nixy Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 So, will we get the mega snow that's forecast or will GMTV have a roving reporter out first thing looking for some? If there's any near me I'm stopping at home! Quote
martinmac Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Looking at the forecast maps I think they have got this right. I do get a little sick of reports that they may close the M6 near Carlisle and the M62 though, they have had enough warning. Quote

jim Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Just seen the forecast - I'm working from home tomorrow! Quote
Beavis Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Hoping for a big dollop of the stuff, but i bet when i get up at 6am we have had a powder coating. Oh well country will still come to a standstill as Joe Public throws his hands up in the air and says i cant cope. Quote
Chris`I Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Snow I can handle, its when it snows, partially melts and then freezes again that does me in Bring on some drifting if its just snow EDIT: Looks like no snow here tomorrow, dont know if thats good or bad Quote
martinmac Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Reminds me of Donny this year with Rob. First day it poured down so got up the next morning and the sky was blue, not a cloud in sight. The were kitchens below me at the travel lodge so didnt look down. Got down to the car and it was buried in snow. Quote
Stew Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 As it does every time. I remember as a kid I used to trundle off to school in knee height snow, dad had gone to work long before and then after school they would still be showing London on the news with a few flakes on the ground and the city in a stand still. Never understood it. Still don't. I lived in Siberia and spent a lot of time in Moscow, that city never stopped due to weather and it's a damned site bigger than london! Quote
SwissZ Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 We had about 20cms of snow here 2 sundays ago quite late (snowball fight with the neighbours at 11pm!! ). Monday morning, I'm thinking home office Swiss road cleaner guys had completely cleared the roads!!! Guess they've had plenty of practice here though... Quote
Adriank Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Not going to snow down here so it says, so off to work with me in the morning like normal :-) Quote

Dont want to burst your bubble but the PS3 wont come at the same time.... My phone came the next day but the console took 31 days I think.. Its sent after the coolong off period! Quote
ZeddZ Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 From Sky News Meanwhile, some parts of the country have come to a standstill, as snow showers continue to hit. The poor weather led to the closure of about 200 schools in north-west England on Tuesday with around 2.5cm falling on the region. That's just over an inch of snow. Quote

Even up here the schools close for snow. They only used to close if the heating broke. Ok, that's 10 years ago but in those 10 years have kids softened up and become total pansies? Quote

What always baffles me is why is it that everytime it snows the schools boiler packs up? Probably just a lame excuse so they dont have to open. Quote

Mine came with the phone in a big box 2 days after ordering it Quote
Stew Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Nothing really here. I like driving home in the snow and passing all the stuck people! Quote
Beavis Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Nothing here just rain Over hyped once again Quote
AK350Z Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Aww, just wet and sleety this morning. Cheated again! Quote
