mercurydancer 1,104 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Its cowd up here near Durham. Minus 3 outside, but wet and horrible with it. Wind picking up too. Just the weather I hate. I too prefer a good strong snowstorm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,505 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I HATE SNOW and ice, but only because my car is so bad in such conditions. Roll on Springtime! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MELTONSTILTON 452 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Am I odd ? I like snow, well you have to where I now live, halfway up a mountain and a short drive from a skiing centre, we have 5 months of it every year... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Snows great if you're a kid, got kids, feel like being a kid, like skiing, toboganning, like sitting in the warm looking out at snow. Crisp new snow on beautiful scenery..... snow is great! Until it becomes slush. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I was stuck on the A34 near Oxford a couple of years ago. Six hours, no food only water, dying for a pee. Managed to turn round and struggle to Stoney Middleton and find a hotel. No joke I can assure you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,505 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 We really got a lot snow 2 or 3 years ago didn't we? Cars abandoned all over the place. I never got my car out of the garage for weeks, it just wasn't worth bothering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Think of the money you saved on petrol though Lizzie .LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banjo48 928 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Remember when I worked for BT in the early days, hanging off the top of a telegraph pole somewhere or other in a blizzard ! trying to replace lines that had given up with the weight of the snow. Trying to drive from one appointment to another in ridiculous conditions. Looks nice when it's fresh and clean and pretty, but that's about it, as said great for kids, big kids and sledging, but not so good for oldies trying to keep warm on their meager pensions and struggling to get to the shops for their essentials. Then it all turns a dirty slushy brown, yuk ! Can't say I miss it much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 When I was driving for a living, I was on the A19 in Durham. I pulled into a lay by in a driving blizzard to tighten my tarpaulin and adjust my frozen ropes. In the short while I was stationary, the trailer wheels had frozen up. Again, no joke !

katyjay 5,090 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 After having 27 snowy winters in N. Arizona, I can assure you that snow looks so much better on a Christmas card. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 After many years in Canada snow is one of the few things I don't miss. Always keep an empty jar under the seat for potential traffic jams. I'm sure I don't need to explain further. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Don't tell me, don't tell me!! You pee in and throw it over the driver in front who is causing the traffic jam. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 I hope it stays away till after Friday, when they are coming to line the chimney and fit our new wood burning stove! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mercurydancer 1,104 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 My house isnt built for a wood burner, as it has no actual chimney, being built in the idealistic 1980s where central heating was the way to go. This is a sadness to me as I can actually get my hands on large amounts of wood to burn. There is nothing finer than the heat a wood burner puts out. So comforting. Its also often more entertaining to watch than the telly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
