The kids couldn't remember snow from the time before we moved to Turkey and certainly didn't build many snowmen during their 5 years in Calis. It was not long after we moved back to the UK that they first experienced going to bed with everything 'normal' and waking up to find everything covered in white stuff. A wonderful and I guess rare thing for such a first to happen to 8 year olds.
Having snow arrive just before Christmas, and in such huge volumes was fantastic as it didn't stick around last year. We had great fun throwing snowballs, watching the icicles get longer, building a snowman, walking on the frozen lake, slushing back through the snowy lanes in the dark, counting the Christmas trees in living room windows. Totally magical. If there was one more thing I could wish for,
CAN YOU TAKE IT AWAY NOW, I'VE HAD ENOUGH
:D

:D I feel exactly the same, and thats only after 1 day,

Absolutely, you may know my feelings on the matter from "taht other place":(.
Bus into work this morning while still dark. Not a prayer of moving the car and if I had been able to, it would have only been on to a surface akin to the cresta run:(

Get a hot water bottle on your buckle H!
They just said on the news it's bad in the central belt area :D

Keith just so you can see we are with you in spirit ;) battling the snow and freezing temps,I took this in our garden this morning in Gunlukbasi (ps was 19 degrees and hazy sunshine)

Scunner : can't you ban karaokemark for that one ?

Mark can you take another photo, say, another 50-80ft high swing to the right and look down and take a photo of my house :D
I am sat in the lounge looking out to the neighbours garden, a Palm tree covered in snow! I have a cold and feeling a bit hazy this image is not helping me any.
I still love the snow, inside warm and snug sipping lemsip:(

My five year old grandson has not seen much snow and he thought it was great.
He feels the same as you and would like to go back to "normal winter"
-
He's right!
Yet still I see the reports on Sky News, and even the photos Rimms posted yesterday and I think it all looks wonderful. That's me I guess, a hopeless romantic :D
-
No, that is yoiu looking at it from a cosy house.
If you are still going soft about snow time to go up Craigie hill sledging.
Don't ask me where because I am NOT daft: :)

Today was our first day of snow in South East Wales since last February. It looks fab and gave me a great opportunity to use my new camera I had for Christmas. :)
My Tesco home delivery arrived on time (early, in fact) yesterday afternoon so the cupboards are full of food (and wine :-\ ).
I was praying for snow late last night, and it came overnight. Brill - all local schools closed as a lot of our teachers travel from the Valleys and Cardiff. Another day off tomorrow for the same reason. A couple of unexpected days off work are just sooo nice, and the kids have had great fun all day. :P
BUT, I feel so sorry for all you people up North and in Scotland. One day of it and I've had enough! The extra days off work are one thing - being pinned in the house as its too icy to step outside is another! :( Even the kids say they are going to stay in tomorrow, as it's "too cold" out there. [|)]
Mark, please can we have a picture of our house in Gunlukbasi too? It's awful thinking of our little home in Turkey all lonely in the sunshine, and us stuck at home in the cold UK! :o:([8)]
Even colder for you lot up there tonight, -20deg, according to the news a few moments ago, brrrrrrr. :( Only -10 for us. :)

Joking aside.
I have pinched this from a colleague who has written to a local paper who has asked that you all look out for the vulnerable people who aren't able to get to shops.
-
Pinched what?

The idea. I would hate you to think I was going soft ;).
She was telling us she saw a lady struggling to get out of her gate. She took her back indoors and went and got Bread and milk for her. She then wrote to Local paper and asked folk to watch out for the vulnerable. I was just expanding on that and spreading HER word :)
-
Ah I get it :D
I'm doing my bit, there's an old couple across the road from us and I'm keeping an eye out for them. I don't think they'll be needing anything for a while, there's at least 9 pints of milk on their doorstep.

I blame it on global warming.[:o)]
