In Bristol! It's snowing! It's snowing!

It's SNOOOOWWIIINNNNNG!!!!!!!!!!

It snowed on my car this morning for about 30 seconds with miniscule snow...I grinned all the way into work I love snow.

I'm going home to Lpool the weekend before x-mas and I always seems to get snowed in when I go up there

*puts on gloves and marigolds over the top and tries to build a snowman out of non existant snow*

It's snowing and it's dry and it's not stopping!!!!!!!


SNOW!!!!!!!!!

It's snowing in Bristol

Crosses fingers and hopes the clouds head towards Newport.

It's cold enought o snow here in Birmingham... we had a` decent frost last night... oh, come on snow!!!

I've just thought ...snowing isn't uncommon, the important questions is: Is it sticking????

unfair!!!!!!! I want snow, so I can build a snowman can't you send the snow over this way? otherwise I'll have to come over there to build a snowman!!

Please let is cross the river and stick.

It's getting less

But yes, it is sticking...

I think we'll have a blanket of it in the morning!

*blows it to Newport*

Blah, its stopped. It hardly ever settles properly in Bristol anyway, something about the hot air from the gulf stream being channeled towards it by Exmoor and the Brecon Beacons apparently...

It tried to snow here at about 3:30pm, just a couple of small flakes though (they must have blown over from Bristol-the wind is strong enough, but not the right direction).

We do get snow every once in a while though...but it barely makes an inch.

Although a few years ago, I do remember playing in the streets when they were all iced over...at midnight, skidding around...fantastic...

That was mad,I remember that, frozen rain, its called. 1cm of ice over everything, made walking to town down the Wells road interesting...

Think it must have been '99 when that happened...there is a wicked hill near where I live like a 45 degree slope...safe to say, I managed to get to the top and slide all the way down in my oversized Doc's...

*flinches at the memory of falling over*

It almost never ever snows in Brighton. Come to think of it, there is rarely any frost either. I suppose it must be some micro-climate type of affair due to the town being trapped between the sea and the South Downs, cold air never makes it this far.

Bristol tends to get the best and the wort of the weather...I'm sure of that...

*sighs* It's much too cold over here for snow... - 7 C here in in Frankfurt, and that's one of the cosiest places in Germany since 3 days...

It did make an effort to snow last night, but it hasn't settled. I think it's raining here now.

We've got that frozen rain in Brussels this morning. I managed 100m on my bike before nearly coming off in front of a car and giving up and walking.

There's cars with dents in all over the place, including 6 in a big heap at the top of the hill near my house!
