01-02-09, 04:13 PM

We have just gone from clear skies to heavy snow fall in the space of minute, if it carries on as it is I wont be able to get out of the quarry to work in the morning.....now that would be a shame.

Forecast says snow showers all night.

Pete couldn't get into work one day last year because of snow and they were going to give him a disiplinary before he showed them photographs. They obviously didn't take into account the conditions can be very different in just ten miles!

He lost a day's pay, and they wouldn't even let him take it as holiday. They are a bunch of w**kers though!

01-02-09, 04:20 PM

My works are top rank ****s but my boss has picked me up from home before and has seen the hills I need to get up which dont get gritted:(

TEC

01-02-09, 05:44 PM

Had a nice run out today :) Couple of minor flurries and it was trying to rain (or something) as I got home :( Really hoping they've got the forecast wrong as I'm on another day off tomorrow and want to take advantage of slightly quiet roads ;)

Miss Alpinestarhero

Yup got snow here. Not as good as Finland but great nonetheless :mrgreen:

Usual story here, we rarely have snow. We had a few flurries, disappeared within 30 seconds, but it is oh so cold.

supposed to be going there tomorrow ... :(

dizzyblonde

01-02-09, 08:08 PM

well its white here. Gritters been out. So by morning it'll be an inch or two thick if the forecast is to be believed....but then again I bought my son new wellies today, so that means it'll all be gone by morning.
Still waiting for YC to report in from the trip back from Wales....

No snow just outside newcastle either, I need about a foot of it and they'll shut work!!

02-02-09, 12:02 AM

Wheeeeee!

Snow, snow, SNOW!

It's chucking down- we've got about 3 inches here at the mo. I'm really excited by it. We've not had this much snow round here for years. I forgot how beautiful it is and the muffled crunching sound of walking is aces.

Went over to a mates, watched a film (Sex Drive- awesome film, seriously funny) and when I left a few minutes ago, my previous tracks were covered.

And for a change, I'm not so worried about paying for the train for work as I just got paid.

WooooOOOOOoooow!

Anyway- hot choc and off to bed. Nighty night y'all. And remember- don't throw snowballs at heads and I want pics of all your lovely snowmen!

Not a thing here and I hope it stays that way , can`t afford another "Off" due to nasty conditions ................. Bike is my sole form of transport and my place of work is nowhere near any realistic transport services .

Had a few flakes here Badger but nowt much, bleedin cold though. 7 hours to go of me nightshift yet :(

xXBADGERXx

02-02-09, 12:08 AM

Noooooooooooooooooo :( . I was gonna get up at 5 , think I`ll not bother with the 6 O`Clock start and go in for 8 , that will give the gritters extra time in the morning .

02-02-09, 12:19 AM

We haven't had any snow since just after Christmas, but it is still waist deep in the back yard. We are just waiting for a Chinook, but at least the main roads are clear (the side roads are packed ice at least 8" thick)

I`m guessing America or Canada even ?

Finally had some decent weather here on the weekend.
(1st time in 5 or 6 weeks)
Had a great ride Sunday afternoon.
Lot's of other bikers out....Sweet!!!

More snow on the way for Tuesday. :(

urbane1

02-02-09, 05:32 AM

Calgary, Alberta. The Chinooks are the dry winds that blow of Rocky Mountains. The City depends on them to clear the snow, and we have not had many this year. On January 22, 2002, the temp was -22 at 8.00am and +10 at 3.00pm, so they can clear a lot of snow when they do arrive.

Hope you all survive the winter storms you are getting now.

Lissa

02-02-09, 06:58 AM

Well, after the initial flurry yesterday, nothing much here yet, although the real stuff is supposed to hit today!

We'll see!:D

wyrdness

02-02-09, 07:10 AM

It's bad here in London. I've just tried driving to work and turned around because the main roads are so bad. I couldn't even see the lanes on the A1, and that's been gritted. Most tubes aren't running either, so that's me stuck at home today.

Lissa

02-02-09, 07:23 AM

Well, I spoke to soon! In just half an hour we've had a significant snowfall!

Bluepete

02-02-09, 07:46 AM

We have about 2cm and snowfall as well.

Just packed the kids and Mrs BP off, they have 6 miles to go. I'm on 1200hrs - 2200hrs for three days, so God knows what'll happen!

02-02-09, 07:51 AM

We have about 2cm here this morning. Not much really.

Twas a little slippery thought, too much slush. Still great fun though.

02-02-09, 12:00 PM

Grinch- that's grim! lolz. You're a braver man than I.

Though I did inadvertantly expose myself on the train home for London on Friday night (they put the locks on the loos behind you as you close the door- and the throne is in full view of the carriage. Someone designed that with a sense of humour!).

I abandoned getting at work when I got to Surbiton station- I'd probably get to Weybridge, but be stranded there.

So I had a trudge to Kingston and back to get a thinsulate hat and some food supplies. I forgot how knackering walking in snow is. I went over twice, too!

Take care out there folks and don't eat the yellow snow.

i spent hours on my tax return last week so I'm still recovering phil :razz: also, I've just spent the better part of 4 hours d!cking around with a stupid shopping cart system, so the snowman was a treat :) having said that, it has fallen to bits already.

Another benefit because of the snow is that I've just seen Mr Miyagi from Karate Kid and Ralph from Happy Days in Diagnosis Murder! AND I've just found some lost nuts and bolts from pottering around the house.

EDIT: AAANNNNDDDD the buxom nutjob lady from Police Academy. Now if Guitar Hero turns up it'll be a good day.
