Bring Back the Snow!

It is so dull an miserable today, just like yesterday it's hardly getting light at all!  Bring back the snow!  We have no snow left now, just patches of ice where snow used to be and my dog is now all upset!

I agree Kat, at least it was light with the white stuff everywhere.

Bah Humbug I cry.

Thank goodness the snow has gone.

This country can't cope with a mere 4 -6 inches, gridlock on all of our roads, airports cancelling flights, the mail crisis etc etc

It has cost the economy billions of pounds, and numerous fatalities.

The wildlife mortality was reaching crisis levels, come on!!!! more snow no thanks.

I agree it looks nice when it's white, other than that good riddance.

I feel the same Buzzard {thumbs up}

I am pleased that the snow is gone.  There is some more snow due tomorrow according to the weather 2-5cm of snow coming across the country from Taunton direction to the Central England.

I really hope that the snow has died out by the time it reaches Bedford.

Yeah it's good the snow has gone, but there is more on it's way :-(

Yes, I was glad to see the back of it. Enough was enough.

Unfortunately,in central southern England we're right in the path of the next lot.

I just need some decent daylight, I have taken to sitting with my gecko's under their U.V light. I think I have Seasonal Affected Disorder. I'm so miserable at the moment, I go to work in the dark & come home in the dark, spend break duty in the dark as it still isn't properly light at 10.30 & 12.30 in the daytime.

Please, the wildlife probably thinks we're all a bunch of wusses cowering inside our central-heated houses in fear of the "cold white stuff" rather than getting on with things as normal!  I dread to think what Brits do when they go on these skiing holidays, probably hang their heads in shame that there are places in the world that get more snow that we do and still get on with life as normal!

And in the summer it will be a massive heatwave causing massive disruption, and in spring and autumn too much rain.  The weather can't win lol 

I think my dog is suffering from snow-withdrawl symptoms hehe

Hi Kat

Exactly we are a bit OTT when it comes to snow and dealing with the white stuff.

The weather is here, there and everywhere compared to what it was in the 70's.

The seasons where seasons and summers .... summers

A friend of mine who lives in Aberdeen sent me this snowy picture from a scene in 1908

Now that is what I call snow!!!

Oh my GOSH! Blackbird, that is a fantastic pic!!

May be worth a fortune in years to come.

I was sick of the sight of it, really, it was making me feel ill - I'm Cornish, we're not cut out for such cold temperatures! I rejoiced when the last little bits of snow had melted. Can't stand the stuff.

Kathy and Dave - Great photo I think that guy needs a bigger shovel!  But hey, look at the side there are people going about their business as usual life hasn't ground to a halt even with a mountain of snow to cross to get from one side to another!

I bet those people would be disgusted at us if they saw the way things grind to a standstill today!

I love it.  Looks stunning,  its healthy. Yes the country comes to a standstill, -  thats a disgrace.. The rest of Europe carries on, with feet of it.  Yes ,I know, they get it year a fter year and have the infrastructure to cope with it all.. Yes wildlife suffers,  but then it did  years ago when we had REAL winters.

Personally I hope it comes back tomorrow like they say.

Hi all,

I just love the snow - we go skiing quite alot and I revel in the cold air and fresh fall of snow - you can't beat it.  Sometimes it's so cold that your breath catches in your throat and then the adrenelin pumps in at the sight of a run and you forget all about it.  

Over here I loved it when we got snow especially as it was even more than was forecast for Essex.  Admittedly  I was worried for the wildlife but the snow we had wasn't for long thankfully and hopefully alot of our bird life and other small animals were able to cope.  I know that wasn't the case for everyone.

I did find it ironic though when I saw geese coming in escaping the harsh weather from countries afar only to find the same here - Can't imagine how fed up they must have felt to fly all that way only to turn up over here expecting milder weather!   Can't even do a U turn really can they? Bless them.

I also love the snow. It lifts my heart in the middle of gloomy miserable grey winter days, it's so light and bright, and makes me feel like a child again. I love the walks - everything looks so different, like another place altogether. I find it healthy and the best way to kill coughs and colds. I know it causes severe problems, transport chaos, and everything else mentioned on this thread, but we can't stop it so we may as well get out and about, try to enjoy it and make the most of it.

Kat - my dogs are also suffering withdrawal symptoms!
