Snow

Have not had anything like this in Cardiff for many years. Don't think I will be venturing out today. :epopc:

Quite rare in Suffolk and (having grown up in Hertfordshire in the 60's - memories of being carried through drifts in '63 I think it was or perhaps earlier) have quite missed a decent snow fall. Apparently a snow plough got stuck near by, could only happen in England, only about four inches of snow!

I took the dog out this morning, wind blowing snow across the fields, absolutely beautiful and no one else about. My nine year old staffie really enjoyed it, behaving like a puppy - running like mad and doing barrel rolls at high speed in to small drifts (the dog that is :grin: :animals-dogrun: ).

Looking forward to a few more days of it, I just dislike the dirty slush when it all melts.

Rarely get it in Cardiff, although it is often visible on the near by hill tops. I have vague memories of 1963. This will be my gran daughter's first experience.

I remember the snow of 63 seemed to last forever. Massive drifts, I was living in Wolverhampton then.
Here it is windy which is causing deep drifts.
My neighbours return from South Africa this afternoon....are they in for a shock!
Doubt if they will be able to get up the hill to our lane though. We only just managed it yesterday and it's got a lot worse since then.

Crikey - just seen the weather forecasts for Wales/West Country. Seems like what we have in Suffolk is just a light dusting in comparison to what is due when the two weather systems converge tomorrow.

Keep safe chaps.

Still looks like that. :grin:

The Dutch are skating mad - as soon as it freezes they're out on the ice.
