the car this morning.
Im really peed off now.

Um.....you don't look at maps a lot, do you? :-)
AND WHERE'S THE FRIGGIN SNOW. Shees....
-
We got some snow last night. It's been freezing for weeks, but as soon as the comes down some snow the temperature rises and it melts away directly.
the mornig after, the temerature has fallen again and all that melted snow has turned into ice. Yummie! :|
-
I was born a Yorkshireman
Well I was born a Londoner :-) But it's quite peaceful up here, nothing hectic about the place at all, lack of pollution... definitely makes a difference from London.
-
It snowed in Beds/Herts area from 11:45 til about 1am last night.
This morning it took twice as long as normal to get into work because of the ice and people driving verrryyy slooowly. Then I got sent to Uxbridge for the rest of the day, so that should be fun on the way home on the M25 tonight! :-o
Please don't snow anymore (well not until I'm home :-D )
-
Born and raised in swansea!
Unfortunatley.
The land of burning motor's.
-
started to snow here at around 10pm last night, and around 3 inches fell.... made it fun coming back from sheffield.... took us almost 3 hours... Today its been snowing again and about 2 inches have fallen, so now theres a nice deep covering out there... and my cats petrified of it :-)
-
Damm you daz!
Why am i the only one with none of the white stuff?
Grrrrr!
-
At the end of last night we had about 1/2 an inch of snow. And it hasn't snowed since :-x
I want more snow! NNNOOOoooowwwwwww! :-D
@iamaboringperson
Everytime I see your avatar I think it's Karlos that's posting :-P

I visited once, although I didn't get to see much. I do remember some acquaintances having bricks thrown at them for wearing black clothes... was kinda scared to return then! Ahem... I'm sure it's not so bad.
Aaaand it's snowing like a mo fo here at the moment! :-)
-

Besides just a few flakes of it here yesterday for all of 5 minutes we have had nothing yet either, i'm holding out that it will be today or tommorrow.
C'mon!!!!!!
Just about to lash down with rain by the look of it though, dark as f00k.
-
Plenty of it here - had a blizzard. Really thick and heavy blanketing everything :-)
-
Accidently hit submit twice... Sorry.
Tis very cold though.. but im ok. I love VNC! Im just sitting here in my office taking control pf ppls machines and fixing em from afar. This blinking Navburg worm or what ever it is, is everywhere.....
-
It's snowing here right now :-D
But it's not a lot :-(
Looks like there could be more though - the sky's full of fluffy darkish clouds :-D

Scary, isn't it? It's even stranger for the person it belongs to, sir_inferno used my first Zippy avatar a few months back and it was indescribably weird.
Dale's barking at the snow. :-)
-
bah, the snow does not stay here.
-
@Speel
Know the feeling. We had it like that two weeks ago. There probably came 150 cm of snow in two days, but there is only five left... :-x
-

It's started and stopped snowing twice here today - but there's been loads in the last hour, and it's already quite thick :-o :-) (map here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ukweather/midlands/precipitation_12.shtml))
-
Well still i have no snow. Im starting to get depressed now. My love for snow is fading by the second...
Oh and in swansea they threw bricks? Your lucky it wasnt a gun and a drive by...
Swansea - The Welsh BronX!
-
Scary moment driving in to leeds, going slowly down a hill all of a sudden the back of the car comes sliding round and nearly passes me, the car slides onto the kerb and towards a painful looking wall. Luckily managed to get some traction and stopped before impact, phew that was close!!!
-
oooo mighta been nasty!
dont complain tho, at least you got snow =oD
-
I have just decided. I HATE this country. Its just started to rain, big style. This isnt fair. Totally SUCKS!!! Hmm hopefully up on higher ground there will be some of the white stuff....
Wales is crap. total crap (swansea is anyway).
-
Aww come on!
Wales isn't crap!
You have a great rugby tradition, male voice choirs, very changeable weather (or at least whenever I've been there) ;-)
Oh by the way, I saw this film set in Swansea recently, its meant to be something of a cult classic. It's about these two brothers, their sister works in a massage parlour, and their family gets murdered in a fire by one of two crooked policemen, who is Scottish, but they eventually get their revenge at the end of the film.
If I remember the title, I'll post it here...
-
Was there a guy with a nice baritone, in the film?
Could it have been `Zulu dawn`?
:-D

