Not quite snowed in pretty P but couldn't move my car this morning, managed to walk to work in my wellies and am hoping to head home shortly....gonna freeze tonight so i guess tomorrow will be a struggle!

i am not snowed in but is is snowing and laying pretty thick on the ground, there is no way I will go out as it is so slippy out there

No, I'm not.

I'm getting cabin fever.

as long as the freezer's full and the snow's so bad you can't think about driving anywhere it's ok.
it's when it's not quite bad enough and you have to 'try' to get to work that it's really cack.

or getting snowed out, when you can't get home, that's a reet nightmare.

I'm not snowed in

Oh rejoice, the sky has just gone dark and now we're getting pellets of hail like bullets.

Great

I haven't left the house since about Dec 22nd or summat. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I work in the community but have been advised to only make emergency visits.....there are no emergencies so I am stuck in a cold office all day talking to you lovely lot

The snow was pretty a few days ago...now it's just pure compacted ice and is a death trap.  I hate it...I can't get out and my hubby's going away this eve so I'm gonna be stuck in the house all by myself till sat and I'm hoping it heats up because I'm panicking about food now

dont like snow


plus i didnt like the call 3 weeks ago saying that my girlfriend had pranged the car because of the snow

Well its lovely here the snow/ice/slush/ice/snow has been building up nicely outside our house. Doesn't bother me as I walk everywhere anyway, just takes a little longer. Just back from town and it was bliss as there was feck all about. Wahoo, load of wossy's.

Oh and now the weird bullety hail stuff has stopped and we have huuuuge flakes of snow *weeps*

We had fresh snowfall overnight and today si tis still very pretty here at the mo!!

if it keeps snowing, it is very pretty and is okay to walk about in...it's this dreadful ice that follows that is bothering me.

Go build a snowman!

must be coming off the coast leccy, we're just getting odd showers here.


it seems to have been like this for aaages, so long that sproglet's bored with sledging and building snowmen.

We have had an inventory of the pantry and freezer. The car is in the garage and we will rely on trudging across the tundra to the two local shops.

I'm fairly coastal.

My son came in from school and got his jammies on and is firmly plonked in front of the telly, the big un has decided to go out with her friends. The nutter.

It look set in here Leccy.

Glad I'm not snowed in - if I was, I'd be snowed in with the OH.
Once he's back in work (Thursday) I wouldn't mind being snowed in - especially if it means he can't come home.

Yep.

My friends' kids schools are closed, mine was open...don't think it will be tomorrow though.

LOL@Deman.
Snow'snot reached us yet...but looks set to hit in the next hour or so.
Yes its lovely when its fresh,but when it turns to sluch/ice its a mare.I can walk to work,but everyone else in the house is reliant on getting out of the village to work/shop/school,etc

There was snow on the ground the whole time I was back there for xmas - from the 19th. My mam is royally fed up with it now

Snowed in with OH and kids   Was great for a few days, sledging, snowmen etc but so over it now.
Well, I say snowed in, but today Mr Veg dug car out and drove to buy a new hoover.  Being snowed in with a hairy rug was driving me insane.
Mr Veg is a driving instructor so he's not worked for weeks.  Schools back on Monday, 6 more sleeps to go!!!!

Have you got the snow now Mazzy? It's been snowing here for the last hour - stopped for now though

Too much ice and snow for the refuse collectors.
The box containing glass will not now be collected for nearly a couple of weeks,
by which time the number of wine bottles will be ...er...embarrassing.
Too many for the box in fact. How humiliating to have an overflow of bottles.

I am well and truely sick of the snow,its now starting to get to me ,I hate not being able to get out and about ,have not been to the gym for over a week and its killing me!

Ours hadn't been for ages, then turned up last weekend and made a huge fuss about not being able to negotiate our icy street. We poor sods living in it had had over a week of it being like an ice rink, with cars and people sliding everywhere. One bloke who fell over outside our house needed an ambulance. Council refused to grit.

Then the binmen moaned they might fall over, or bump their lorry. Presto - gritted!

forget the gym! just go yomping through a few drifts, i'm goosed just walking to the village and back in all this.

I would need a pair of ice skates to venture out ,our paths and roads are sheets of thick ice.

 I love snow, but not that stuff. And that's what we've had, too.

ahh. we've got some of that where the cars have compressed it but we've got plenty of the white fluffy stuff still.

Pretty P where abouts do you live?

Not any here yet - thank God! I hate it when it goes all slushy and icy. Also I'm in walking distance of work which means I have to go in and do twice as much work cos of the people who can't get in!

Had a shower for about an hour then it stopped.Started up again half an hour ago and much heavier now.I'm on a bus route and the road is clear at the moment,but the grass and pavements have a nice covering.we had a tham today as well which means it hasnt snowed on ice llike it has for other people.I do love the snow for about two days til the novelty wears off of the ice and or slush.I should imagine those who've had it for three weeks or so are sick to death of it

Like a twit I've just been out driving in it. It's packed on the roads - nowhere has been gritted. I didn't like it

I'm acting like I'm snowed in so that I don't want to leave the house and therefore get more revision done. But tomorrow I will brace myself and slide down some roads to go to the gym as a little break.

well and truely covered here in Nottingham now and it's still coming down, i'm on a bus route *not a wide street* and the gritters haven't been tonight, probably get a bus in my garden tonight

my housemate just came in to tell me we have about 2-3 inches...is this true? I know what you mean about them not gritting yet, we are near the QMC so I'm sure the main road by us should be gritted for ambulance safety!

sure is trixy  i'm in Aspley and the roads are awful, don't know where the gritters are tonight, come to think of it i haven't seen a bus pass for ages

I am north Notts and we have 7inches of the stuff, the dogs go out for a couple of seconds dash back covered in the damn stuff and i then need to showere them to get the snow balls out of their coats its a such a laugh pfft not. I dont drive in it I hardly walk to the bin in it but I love to see the youngsters playing in it.
