Holiday Snowday tomorrow?

[rynnor]

Weathermans a bit vague but it could be a snowday for a number of us - snow on a Monday morning is pretty bad though - poor commuters!

fuq, i hate it when it snows/icy and I have to go to college, I mean, it's like a 5 minute walk, but, on the way, I have to walk over a bridge which is like a fecking wind tunnel, and the bridge gets stupidly icy, I swear, you could get some iceskates on that bridge and a kite, and you'll probably break the land-speed record.

It's been snowing here on and off for the past two weeks.

Is this the british kind of "snow" where two flakes hit the ground and it's a national emergency?

Yep. Although I doubt we'll get any of the stuff in London

As much as I love seeing it come down thickly, and settle, once that fairy story moment has passed, I hate it. Or to be more precise, I hate the icy slushy shit that stays on the backroads for days and days

 

[Amphrax]

You seriously have no idea we have never really been able to cope with snow it causes so much agro its untrue... I for 1 hate driving in the snow/icy. I would rather walk than drive

 

[old.Tohtori]

Heh yeah, heard of that every now and then. Should grab the "so called camera" and grab a few shots of our snow at the moment. Would probably cripple the whole nation there.

 

[Raven]

A good 2-3 foot please, so I can't get out the village.

 

[Raven]

Yeah but Toht, we don't drive around with snow chains or have that many snow ploughs, or grit the roads properly really. Not worth it for the 1 week in the year that we get snow.

We also don't have a insanely high suicide rate due to depressing seasons.

no, that would be holland. snow, or actually any change in the weather at all causes the public infrastructure to collapse :-/

We don't use chains either, we use anti-skid tires. The suicide rate is a bit, meh, it's not really about the seasons. I'd say lliving in a gray rainy part of the world would cause more depression.

Even still, it is rather funny how chaotic it gets.

 

[Moriath]

Hope not I am flying to Amsterdam tomorrow's.

This is the reason why schools come to a stand still (atleast in my experience) - Teachers all seem to live in the country, and can't get into work - not a matter of kids not being able to get in - more of a matter of lack of teachers.

Bring it on, except liverpool is the un-snowiest place in britain, you can be up to the top of the lamposts in yorkshire and we get 1 cm on the highest point, surrounded by mountains and sea.
But last year was wondrous, 2 weeks of foot deep snow, driving my pick up truck down the back lanes while the morons tried to get to work in nissan micras on the main roads.

 

[Wij]

Might be some tomorrow morning in Yorkshire but none so far. Fear of snow may explain why I'm the only person in the office though.

 

[caLLous]

My weather for next Friday. Brrrr.

 

[soze]

I think i remember reading last year when it was really bad my local council sold off a load of ploughs and equipment after a few mild winters as they were spending a fortune on maintenance for no reason. Then when the bad weather hit they were totally unprepared. That is the British way

 

[TdC]

there's about 1/8th of an inch on my terrace here :/

 

[caLLous]

It's the right way though.

We had a morning of pretty heavy snow yesterday, mostly cleared now but still that nice crisp icy stuff dotted around. It's going to snow on Thursday before that super cold day I posted above.

 

[Gray]

Really hoping for snow, everyone else i speak to eems to actually hate it around this way. Last time i was chuffed to bits though, it came down thick and fast, and then a few hours later that was it. Less than half a day of snow so far :'(.

 

[soze]

I hate snow it makes my journey to work a pain in the arse. And my company insist on me trying to get in rather than letting me work from home, so while I am working I do not want snow.

 

[rynnor]

Really? Dont they even add 'where it's safe to do so' ?

If theres a general warning for 'essential travel only' or you live on top of a nasty hill and injure yourself on your journey to work at their insistence then they could well be liable.

Nope on the year it was really bad I refused to drive due to 3 accidents viable from my front door. So I went to the train station and no trains were running. I called work and they told me to wait at the station until there was a train. I did not do that i went home and watched TV while checking for the updates on the web. Then at 16.30 I got a train to work sat there for 25 minutes and left

 

[caLLous]

Moscow on Wednesday, fuck that. :\

 

[old.Tohtori]

That's the usual finnish winter too, now it's kind of mild at -10(around'ish).

Plenty of snow though.

 

[Fweddy]

I love snow. No amount of inconvenience trumps having snow to play in.

Well put it away or you might damage your chance of having kids. At least put a little wooly hat on it....

It would actually be warmer to sit in a chest freezer. No wonder Russians are such miserable bastards.
