Not if we don't tell our friends and neighbours..... yet!! Lets get our supplies in first then let them all know

Andy - hopefully a long winter as you said - the peppering we had before Christmas I picked up a foot injury due to having to walk an hour in the snow to get my missus one morning - I now have new boots - so I want to try them out! (I sound like a 10 year old there - I'm not - I've been a member on here since 2003 - so thats 14 years and I've been on the planet 37 years before that!)

Snow events are rare - but do happen. Eyes down....

JK

[andymusic]

so just looked outside - already flippin white here - major frosty night - prelude of scenes to come with deep snow via the models I think

sorry to hear that - only downside - the snow is fab, but when it refreezes into ice - it can be treacherous - and right now 16 hours on a trolley in a&e is not where ya wanna be  - so even though this weather looks nice - be careful out there on the roads and footpaths cause it can catch the best of us un-awares, even me last year went down like a sack of potatoes, giraffe spreading it's legs then after just going out to the car to check it over, didn't see the ice and down I went onto my knees, nasty and it flippin well hurt, as you get older, you got to be more careful about these things - you don't bounce as much then lol

Ha ha - it's fine - I got a blister on my heel that didn't take kindly to me and I could only wear crocs to work for 3 weeks while the antibiotics worked on it and it healed up! More snow for me the better - l still retain my childhood enthusiasm if not more. I like the older you get the less you bounce - I concur!!

 

Hope you got good boots now Andy after that episode last year if not give me a shout and I'll point you in the right direction

spelling :)

[Missdolly]

Yes safety is paramount and unfortunately in this day and age snow grounds everything to an hault ! 

Anyway I'm going to get the long life milk in just in case , sit back and browse the 'mad' thread ?!

I don't think so, you just see how this set up is a lot different from the norm

[freeze for all]

Elevation will b key again with this spell coming up, will probably c snow showers down to low levels but that will b as good as it gets. The usual suspects may get another good dumping like last month tho

[RainStarr]

I think I will get some supplies in just in case we are lucky!!  Still the weather people are not forecasting it on the TV!

[Jayne aka Pembsgal]

Hi again all - not looked here for AGES.  I tend to pop back on when there's a bit of snow in the charts and am PRAYING we get some next week.  Based in Kilgetty so if it gets as far as Narberth we might be lucky

[Jayne aka Pembsgal]

No frost here this morning when I left for work at 8am the van was reporting it was 5C.  Same time yesterday I almost had my hands drop off defrosting the windscreen!
