Here in Essex, i woke up this morning looked out the window to see a decent covering of snow everywhere. I have 3 cats. They were out all night as i had no idea we were get any snow. When i opened the back door it was like the charge of the light brigade!! #icon_rofl# then i got a severe telling off from Poppet the black and white chatterbox

Hello Sadie. Yes, it was a lovely surprise. The rest of my family hate the snow, but after living in Australia for 8yrs roasting in their heat, i love it. Our changing seasons was one of the big things i missed about this country.
My daughter lives in Canewdon on top of that hill. Her oldest daughter is at high school and the the little one at infants school. Both of them had a day off because teachers couldn't turn get into work (or so they said) It didn't look THAT bad!! Nothing like last winter.
Did you say you were in Thundersley?

I'm about 30 miles south of York and they say it's heading this way, if you can keep it in York I'd be very happy thanks.. lol

Hi Linzi
Is it Leigh on sea you live? If so thats near me and we have.
Just thought....you might be Leigh in Lancashire?

[linzipinz]

yes I'm Leigh in Lancashire, and no snow up here just rain and ice. You could literally go skating on my street in the morning as we are on a slope the kids love it

It seems to have missed west Yorkshire out completely! I live in Leeds but have been over I Bradford all day and nothing at all! Gutted >

yes i'm in thundersley, south benfleet, we had a few accidents on the roads round here, alot of schools closed, one of two hills was closed, cars smashed into each other at the bottom of the hill, so it was bedlam!

[Blownupdolly]

Thought as much BC.
I think the snow we have had today is a pretty lame excuse for not turning up. Felt sorry for my 12yr old grandaughter. She has to get on a school bus and walk a fair bit as the double decker can't get up the small street the school is in. Only to be told to go home!

Beautycat, that was good of you to walk, its such a risk for yourself. ive brought some of those snow spikes last year for the bottoms of shoes, there great & makes walking in snow/ice much easier www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MEDIUM-ICE-NO-SLIP-SNOW-SHOE-SPIKES-GRIPS-CLEATS-QUALITY-CRAMPONS-/370683223503?pt=UK_Sporting_Goods_Climbing_Mountaineering&hash=item564e711dcf
