No snow up to now in my neck of the woods(Doncaster)but bitter cold.Been up 3 hours and only had 2 fags lol,too cold to smoke outside.Looks like a day in with the heating on full blast.
Anyone woke up to snow where you live?

Took the kids back home to the ex-wifes and passing through the University area of Hull, the student digs, there was dozens of people, most of an oriental background possibly here from countries a lot warmer taking photo's of the 2mm of snow we got yesterday evening.

Woke up this morning and that 2mm is now about an inch here. Been along time since I've seen this much snow but this is bugger all to what we used to have prior 1985. This is just a dusting.

Back when I was a lad here in Hull, the out lying villages were sometimes cut off. Snowfall was measured in 'feet' back then rather than inches. Proper blizzards where even going to school, just less than half a mile away was a massive adventure. Sometimes, not even being able to go due to the conditions.

It is hard to explain to those members here who are under 25. People like me, Dad and Ady, although not all that much older than 25 LOL, but we used to have snow that fell in 1 single day, a couple of feet, snow drifts half way up the back door, and it would take up to a fortnight to melt. Maybe it's global warming that saves us from these types of snowfall. But to be honest, if you're under 25, you haven't even come close to what we had when I was a kid.

I fall in this category and can remember snow that hung around for weeks.My dad digging the paths clear and not a car moving off our cul-de-sac for days.Used to go sledging on a steep hill at the bottom of my mum and dads street.Them were the days.

Aye Zoltar, I can remember when I was a kid living in Aberdeen snow being piled up at the side of the road about 6 feet tall when the snow ploughs had done their job. Also making my way to school with the snow being deeper than the tops of my wellies. I can also remember opening our front door and seeing a solid wall of snow and then having to dig our way out.

You just don't see that type of weather any more thankfully. I bloody hate snow!!
