Weather report... boring. And the Perfect Man!!

[curiouswombat]

The great snowstorms sweeping across the British Isles have swept across the bottom half of the small island - blown by steady 35mph winds. It began to snow at 9am. It snowed almost constantly until 5pm - and not a single flake has stuck below about 1,000ft. I am really quite disappointed as I am a bit of a big kid when it snows - at least for

Currently no snow here, and the temperatures have eased up a bit as well, so my sympathy to those less lucky.

We get snow rarely enough that my particular group of Community Nurses were actually quite enjoying making contingency plans - we were quite disappointed that we didn't need them!

There is loads of snow where I live. I could email some to you :D

I went outside to clear up after the dog and the snow was just past my ankles. She wanted to stay outside and play, ignoring the fact that I was wearing my pyjamas lol.

I hope you had your wellies on! I remember going out into the snow in 'jamas and wellies when I lived up your way.

Perhaps if you could e-mail us 4 or 5 inches... that would be quite nice!

LOL!! I love Mr Perfect's reaction to the news!! Stay warm!

[curiouswombat]

I don't think it has completely gone to his head!

I've got the fire on, as well as the heating, and a nice warm jumper. Maybe a nice glass of mulled cider, do you think? Just to add the final winter touch.

Snow is lovely, even when it doesn't stick. Now that we are lower down the mountain we don't get it much anymore, and i miss it.

"Mr. Perfect' seems like a nice,, modest sort of chap. Interesting the income specified by those women. If you meet the right man money isn't usually an issue, within reason anyway.

I like a few days of snow, too, it makes life a bit different, and it's pretty for the first few days.

And yes - apparently the perfect man should be a good earner or they don't want to know him!

Knee deep! It's barely sledable - yet it was still lethal driving home.

Our local small garden centre had a big sign outside yesterday 'Snow Shovels and Sledges in stock!". It was a good move as lots of people probably bought them ready for the snow we were meant to get today... but didn't. Whereas today probably almost no-one would have bought them.

A couple of our nurses spent the whole day worrying in case the snow stuck as they live a few miles south of Douglas and there are two big hills that ALWAYS get blocked with skidding cars as soon as there is more than a one flake thick layer on the road. Sometimes they are cars that were driven by people so worried about the snow that they simply went so very slow that they stalled...

I was almost stuck a couple of years ago on a hill in Douglas by someone doing that - and the slight layer of snow is no problem on the slope as long as you can keep moving!

Fortunately, my trip home is very short and mostly downhill, even down the 1:9 bit. Though I had to abandon my car there in 2003 as a bus was struggling to get up it and I didn't fancy being knocked over the of the drop into the park.

Yes - I think that was probably an eminently sensible idea...
