Today, most of North-Eastern England was hit by snow, including where i live! Everything where i live is now coated in an inch or so of snow, and with any luck it will probably snow heavily again during the night.
Did anyone else get snow?

We never get snow...I tell you, Cumbria, Merseyside, Dublin, Dumfries, Galloway, North Wales, Northern Ireland and Anglesey can all be covered in snow and the isle of man will not be touched, it's a christmas conspiracy!

Re: Snow!
We just got blasted. Days and days of it. Now it's supposed to rain on Thursday so everyone is freaking out and screaming for us to shovel their roof before three tons of snow turns into six tons of wet concrete.
Backbreaking work but it pays well.

Re: Snow!
Thats what i dont get, comparing countries that have snow all the time, like Canada, and countries that have snow 1 day a year, like the isle of man.
You guys carry on with your normal lives, but we get an inch and not even cars are on the road

Re: Snow!
Slight snow this morning, but wasn't awake to see it. Far away from home for
the last week, and won't be back for a while yet. We don't usually get anything
too heavy until February. [Having said that, last couple of years have been
snowed in from Christmas Eve on to the New Year.]
Would say the novelty wears off reasonably quickly, unless you like to wrap
yourself up in that elusive spirit of Christmas I hear about every so often.
it's the **** that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come

Re: Snow!
Can't remember what exactly was the day we actually had any real snow this year, but it came rather late though, in December.
I haven't got to define it's thickness this year but it sure is groaning nicely under shoes during walking. I don't think it's really thick, but I'd believe that it ain't going anywhere any time soon as it's minus 25 celsius-degrees (-25C) out there; I think it equals to some minus 13 fahrenheit-degrees (-13F).
The best part is that there are no bugs around.

No snow as of yet. Not very seasonal.

I live in Texas, so we don't get much, but over the last few days I had been in Kansas with some relatives and it didn't snow, but I found many big piles of snow. It must have snowed in Kansas rescently

Re: Snow!
Around 2 dm I think.
Had a considerble snowfall on christmas eve, although we had quite a bit of snow even before that.
I'll see if I can dig up a quite good photo on the snow up here, but I cannot check for it until the weekend.
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time?

And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

Re: Snow!
living in the south west the only snow i get is 1 cm thick and full of mud and half melted by the time i get up.... it sucks
Re: Snow!
In other words, it's cold without any snow. It's the kind of weather that makes you want to stay indoors. I understand.
Wooooo!!!
Re: Snow!
This was Christmas day. Today is about 10cm more. Gorgeous out there though. A nighttime walk in a snowy world is a highlight of life. My little town is dead quiet at night and the Christmas lights shinning under the snow are very cool.
As I mentioned, we have roofs to shovel today. Once it hits the afternoon and me and my buddy are on the peak of someone's roof, I'm reaching for a small flask of my Christmas present. You want to see two grown men smile like a five year-old kid with a new pair of shoes...
It's the holidays. We're allowed.

Re: Snow!
Huzzah! about an inch of snow here, but melting now...
And I've got a bad cold, and a lack of sherry to drink or whisky to make a hot toddy...

Re: Snow!
If you travel east about an hour, and 'up' about 5,000 feet...we have snow too (tho' it hasn't snowed in my actual town since 1967). That's the snow-capped Laguna Mtns in the pic.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

You lot can have my bloody snow. It's been snowing for 2 days straight now and I don't like it. Christmas is over now. Makes driving a pain in the butt and walking through town hazardous and cold. Long lives the sun and its shiny lovely warm rays!!!
