Anglefire Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I’ve been at a site today and they have been discussing the snow and what they are going to do. The forecast is for about 10mm of snow on Thursday. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AidanT Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 No snow or rain here just below Newark. Not even as cold as was forecast. Nice and sunny here at the moment! Much better than dull and wet, that gets into your bones! Aidan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Light sprinkling here, more hard frost than snow. I've to leave home in an hour so it should be warmer by then. I'm about six or seven miles from Katesbridge which over the last few years had gone to -15 degrees, but we've never hit that low and don't want to either.

Plus, as we lived on a steep hill me, my brother and sister would look out of the front room window and "bet" to whether cars would make it or not. Of course being on a hill meant the slids were GREAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougbgt6 Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Finally! I 've got snow, I was feeling left out. Woken at 7am by a BMW, engine roaring, wheels spinning, he got half way up the road then slide all the way down again. HA! So that's it, I'm snowed in, it must be 2" deep, I'm down to my last 12 litres of Peroni. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I had to laugh at the paper headline this morning: "Chance of Death." Schools are closed, roads are 'carnage'... imagine! A few broken down vehicles is not 'carnage' in my book. My relatives are in Michigan under eight feet of snow, and are presumably coping well, warm and dealing with their idea of a light snowfall. The kids are all still going to school, too.
