I know there is nothing we can do about the weather we had the floods at Christmas now we have the snow. Everyone is busy chatting about their cars heating bills checking on friends and neighbours troubles seem to have been put on the back burner for a while. Before the snow I only ever heard about illness coughs colds, flu, novovirus, persistent coughs that were lasting for weeks on end. We live in a strange old world roll on spring at least the snowdrops have flowered in my garden.

    I love the snow and don't mind it in the slightest. Yes, it's a nuisance for getting about in but if you dress sensibly, wear sensible footwear and drive sensibly all will be well. I went up to rheumatology this morning an dit was amazing how many people were wearing their ordinary footwear or trainers, no wonder they were skidding all over the place. Me? I wore my wellies (good grip) and had my ice-spiked crutches to hand. I would have chucked a snowball at 'im indoors but he wasn't in the right mood.

    One good thing about this cold snap however; it may kill off all the bugs and germs that have been circulating, now that would be a good thing. You have your snowdrops already? We might but as they are covered with a chilly white blanket I can't see 'em ! DD

    I love snow and I love driving in it, I've been busy taking my nipper up to ridding in Ipsden heath, thing is snow is OK so long as you know how to deal with it, there's 3 ways to the Black Horse and two were impassable one single track 1 in 10 hill had a car bent up at the bottom with a landRover on it but the 3rd way was by also a single track road but the slope is shallow so isn't a problem, snow melting here now sadly but hey ho soon spring will be here and we will have the pot holes and floods to cheer us all up!.

    I'm another snow lover. It's still coming down, very fine, here and looks lovely. It transforms the utterly mundane into something breathtakingly beautiful. I know our daffs were starting to poke their noses through the earth but they can handle it.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    The snow here in Brighton was beautiful and quite deep as we're on top of the downs . It began to thaw and I was pleased it was going as I've been shut indoors ( wheelchair and snow ~ not a good mix ) , alas it wasn't to be , the snow returned late afternoon and is already about 6" deep again . So much for my trip down to the beach ! Jillyb

    We had heavy snow all last night, I stopped early this morning and then started again around 10am this morning very heavy! Had to warn OH at work! It caused all sorts of trouble for the neighbours getting stuck driving up & down the road! It seems to have stopped and has started sleeting now! I will be soooo pleased when it goes!! :(

    Wow Wendy!!!

    Does that mean you will be having your op somewhere near me???

    The chase looks amazing just at the moment, but why is it STILL snowing?? and why do they never mention us on the news? :(
