These are better than shoes and fit onto whtever you're wearing WinterTrax

Okay retraction in order - I went out this morning and got in at 11am and it was clear but have just looked out of the window and its a white-out - 2 or 3 inches lying at least.

Ta, yeah tis looking very 'Christmas card' today!

Love that one, if you dont mind I'm going to steal it for FB as my mate is always posting her jokes!

I'm really glad you had snow for your birthday but I also really hope it stays away from Newcastle for just a little bit longer. It's our works Christmas do in the middle of town tomorrow night and if it snows it'll be absolute carnage! Well I hope it stays ok for your 'doo' Cath. We had more snow overnight here!! I know its nothing like you guys get but its still lovely, I took these pics outside and up the road this morning as I went for a stroll, it had started to melt by then alittle but it was so lovely to walk on. I know I'm a big kid Hubbys Jag! I took this for our son....hes a postie Top of our road

I think it stems from ages ago when someone put a thread up about someone and Gem thought for a minute it meant that person had pegged it! So now if a thread title is a persons name, we put Yes or No to let him know whether they are dead or alive! So yes means they've croaked it and no means rumours of death are greatly exaggerated? Yes means YES theyve croaked and NO means that the thread is not about thats persons death at all

WE HAD SNOW ;)

Aw thats shame But just think how good New Year will be x

My idea of hell Its a good thing we are all different! It's only because your perfect ginger man would dissolve OOH boy he would certainly make my day perfect

My idea of hell Its a good thing we are all different!

Think we'd need a miracle for that! My perfect day would involve a long walk somewhere near water, a pub lunch and a spot of shopping thrown in too!

Love that film!

During this festive season don't forget to take time to mention those three special words to your loved ones. Im off out

A sunny Bday in PR.....that is a rare one. Cloudiest place in Canada apparently, but beautiful as well the north coast of BC is a must see and the ferry from Port Hardy to Rupert is one of the best ways to see it. As long as we're sharing perfect days, i'll put my two cents in. I had won a day of heli-skiing at Mike Weigle's and used it on my 27th birthday, at the time I only had my learners licence so my aussie roommate had to be my licenced accomplice for the day. We left at 3 am to drive the 3hrs north to Blue River BC, it had been snowing all night and was, to use a ski-bum term, 'puking' down snow the whole way there. Needless to say my excitement was at a fevered pitch by the time we arrived because there appeared to be well over 2 ft of snow on the side of the road (the official MW snow report said 93 cm to be exact). I got to the front desk and told them i was there for a day of skiing and they asked what sort of skier i was i replied 'expert' and the woman told me ther were no expert groups scheduled for the day and my face must have fell because she said that there was a private group from austria that had one available seat. after a quick phone call i was in on the austrian heli for the day. it could not have had a better day of skiing, i have never skied in that much snow before or after that day, when we got back to the resort at 8 pm my other roomies had planned a surprise party which was going full bore by the time we got there, and i proceeded to get drunk while answering the constant question from everyone "you went heliskiing on your birthday? have you everyhad a better day?......no, no i hadn't. glad to hear you had 'perfeck' day TR....hope you have many more like it in the future. Excellent...you sound a right action man tooner!

Thats a thread in its own right there Luke!

Cheers guys. First part of day was lovely but feeling quite poorly this evening, so fed up of it all

Thanks Cath, its been lovely so far. Next door neighbours cat has just ran in when the postie knocked...he (the cat) looks scared stiff, dont think he's seen much snow in his lifetime His ickle paws were so cold Hubby taking me shopping later, wooo hoooo!

Magical! And what an unusual place name, Prince Rupert! I was like you in a way but after being so poorly I seem to now be able to zone in to the actual moment and appreciate a good day whilst it actually happens!

I mentioned earlier, today was just perfeck cos its snowing on my Birthday and I felt well enough to go out walking in it. Made me think, what would be your perfect day ?

Thanks Jill, hope you are feeling better now

Hi Mac-Toon. Hey big thumbs up for coming down to watch the mighty Gulls!! So glad you watched us and not Exeter! Plainmoor is a dear ole place with such a special feel. I live up in The Lincombes near the Wellswood/Babbacombe area of Torquay....close to Meadfoot beach (the other 'unspoilt' seafront)! Your mate sounds like he lived either up this area, maybe Parkhill Rd or Daddyhole Rd or nearer the town overlooking the bay maybe Shedden hill way or St Lukes Rd. But to be honest Torquay is built on seven hills and most places have a view of the bay so could be anywhere. PM me his name if you like and I'll see what I can find out, my son is a postie in Dawlish, you never know ! Edit. Watcombe Heights road ring a bell? Peak Tor Ave? Warren Road? Beacon Hill? Marine Drive? thats private with a view of Meadfoot and Thatcher rock.

it doesn't snow on the English Riviera !!!!!!! It has today!! We live really near Meadfoot Beach and it was weird this morning walking down through the woods to see the rocks in the sea all snowy!
