I cant believe its snowing in the UK (now with photos)

Serriously it like never happens, the most we normally get is it snows in the night and lets the next day.

Theres enough snow to make a snow man!

I have pictures, but I'll only be able to upload them later, sorry.

But heres an article from the gaurdian

Ok so I finally got round to uploading my photos, here they are, enjoy.

look its snowing at york st john university

Yay for making snowmen.

It's one of my favourite things to do with snow.

Right after sliding down a hill at high speed on a small sled.

Gar0 on Feb 02 '09 at 8:24am

I took my boy sledging for the first time this morning, it was cool seeing everyone not even attempt to go to work, and just have the day off. It seems like a real holiday for some reason.

Tonteau on Feb 02 '09 at 8:24am

I'm afraid this weather has meant I "can't" get into work.

It's very frustrating.

Phiffer on Feb 02 '09 at 8:28am

Shine up those sleds and find a hill.

Gar0 on Feb 02 '09 at 8:28am

6am - Luca mean time. First time he's ever seen snow.

stubby43 on Feb 02 '09 at 8:35am

Aww thats awesome Gargo, phiffer, its more of a case of go out and buy a sled because no one has any.

trindli on Feb 02 '09 at 8:37am

i just saw some pictures of a friend that lives in London, it's pretty amazing :)

snow in a city is always nice for the first few hours, before it gets grey and ugly :D

Phiffer on Feb 02 '09 at 8:38am

phiffer, its more of a case of go out and buy a sled because no one has any.

was kinda thinking that. How available are they in the UK

stubby43 on Feb 02 '09 at 8:40am

I dont know I think we get them in at winter in hardware stores but its more out of tradition than actually being able to use them, the last time I used a sled in the UK I must of been 10.

I hit a dog, it bit me.

Sqiud on Feb 02 '09 at 8:50am

take a garden hose and ice up that sucker

then you could slide down on just about anything...car door, boogie board,

oh

just dont use a thin plastic sled on it unless you want to break your tailbone

juliejeremiah on Feb 02 '09 at 8:53am

it's a christmas miracle!!

Lonkiponk on Feb 02 '09 at 8:58am

If you cant buy a sled, just get a big garbage bag. Put an old pillow in it to sit on.

Fing a hill, sit down on your pillos, and whooooshshhhhh.

It works really well.

(also without pillow but I would not reccomend it.)

Batty1980 on Feb 02 '09 at 9:27am

No snow in Norfolk. Sigh.

Aww @ Garo's pic.

welshalex on Feb 02 '09 at 9:36am

Aww @ Garo's pic.

My office is pretty high up & you can see for miles & I cant stop watching the snow. I hope my little car can make it up the hills on the way home.

Steve The Great on Feb 02 '09 at 9:37am

hehhehheh, "sledging"

Sqiud on Feb 02 '09 at 9:39am

I'm jealous welshalex

phones on Feb 02 '09 at 9:43am

Tonteau on Feb 02 '09 at 10:19am

I got hit.

Sarcasticatbest on Feb 02 '09 at 11:07am

Snow! It is sad that snow is a rarity there. I should see if my friend got any, then it really would be just like home, but less.

phones on Feb 02 '09 at 3:15pm

sweet pic, tont

stubby43 on Feb 02 '09 at 5:03pm

bbc put out a sweet slide show of the snow

stubby43 on Feb 02 '09 at 5:05pm

Roostersauce on Feb 02 '09 at 5:07pm

God I hate the snow

squeegebeckenheim on Feb 02 '09 at 5:23pm

Yay! I'm glad you got snow! :)

I'm kind of over snow for this year and we're supposed to get more tonight/tomorrow. :/

angelito on Feb 02 '09 at 5:24pm

I FROLICKED!

6am - Luca mean time. First time he's ever seen snow.

The first time I saw snow was in England. :) Chester to be exact.

I believe I was around seven years old. And, I should dig out the photos of my sister and I having a snowball fight. They're hilarious.

angelito on Feb 02 '09 at 5:31pm

Frolicky bollocks!

Tonteau on Feb 02 '09 at 5:34pm

I had no sledge, but we found a piece for tarpaulin in the garage. Game on!!

staffell on Feb 02 '09 at 6:30pm

I don't think persons outside the uk realise just how uncommon snow like this is in south England. Snow in london really made me smile today. :)

staffell on Feb 02 '09 at 6:30pm

Persons?!

staffell on Feb 02 '09 at 6:31pm

Persons?!

staffell on Feb 02 '09 at 6:31pm

Fucking iPhone

stubby43 on Feb 04 '09 at 10:50am

Persons kind of works, if your you know lax on grammar.

We dont really get snow in the north of england either, especially not in cheshire but that might be because cheshire is close to the coast.

Also i've updated the blog with photos.

noodlezoop on Feb 04 '09 at 11:00am

I like this blog.

We had flurries again this morning. Gone now, but nice to see them.

tracerbullet on Feb 04 '09 at 11:01am

i woke up to about 5 inches of snow on the ground. schools are closed, but work isn't. boo.

stubby43 on Feb 04 '09 at 11:03am

We probably only had two inches, it shut down the country.

Krimson on Feb 04 '09 at 11:03am

Bah, thats not snow, come to michigan. It's not snow until trees fall over under the weight.

Although, congratulations on your frozen precipitation.

stubby43 on Feb 04 '09 at 2:33pm

Oh I know its not alot of snow compared to other places, I've lived in canada on and off for 8 months and even then that was only at the start of winter.

but for the UK its alot, if we have enough to play in were very happy the sad thing is I bet it'll be another 10 years before we see snow like it again.

SnakeMan on Feb 04 '09 at 2:35pm

GLOBAL WARMING

B 7 on Feb 04 '09 at 2:38pm

It is a lot for the Uk. I love it! more on the way tonight too! My friends mum threw a snow ball at her cat. That was funny

gumbolimbo on Feb 04 '09 at 2:39pm

make the most of it, guys!

B 7 on Feb 04 '09 at 2:40pm

hahahahahaha! that is amazing

stubby43 on Feb 04 '09 at 2:41pm

! awesome, for both throwing a snowball at a cat, snow cat sculpture and the possibility of more snow.

Phiffer on Feb 04 '09 at 2:55pm

did you build that gumbo?

phones on Feb 04 '09 at 3:04pm

0_0

gumbolimbo on Feb 04 '09 at 3:11pm

No, I wish! Not enough snow here.

I saw that on http://www.monster-munch.com/ and couldn't resist to post.

staffell on Feb 06 '09 at 9:20am

This is what it was like in London:

Basically unheard of.

WarDrobeInSpareOom on Feb 06 '09 at 9:33am

I think UK winters are similar to Chattanooga winters. Lots of rain, and only enough snow to dust the ground and melt before morning. On the rare occasions we got any, we would sled on plastic garbage lids.