You guys have the coolest flag in the world, with a neat red dragon (TRRRRRRROGDORRRRRRR :crazy: nonono stop Punkie stop! ).
And with that, you've got the neatest language in the world, wich made the largest town name in the world possible)
-
@blobrana
Yes, it was Ivor Emanuel, a one time Welsh celebrity. He had a nice voice.
Which reminds me of a really old 'joke'.
Has anyone read 'Ivor Emanuel's Ivory Manual?
No, I thought not.
Cheers,
JaX

I got pelted by charver ***** on the way home from work. They followed me home and were hurling abuse at me. I asked em to leave me alone... One got me in the face and buggered up my glasses. I used my brolly as a shield and they accused me of trying to hit them with it.
Stupid NED twats. So of course I slagged em right off - usually stuff about their dole money etc.... which they didnt like. Anyway they go away, and then they come back and they are throwing snowballs at my windows....
I had a bucket of dirty water from when I washed the floors the other day. I threw the water out the window...
SOAKED EM!!! :-D
One of them was crying !!!!
-
@Bobsirjohnny
geez, these people are quite sick in their head.
-
LOL @ Bobson!
How come that theese thing allways happen to you? You have to be living in a rough neighbourhood... :-D
-
Sadly yes. Its always the same kids - always causing the same ####. Its a group of them and they are sods. I guess its also indicative of the North East - which is sad - I mean where else is it ok for women to squat and urinate on the metro....
Still I'll be outta here soon.
-
Are you thinking of the film Twin Town? Makes swansea look well nice dunnit!
Well thats about right actually...
Still no snow. But its bloody cold and there's lots of ice to play about in!
-
@bobson
:lol: Nice one! :-D
@LinCH
It's been snowing again here - almost 3 inches deep now :-D
-
nice vince reall nice you rub it in pal
=oD
-
:roflmao:
Ahem, crazy imagery on these last few posts.
I thought my ex next-door neighbours were going to snowball me the other night, I was shaking from the adrenaline half an hour later.
-
THERE IS A CLOUD!!!
but its not snowing.

We usually don't get snow more than 2 millimeters deep, I've got to boast about it when I can :-P
-
It's nearly all melted here. :-(
-
Bah, I'm sooo tired of all this snow and chilly weather. We got around half a meter snow here. Only -10C at the moment, but it still sucks.
-
@ Graak
AHA! Gotcha! SNOW THIEF!

Someone's got swansea's snow and i want it
NOW!
:pissed:
-
Well, I've got lots on my sidewalks and you're welcome to it anytime :-) Been getting an inch or two a day here for a week....and then there's the stuff that blows off the roof. The wind chill has been below -50C for the last week off and on. My backpatio sliding door froze shut and we had to use the front door until I could bring in an extension cord to use with a hair dryer an thaw the track out. I had to pick up my brother in Law from work the other day because his wife's car had frozen solid. Sooooo, somewhere warm's looking good to me. :boohoo:
-
Dang! I wish!!
-
Must've been raining pretty heavy here last night - the snow's disappearing :-(
The roads look bloody icy too, and I've to go out in a few mins :nervous: :-)
Someone might get a laugh at me skieting on me arse :-D
-
Somebody's got Exeter's snow and everyone in this city wants it NOW!!!!!!!! :ranting:
-
Exiter dosent get snow. Swansea does. Someone has stolen it. And i think i know who..
-
Hum,
hiding it in their freezer (ice house)?
Tip for today:
- never eat yellow snow -
(this is `irony` ---for those american readers, who may not get the joke)
[The joke is in the obviosness of it all]
-
Snow? We don't need no steenkin' snow!
Some white on the ground during Christmas holidays is nice, other than that; no thanks.
/me swears as he skids up and down the snowy hills and hidden tram tracks of Gothenburg, Sweden on his racer bike. Now it's melting, what are the odds that the mess will freeze up to a gray filthy ice crust by the morning? :P
-
Well, I never did go skeiting on me arse - it wasn't icy, just loads of slush that looked like ice ;-)
Dammit, I want more snow!!!
-
heh heh well done vince :-)
there is loads of snow on the mountains about 20 miles from me, maybe its worth the trek!
-
Well, it snowed for about 5 mins again last night. It's almost blizzard like just now, but it ain't lying cause it's been pishing down all night :-x
-
We had snow for 2 days. The first day was all nice and thick. The second day it didnt snow, but it stayed cold enough to keep it on the ground (but it all went crunchy).
Now its back to usual pishing behaviour...
-
@ Linchpin
So you're saying the trolls have stolen all the snow?
-
@ Linchpin
I could sell you some of that snow we stole from you. We've got lots up here in the Great White North.

