Snow Joke!

[acwman]

The other half has just picked up my daughter from school, as the school has decided to close because of a sudden downfall of snow..

Heres a picture of it from my window!

Can't say I blame them that is pretty severe compared to what is coming down elsewhere ;)

I think you'll find it's this snowflake here that they're really worried about.

Drove to the office this morning through a blizzard but got there in double-quick time because there was so little traffic on the road.

Did some work till about 11ish watching out the window as the snow was [SIZE="1"]p[/SIZE][SIZE="2"]i[/SIZE][SIZE="3"]l[/SIZE][SIZE="4"]l[/SIZE][SIZE="5"]i[/SIZE][SIZE="6"]n[/SIZE][SIZE="7"]g[/SIZE] up thick and fast, and the powers that be told us all to go home.

So yes, I am at home, and I am bored. :)

Clear, sunny day here with no snow on the ground.
I'm hoping it stays like this to get some flying in tomorrow!! :D

Cheers,

It was chaos in Poole this afternoon,there was a bit of snow but the way people were flocking home and panicking you would think the world was about to end.

Best reason i heard was from a security guard at Barclays House which has 1000 plus employees,they had an EMERGENCY health and safety meeting at lunchtime and decided to send staff home early because the usual clock off time clashes with the local High School exodus and there was a risk of the kids snowballing the staff,this is not a joke it was the real reason..Pathetic.

My kids didn't go to school, nor i to work, but then you couldn't get out the village, i live in a bit of a rural back water and they as many other didn't grit any of the roads, even some 4x4's were having trouble up the hills and a lorry got stuck on a hill the other side of the village, just outside flyer1 house.
By lunch time the snow had turned to slush on the road and i could make it out, only prob is now that is freezing so will become black ice, and again we won't be gritted i expect

Hi ChrisB

I was Parkstone this morning, and it was lucky I finished by about 12.30, as the snow over there was coming down in bucket loads. Took me about 40 minutes to get from one end of the high street to the other. I think in bottle necked because of cars getting stuck up at alder road..

As I got back towards home, was just so surprised of the difference..in that there was no snow that settled.. yet the kids were sent home:)

The police have closed off our village, because of the roads are now just sheet ice and the council hasn't got enough grit to treat it, so no one can get in or out at the moment:(

Hi Andy

Alder road is always fun in the snow.Poole was pretty hard hit but it was just an hour or so then it turned to rain,by 3pm the roads were almost deserted.

[squadi]

no snow here at all

Tell me about it. I was walking the dog and there wasn't another soul out.
Looked very pretty though like something out of a sci-fi nuclear holocaust film.:)
