We finally got ours today, after all the promises of the weathermen.
A few miserable flakes is all, as though someone shook a flour shaker over here.
Cold wind though and a frost...I just wish that, just for once, we here could have a good fall of snow.
It's just started again; a few miserable flakes, not enough to cover an Irish fourpence.
They don't call London the hot-house of the UK for nothing!

We got our snow overnight as promised. Significant accumulations. Drifting as well.
Still snowing and more forecast for the rest of the day.
I didn’t think it would materialize but it did.

It’s supposed to get heavier later, I just wonder if they were talking about the snow, or my belly. :D:D

Well, my apologies to the weather men.
It started to snow this morning and it hasn't stopped yet.
Trouble is...it's the wrong sort of snow.
Now, I suppose one shouldn't carp but, why can't we have real snow; the stuff that settles inches deep on the ground, the sort of stuff you can play in?
If I got my old mothballed sledge out it wouldn't run on the snow provided, nasty thin icy stuff and only a couple of centimetres deep after a whole morning of trying. It would be hard work trying to make a snowball, never mind a snowman.
Still, must be happy to see the ground and the trees all white.
AH! It seems to be melting already......typical!

When my daughter was about 3 we tried to build a snowman. But the snow was like sand. So we couldn't build one. Sadly we still haven't built one :(

I've built many snowmen as a child, teenager, with my daughter. Now have the joy honor to make a snowman with my grandaughter. Have built an igloo several times also many moons ago. Many snowball fights or snow battles. . An expert in shoveling snow, sled riding is a blast. Take great care while driving in snow.
