24 February
Protest

I'm protesting because I was all ready for work and the radio said ".....if you are sitting in London looking at the sleet" which I was "don't be fooled - there are at least 5cm of snow on the way". Now I know that 5cms of snow isn't much but in the centre of London it's enough to cause havoc and anyway I was looking forward to a nice bit of snow. So I raced upstairs and changed into Jeans and boots and off I went. And.... there's NO SNOW. Not only that, because I was wearing jeans I kept thinking that today was Friday and I'm fed up that I have to go to work again tomorrow. So, I made my own snow in protest.

You can have some of our snow from here in oxfordshire! traveling to work on friday took forever because people kept loosing control of there cars. I had to stop 4 times to help people!
I do like your snow but Im hoping it all melts away soon!

True enough ! A bit of snow and the country grinds to a halt, even at the thought of it...

Gail, we've had snow in Sheffield all day but not as bad as the forecast. Also, because of the news saying how bad the roads would be I've left for work really early every day this week and am now so tired. The threat now is for black ice tomorrow morning so I suppose I'll be up early again!

Me too!! My PaD was going to be the drifting snow!

I'm with you on that!! They promised it faithfull all week, high risk blah blah blah, and nothing... just cold and a bit damp. It's so disappointing, I really want some nice snow photos!!!!
