Forecast for 8" here tomorrow.................. I HATE snow

Hey, Errol - I've done it :-D :-D :-D

Thanks, Wend ;-)

hehe Wend - well done, I knew you could

And very fetching it is too!

Well I am supposed to be going to the Craft thing at the NEC, Birmingham tomorrow.....it's already snowing there now. :-S

It's been given out as bad across the Midlands Ann

:-( :-(

Why the unhappy face Island?

Message just come in. Its started coming down around Julia`s way. (Derbyshire Notts border)

Starting to worsen here too

Yes, I'll be travelling there from leicester (if I go) and there's bound to be hold ups on the roads I expect.........first thing tomorrow I'll be looking out the window to see how deep it is!! There was me thinking I would be able to leave my coat in the car so I didn't have to carry it as it's always boiling hot inside the NEC. :-S

Only just reached Nottingham City very fine, like dust at the moment.

That can sometimes be the worst, most deceptive

Wend you look a cuteypie with ya hat on :-) <3

Ive just walked dog and think it will take me all day to defrost, the wind is absolutley biting and I actually came in looking like a snowman, mind you my hat came in handy Errol lol :-D ;-)

Woke up to snow....live up a hill ...was going to Llandudno to an exhibition that I really wanted to go to that has lots of aids for the blind.....I have a friend who I am trying to help to make him more independent...and heard about a computer programme that will react to the voice and thought it would be demonstrated.
Decided not to chance it as its not only going...it's getting back.
So disappointed ..was looking forward to it.....weather grrrrr!!!!

Thanks Mersey, but I only borrowed it from John for a little while. I've given it back to him now. :-)

mmm, it is chilly, isn't it :-(

You still look a cuteypie Wend :-D

Think it looked a lot better on you, Wend :-D. Mersey looks a treat.

No snow yet in South Wales. Seems to be above a line from Aberystwyth to Hull, so huge commiserations if you live in mid and North Wales and Cheshire, Yorks etc.

Coldest day I can remember down here yesterday. Think it was the biting wind. It was the only day for over a year when I have had to wear my mittens to keep fingers unfrozen. Will be same today, with quite a bit more very cold rain
:-( :-(

Morning All, Yes we are well covered this morning. Dont' think there is a school open in the county, according to local radio. Next doors have gone to work but I will be suprised if they get through
Over the weekend, they have forecasted 20cm, further up the Peak District, and winds of 30/40 mph, even down here.
Oh well, will have to keep the radiator warm, and keep crocheting.

Annx, I saw that exhibition advertised on the telly he other night. My thoughts were that why does it not come further North, instead of stopping at Birmingham. Don't they know there is actual living,breathing humans living past Birmingham. I would have loved to have gone to that.

The OH has gone to do the 'Baccy' run, on foot, so I'll see how long it takes him. Blessed dog took one look outside, and came back in.

Take care everyone, and keep warm

Julia in Snowy Derbyshire

Mornin' each :-D

Errol me sad face was for the snow forecast.
I think Wend's been out all night with her sugar shaker cos we have a covering of it :-( Two more days of it forecast, heavy tomorrow :-( :-(

I wish we had a blessed dog, Julia :-D

Good morning everyone. Snow, snow and more snow! The road outside my house looks slushy (is that a word) but the paths look treacherous, and the sky looks full of it. have an appointment this morning, but I think I will rearrange, OH has to go to the Drs later so we will have to brave the snow.

Brenda from Wales, do you have a local branch of RNIB, they have some specially adapted computers, perhaps you could go and have a look there.

Annx I agree about the heat in the NEC, and it is always so packed it takes ages to get around, we always pay to hang our coats up it is worth it. Have a good day if you manage to get there.

Errol, can I put some extra wool on order, I am going to learn to knit, there is a fortune to be made from woolie jumpers.
