It's Snowing!

Re: It's Snowing!

LOL My seventeen year old Godson has never seen enough snow to build a big fat snowman - you know the ones where you roll a ball of snow around the park and grows really huge? He build a real skinny one once but it melted before the day was out. The kids would wonder what hit them if we had a really big snowfall. It was kinda nice though. Lol

Why don't we get snow like that anymore? My son's 12 and he's never seen a really decent fall of snow - today was about the best, but it was only a couple of inches. Do you remember when it used to be so deep you could hardly walk? Falling into snowdrifts - lovely! Must be getting old.

Global warming.

Yeppers, do I remember. In 1981 (I think) I remember waking up and there being snow up to the roofline of our house! (It was a drift because of where our house was situated). Elsewhere it was between two to four feet. The ploughs came out and everyone went to school and work. In fact, I don't remember my school ever closing because of snow! And you shoulda seen the flippin' hill we had to walk up to get to school! The snow didn't melt until May that year. Brrrrrrrrrrrr. Lol

Aww, I hope it lasts for you. You go and have fun in the park. You never know when it'll happen again.

Re: It's Snowing!

I feel like a real weenie here in San Francisco. It go down to 48 degrees last night, and should sit right around 54/5 today.. but it is cold for us, and the dang furnace quit yesterday!
Got a repair guy coming this morning, and meanwhile we are bundling up and drinking Bill's wonderful tea..

The English word "lovely" applies! Glad you are enjoying it. Wait til you try the Cardamom.

Very strange weather this year. No snow, 20ºF about -6ºC and sunny.

Re: It's Snowing!

Lucky you!!! Having snow - out here in Vietnam it is 34 degrees celcius so I don't expect I'll be seeing any snow for a while. Haven't seen any rain for about 3 months either. Hope you all keep safe in the snow in dear old Blighty.

Re: It's Snowing!

Just a quick note to Girlonthehill,

I used to live in Marsden and used to travel regularly "overt'hill" to sunny Rochdale, I say sunny because if it was raining in Marsden it was usually sunny in Rochdale lol

Re: It's Snowing!

Far too cold to snow here ........ hmm, I can't decide what is worse ... 75cm to shovel or -20ish ...

Wouldn't mind having some of your choices Choco ... I think I'm ready for a sweat, and not one from the flu, had that, and not a sweater either, have that too, .... just a good old fashioned sweat ... lol ... would thaw the toes u know.

LOL Well whoda thunk it? You all the way over there in HCM City knowing Rochdale! Lol We didn't get any snow at all yesterday! Half the country ground to a halt but we didn't get a sniff. Lol You must have picked good days to cross the Pennines, Neale! I used to live in Middleton and had line of site to Winter Hill (over Bolton way) and we'd say if you can't see the hill, it's raining and if you can then it's about to rain. Lol It's proper wet up 'ere, that's for sure.

I think I'd rather cold and wet that the oppressive mugginess that you'll have down there. Phew.
