I personally love snow but my dad is always goin on about how he can't get the horses out due to frozen ground. It's been snowing on and off in N.I. Bit here and a bit there then you get about 2inches of snow in 10mins less. |

Stupid snow, I wish it would go away now..
Complete sympathies with you. I'm in a village between chesterfield and alfreton and have seen no hint of a snow plow. the farmer has had to help clear one entry road but the main road through the village is still mad. Buses won't go through because they keep getting stuck at the bottom of the hill. The local shops have become more like social centres.
On a positive note though, I have never seen so many people walking through the village and chatting to each other. A little bit of the community is coming back, I wish that part of the effects of snow would stay |

Not much snow here in bucks, its snowing on n off n settling but nothing to cause any major distruption just a few ppl that think its safe to still break the speed limit n ditch their cars, such is life tho, ppl never learn.
I hate the snow now tho! i was meant to be at AnnSummers Gala yday to pick up my awards in essex but it was cancelled cos of the weather being bad there n 700 girls dressed in mile high outfits getting stranded in essex wasnt the plan... but tbh its essex.. it would not have looked out of place..
*waits to be shouted at by essex ppl* HAHA |

The stuff is made worse by the idiots who think it is fun to throw snowballs at every moving vehicle (as if drivers don't have enough to worry about), terrorise people in their homes, slide parked cars around so they are in the middle of the road and make huge ice ball boulders to leave in the road.
Ok rant over. I just really wish it would all go away
So.....you don't like the snow then? 
Actually usually I do like snow just not this much and not now lol |

Make a snow ball yourself, although make it around a rock and throw at idiots to knock idiots out.
I've been hurling my cats outside, the last one I threw landed and the snow came upto his chin XD brilliant sport. |

Well we had constant snow and no heating, so the whole of sixth form had a giant snow ball fight in the sixth form garden then froze our bums off in the common room! :P It was quite fun!!! But then we sat in lessons wanting to cry cause it was so flipping well cold!! But ahh well, it was fun. Now I just need 2 days off!! xD

ha ha, so ironic that health and safety tries to spoil the fun, and then turns out to be sensible! LOL! Hate it when kids throw snowballs at cars - have had ones with stones in hit my cars in past :( |
