I've heard that roads used to be blocked here in the 60's. Not fair dammit!

A mate at work today was telling me in the late fifties that some places in Lincolnshire were seven foot under snow!!!!

Who do we complain to about the lack of snow?

We had 18" of snow and ice over Christmas. Got snowed in and couldn't head over to my parents until that Saturday.

I know 18" doesn't sound like much but when its all ice and you have nothing but hills its a bit treacherous. Still took me an hour to shovel off the car on Saturday before we could leave. We haven't had that much in several years.

Was pretty though. I like the snow.

Hope everyone had great holidays!

Snow is very cool, especialy if you are in the woods and everything is white.

Another reason is the noise level drops dramaticly.

I think you get in touch with 'snowmen'.
