Snowed In

[Clyde]

Hiya Frosty Folks

Incase you wondering where ive got to, im currently snowed in at Highwycombe, where last evening the snow in the chilterns ( South East ) brought everything to a stand still. Councils claim they've got no grit, so no roads where prepared for the forecasted bit of snow. not even bus routes. Luckily my Mother lives in Hazlemere so I was lucky in that respect, otherwize I may of had to sleep on the bus or something.

I wonder if any of you, are facing any frosty antics?

Cheers and all the very best,
Clyde.

PS - No internet at home till after Christmas so instead of all the very best, have a very merry christmas
respect,

No snow here really but there was rain and the sidestreets are all sheathed in about half an inch of solid ice.

Very bad in fact.

We have about an inch of snow and its still coming down. So if the cold weather holds up, we might actually have a white christmas this year.

It keeps snowing on and off here, but I doubt we've had more than 2 inches. It's not melting very fast though, and most of the nearby shops are sold out of salt for some reason.

A lot of my family and friends live in and around Berkshire and were caught in the worst snow on record for the County.Some of them took 8 hours to travel 2 miles and some were forced to spend the night trapped in cars or had to spend the night away from their families at their workplace.Part of the problem was lack of gritters and snow ploughs.This was because only slight flurries of snow were forecast by the experts not the blizzrd that ensued.
How can we trust these idiot Scientist to predict the climate in 50 years time when they can't even forecast the next 24 hours.

The minute we get a little snow in the UK the whole country grinds to a halt..

Hehe, summed up perfectly there.

We used to get worse than this 20 years ago - I don't remember such disruption back then. Still, I was a child, so my memories of that time are a bit hazy. I'll ask my parents if they remember what it was like 20 years ago.

Still, it has been worse in some parts of the country than in others - here we only got a light dusting of snow, but other places had many inches.

Some cats are having fun in the snow though.

Council cutting costs, the reason it got so bad they said they'd run out of grit what aload of old shit.

And I am waiting in anticipation for that to be announced on the News / asked on Question time, as to what fcuk Rus is responsible; as that hasnt been disclosed and the Snow fall was told about on the Weather Forecast hours in advance.

It caused me a great deal of stress, and to be stranded for 4 days and I couldnt reach the bank in time for an important request; thankfully Im still surrounded by four walls, say no more.

It has all melted here, barring a little frost. The forecast for tomorrow is more snow though, especially in Wales and the Midlands.

We've stocked up on salt, just in case it comes back.

Thanks for the heads up about the new cat face episode

6 Inches of snow here and still Heavy Snow! It all so white when wake up early and I put  (shade) on  lol

[slinks]

I'm snowed in at work. I've filled 13 bags with shedding and now I'm a little bored

Burger van round the corner is open tho, so boss-man has just went to buy us all food

[Hotshot]

It is HEAVEST Snow I have ever seen for YEARS! 

[combatking0]

We've nearly got 6 inches here too. They're not throwing grit on our street, but I'm glad they're not throwing viagra on it.

that's the stuff we got in my Neighbourhood over the festive period.
And it's not arrived in my part of Bucks yet. it's due at any time.

Also they've not gritted the roads, when they've known in plenty of time about the snow fall. I was always told they have to by law grit roads, that public transport ie, buses use. I guess if they make cuts to the workmen and gritters, then they can claim expenses for those fat cats at a later date. Alan B. Stard.

It chucked it down in Swansea today for about 3 hours, it was sticking to the road and I thought it was going to get quite bad, then thankfully it all melted again, the roads are torture around here now though.. Very icy.

Horrible here. We don't even get proper snow. It comes down for about a half an hour, sticks, turns to rain, freezes, then snows for another half an hour. Can't go anywhere and can't make snowmen. No fun.
