Its Snow Joke!

[stuckinsurrey]

We had a drop of snow in London last night, just though a few photos might do it justice....

Managed to get the car within a couple of miles of works and then walked the rest, in hindsight - stupid! The roads are gridlocked, only the Surrey 4x4 brigade getting through!

The first picture shows where I had just passed a farmer who was having a job locating his livestock.....cant understand why ;->

The second picture shows some careful parking

And the third just shows general prettiness!

Am thinking that if I had some gaffer tape in the car my cressi garas could have been the footwear of choice.

Have made it in, cleared a swathe of snow from around the office and am now heading back to my car that i carefully parked in a drift on the side of the road. I am now armed with a shovel though, so I'll be digging my way home.

Wish me luck as I am going outside and may be some time......

looks bad your way Jim, down here in sunny Dorset we only have a light coating -- good luck with your shovel

Yep, he's right! I've just brushed a light dusting off the palm tree, cracked open a can of lilt and am now tucking into a bounty - tropical!

We’ve not had a single flake up here, just goes to show that the sun always shines on the righteous.
Jim by the look of that you’ve been a very bad boy, hope you stocked up on pies to keep your strength up before you made the trip back to yer car.

Jim, how much are they paying you? Not enough to go out in a car in those conditions that's for sure. We have what is for us the extremely rare white stuff too. Lots more pic's over on the Guernsey thread.

Looks like I spoke to soon as it’s coming down here now, and I mean coming down. I can’t even see to the other side of the car park and that’s only 50 or so feet away.
Can’t wait to get home for the family Rogers snowball fight.

Grrrr...next to nothing out of the office window here...

A bit of a dusting here, but not much. Students I had to teach today got really excited as we don't often see snow.

I told them they can make snow by whisking up a bowl of water , or beating it with a fork and then putting it in the freezer.

If it comes out like a bowl of ice they didn't whisk it hard enough and they need to try again but beat it harder.

They should have some fun tonight ;>) !

Well I'm 29 (well old!!) and this is the first time I have seen this much snow in Guernsey. Last time it was this heavy I think was 1987 when I had to walk to school which was open with a whole 3 out of 15 in my class showed up, so over 20 years ago and I don't ever remember the schools being shut, but then I am young and I didn't pay attention to schools from when I left til when the nipper started, maybe the old man will know the last time this happened here??

I soooo didn't want to be at work today!!
