...at length.

I'm old enough to just about remember when we used to get a couple of days of heavy snow every winter. Peter Simon from TV's Blue Peter even came out to our vilage when I was 8 or 9 to do a piece about us ice skating on the fens.


That's as close as Bilbo would get to the snow. He's not a happy bunny at the moment. He just sits on the windowsill and growls at the snow.



Snowy garden, my tyre tracks are already filled in. It's only about an inch of snow, but I slipped and slided so much driving back (on gritted roads too) that I'll be on public transport tomorrow, if I go in at all.


Snowy street. The snow is really fine polystyrene balls now and it's making a hissing as it falls. It's quite eerie because it's really quiet out and everything sounds muffled.


Snowy tree which didn't come out very well.

They're forecasting up to 7 inches tonight. I doubt that'll actually happen and we'll actually get a freeze and miles upon mile of black ice. (See public transport comment above).

As lovely as it is, it had better all be gone by Wednesday, I have a evening class to get to and it's down loads of horrible twisty country roads that are all unlit. Woes.

Yar, I have similar 'it had better be gone by...' thoughts about Thursday. I haz audition for Midsummer Night's Dream in a church hall in Barnes which already necessitates a 20 minute walk to Hammersmith in the middle of the night - skidding around on black iced pavements will not help with this.

According to my sister, the forecast is that it'll keep snowing until Thursday... of course I don't know if that's all across the UK.

It's lovely in my garden at the moment. I haven't seen this much snow in a long time.

Bilbo is so cute!

Good luck with the snow.

Why do you use Blue Suit Doctor no matter how we put it in our headers?

Are you trying to avoid wank with the Handy vs. TenII thing, or just arrogantly declaring, "Because this is what I have decided everyone shall call him!"?

I used to live about 15 miles from Peterborough about 20 years ago.

Agreed. I just wish we got one too.

I know! The innuendo is just so intentional, but just keeps on coming. As you can see :p

No, black ice is absolutely no fun at all.

Ah, just wondered - parents are in Lincolnshire and I thought it'd just be my kind of coincidence that you were from Boston too!

I used to live just outside of Bourne. Although we do have friends in Boston.

Bilbo is super grumpy instead of cute at the moment.

I love the snow, as long as I'm not driving in it.
