I know this is off topic but, I love the look of your dog, what sort of breed is it?

It's stopped snowing in Nottingham now.

Edit: Ooops, clicked on the wrong smiley.

its not good, i love snow.

Its just nice to look at and relaxing clear skys now so looks like it wont be back for a while

Think Swedes had -38 celcius of cold yesterday , they predicted -45 but it didnt get that rough.
Global cooling?

blupblup - I'm in Oxfordshire too, just outside of Reading.

No buses today, so no work for me either, I decided to do the heroic thing and start drinking early. It's still coming down really heavily, we've got at least a foot and it's hard to tell where roads begin and pavement starts, my village has totally sold out of bread and milk.

Cleared my path and started on the neighbours, but the shovel broke

Isn't it just insane?

I'm just outside Oxford and man... I don't think I've ever seen it this bad.
As you say, roads and paths just blur together and it's just insane.


I DID build a snowman though

I'm in North East England and whilst we have had quite a bit of snow I don't think it's been as heavy as other regions.

Still, I've had a belly full of it, I'm sick of it freezing making it treacherous to walk.

And no-one's coming to my pub!

And another observation; when I was a kid we played in the snow for hour's.
Where are they all at nowadays?
Guess they must be at home with their XBox 360's etc.

Well here in Sheffield the sun is out now was snowing about an hour ago son's school closed again my snowman still lives hes a little bigger son failed trying to destroy him.

THANKYOU

Something terrible has happened. I was unable to make snowmen today due my gloves disappearing. And my snowman appears to have become a victim of foul play.
On the upside though, there's been more snow. And I have many a picture & video of it.

Brand new video of the snow:

And a few pictures:

My happy little face just before the gruesome discovery of the injured snowman.

Later on I found the dismembered arm near the body, half covered in snow.

I knew I should have brought it inside.

Ahh the fish man, I love that thread.. I dont understand how someone could be so violent towards it, it looks so serene and at peace with the world!

Why have I never seen this 'Lamebook' site before!? Me and my friend have just been crying over some of the stuff in the political/religious section.

I woke up at 10.30 and by that time my dog and eaten my snowchair

I went for the next best thing a pile of snow to sit on.

It's not global warming... it's just a cycle i reckon... we used to have snow like this 28 years ago+ and its just come back from wherever it went... if it is on a cycle it'll be here for 10 or 15 years

There are theories that Global Warming has caused our current weather.

www.newscientist.com...

I am in in a small village just outside the Glasgow area and we have about 4 inches of snow sitting on a couple of inches of solid ice. All the shops in my area have been sold out of any form of salt for a couple of weeks and I was given the tip that cat litter is a good substitute for home pathways :-)

It's must be global warming. oops I mean climate change.

People who claim we can start worrying about global warming on the basis of a warmer year or a warmer decade – or just on questionable predictions of warming – are as naive as a child mistaking a falling tide, or a spring low tide, for a real long-term fall in sea level. Just as the underlying change in sea level is swamped by the daily and monthly changes, so the annual variation in global temperature masks any underlying trends.

after rain usualy comes a period of non rain followed by rain

-25c atm

At least you GOT to build a snowman!! I spent the day falling on my ass and getting laughed at by geordie kids....

Well those of us in South west Michigan would say you guys just got a dusting. We've had 3 feet in the last 4 days but were used to it and the schools only missed Monday because of the wind driven drifts. Hang on the mosquitos will be back before you know it