I'm just back from Glencoe. Two and a half hour drive up there this morning as it was actually snowing in Glasgow when I woke up and it continued all the way there.
Got half a day's snowboarding in and it was fantastic. About three pm the snow stopped and you could see for miles. Rannoch Moor below only had a light dusting but the hills of the glen, rising up from it, were completely white. Truly spectacular and beautiful. Reminds me why I love Scotland so much.
Drive home was only two hours as it wasn't snowing as much.
I also had the most fun I've ever had on a snowboard, as I finally figured out how to use the dsmn thing properly! :-D
All in all, a fantastic day and tonight I'm off to my favourite club again - life is sweet. ;-)
-
Sounds like you gents need to book a trip to Syracuse, NY. They got tons of snow.
And I do mean TONS! (http://www.wtvh.com/video/videopop.aspx?id=20040130parish)
-
DANG! Lots of rain now...
I think the UK is heading for another cold spell tho..
-
It's been raining here heavily for the past 4 days - with the occasional 30 min break. :-x
You'd think the sky'd be completely empty by now :-P
-
@vince tell me about it!
Im really fed up with this poxy rain. Yuk.
-
Whenever you guys are complaining about the rain, it's sunny over here... So keep grumbling! Cheers!
:-D
-
If you don`t like the weather here then just wait a minute....
[the british weather changes very quickly]

Looks like it`s snowing on the planet Venus,
[At Venus's hot lower elevations lead and bismuth (sulfide) would be vaporised and exist as a metallic mist; and on the higher hills, where it is a little cooler, the metal would condense (snow) to form a thin, highly reflective `frost` on the ground.]

Ahh... time to reclaim the thread :-)
Tis looking like there is more of the white stuff on its way to the UK!!
Bet it dosent make it down to me tho...
-
Seen some flakes trying to blow through this morning already :-D
It's bitter enough for a snow fall, just not cloudy enough yet :-(
-
Plan a picnic, and take a convertible. That way you're guranteed at least some kind of precipitation, you just have to hope that it's frozen! :-)
-
even though this topic is old, apparently there'll be snow on wednesday... :-)
p.s. yey, 500 :pint:
-
Damn, I'd be glad to send you as much as you could handle, if the shipping wouldn't break me. Right now, Northern Michigan looks like Siberia. Checked my neighbors Propane tank recently, snow was clean up to my thighs, then we had the freezing rain. Spring can't come soon enough for me. All the best...Art

We didn't get any more snow yesterday, well, except about 20 flakes at about 4pm :-(
Bright and sunny now, not much cloud cover but it's still baltic.
@sir_inferno
:pint: congrats!
-
Er, there was `white-out` conditions here this morning...
But , now it sunny and all snow is gone...(hum, wheres that hamper...)
I`ll just pop outside...i woun`t be long...
-
Here, its just patchy cloud. HOW BORING!
-
It's Snowing!!! at last, none of that count the flakes crap either i had seen a couple of weeks ago, this time it's coming down proper heavy and it's laying, I'm away for a walk :-)
-
Lucky git!
Seems like most of the snow's still up in Aberdeenshire. None of it is getting down to us yet :-x
/me taunts the snow and shouts BRING IT ON!!!!
:-P
-
Lucky git!
Yeah i thought so to, now it's stopped and mr bloody sunshine has shown his face, it's pretty much thawed out already. dammm! just when it was starting to show promise :-(
Ah well suppose to get more later today, won't hold my breath though.
/me taunts the snow and shouts BRING IT ON!!!!

Don't forget to send some over here, share the stuff ffs ;-)

Hum,
You don`t have any bars on the window?

We had about 20 mins of snow here earlier, but it rained earlier today and it couldn't settle :boohoo:
-

Snowing again here. Actually had to bash the ice of my bicycle lock this morning :-).
