Meenzer 15116 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 This is the sheer chaos as viewed from my window just now: .....uh-huh. Some friends are arriving into Gatwick tonight; what odds the place being crippled anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 41321 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 My 2 yr old has just looked out the window and started squeaking with excitement. Nice way to start the Christmas break. We shall be attempting to make a snow- midget in the garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonraider 0 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 We actually had a tiny flurry of Snow here yesterday on my Birthday!!! I want more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Its been snowing for the last couple of days here. For those who complain about Britain 'grinding to a halt' when we get a smattering of snow, you'll be pleased to hear that Paris was at a standstill yesterday. My mate spent 5 hours in the car, 3 trying to get to work and 2 giving up and going home. Trains cancelled, metros on random service, gridlock on the roads. We had about 2 inches if that.

How can someone travel 3 hours from home, turn around and drive 2 hours and be at home again? Does your mate drive a delorean by any chance?

catmag 336 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I really ought to be wrapping pressies but instead I'm sat on my arse watching Nigella's Christmas Kitchen and feeling snuggly and warm as it snows outside. Lush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your mate drive a delorean by any chance? I don't think you've thought that through Watford's full of fucking puffs as I'd expected (no offence Martin ) some of them are justifying not getting in their cars to drive 3 miles to the office on the grounds that it must be bad because GMTV used Watford as it's 'outside snow broadcast' this morning.....

A friend of mine on Facebook posted something about how we should respect her husband and his colleagues for working all night to keep Stansted open. Just after posting about how she's staying home from work all day because she can't walk on snowy pavements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyff 0 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Had a lot of it fall last night and into this morning. Started my journey into work, but a 5 minute drive to the next village took me 20 minutes so I rang in and said I wouldn't be able to make it. Turns out the Police were turning people back just down the road anyway. Drove nice and slowly home, but did slide and end up sideways in the road which would have been much worse had I been going any faster. The dog seems to like it, mind!
