Snow??

[Splatcher]

Yes, the blue skies here have been replaced by a dull greyness. The snow has been turned to a white and black slushy mess from all the rain we have had overnight and all day.
We can all now sit and complain about this new weather phenomenon!

Or we can sit here thinking about spending next weekend in the Lakes, where I suspect a little snow may linger even then. In fact, we may even have to walk in 4 miles. We're staying at Hartsop, and according to the AA and the RAC the road's closed between Glenridding and Troutbeck.

I never once complained about the snow so i shall make up for it complaining about the rain.

That comment wasn't aimed at you or anyone in particular Al! But generally the whole country/media has made a big fuss over the snow! Crikey this is what winter should be like!
It's a shame it has taken a few lives in the process though, very sad!

It will be stunning. Enjoy!

Aye i knew what you mean.
Ive arranged that when it snows like this again in another 30-40 years time, all my sledging pals will have to meet up again and sledge.
Apparently, they'll be old and knackered by then and i'll still be running back up the hill every time like a child.

Yeah it's been fun just watching all the sledging clips. Unfortunately no fun in the snow been had by me. Apart from building a wee snowman! Shame really as I think I could have had some good snowboarding practice!

Looks like another load on it's way tuesday night/wed morning and then a thaw come the weekend. It will be slow though,and then you'll be wishing the snow would return as it wil be a hell of a mess once this stuff melts.
Up to 18inches by me in Salop.

Of course when it does thaw you better hope it's a slow one or there is going to be one mother of a flood.......

I can see it now on the news "following this years impressive snow a totally unpredictable flood has caught all un preprepared..."

Oh and Al It has Just stopped.
