Yes!! We Have Got It At last Since.........

Hi Chevee, Yes I was very excited about the beauiful snow today as we haven'#t had any for so many years and felt like a child, the children were all playing out in the snpw and they looked so happy, it was like children's day hehe. Thanks for your response hugs. Tamara

Would have been interesting to have the snow around Yule. Lighting the log with snow gently falling...quite an image for your part of the world.

Hi bunnybon7, Well we have rain, rain and more rain, and we lots of windy days as well which hate, when its really cold we ger fog and frost, so we don't often get the snow, as we live in the south of England it warmer but the north gets some snow but it has not been as bad as now, so its a big shock for us to get all that snow. Love and hugs. Tamara

Hi gabs, It was just lovely to watch the snow falling so thick and fast, we haven't seen snow like this for nearly 20 years and the children wer all out playing in it, it was a sight for so eyes, but now it is nearly gone but there is black ice and I won't go out as I am scared to fall, it may start sbowing again on Thursday, I hope Gissi love the snow, thanks for your comments Gabs. Hugs. Tamara

Hi twoey68, Lol yes we had this beautiful mass of white stuff which we haven't seen for nearly 20 years and everything came to a stand still but the children really enjoyed themselfves plaing in the snow and now some of the snow has melted and in others parts it is turning to ice, I remember last time we had snow and ice I fell and broke my wrist, so now I won't venture out at all. Thanks for your lovely comments. Tamara

Hi Nhey16, You just have to come over here to have snowball fights hehe, all the snow have gone now and it is now raining, but we will be getting more snow tomorrow night into Tuesday and may go again on Wednesday, so we only a day and half to paly in the snow. Love and hugs. Tamara

Hi crazygemini, Yes it is very cold here but the snow is so beautiful, until it gets very slushy so we have to make the most of it and make snowman, thanks for your coments. Tamara

well can u send me some picture of you and your family enjoying the snow.... it would be great to see it. if its ok. thanks in advance

I'm 6 yrs. older than you and it would kill me to jump on a sled and go down a hill. I'd have bruises all over the place..lol London was on our local news tonight mentioning the 6 inches you got today and another 6 inches tomorrow. People were interviewed and I just love to hear the accents.

Hi carolbee, Who said you can't have fun even if your kids are all grown up, yes I can just see you wheeee down the hill in your slede, hehehe, well you can always make a snowman, I did this morning and I'm 56 years young, yes it has been a long time since we had snow and now I have heard its 18 years since we had the white stuff, we just have rain most of the time so it is a change, everyone is having fun but then it will turn to ice as it is so cold already, but its still snowing though. Thanks for your response hugs. Tamara

LOL I don't think you would want snow like we do lol it is very yukky!!! Another province in Canada got a lot of snow this year and it is not normal for them to get much and they were panicking too. The forcast is calling for more snow here too. I will upload a pic for you to see

Hi StrawberryKisses, Wow!! that seems to be a lot of snow you have, and yes we have snow but not as much, I think about 12 inches of snow. Tamara

Hi StrawberryKisses, Wow!! how do your country cope? I'm sure they cope well but here in the UK we never get much snow and theis is the first time for many years that we are experiencing this weather, it is coming from the Russian front, and our airports are having problems already and closing some runways and I expect schools will be closed too, they are really panicking over here hehe, if we had snow like you do I wonder what we'll do. Thanks for you input in was interesting. Tamara

Hi Raia, Lovely to see you arond here again, I know you are a busy lady but it is still nice to see you here. What a lovely picture that is and I haven't seen so much snow like what you have, all our snow is gone and the sun is shining but very cold, the weather man is telling us now that we are going to be getting more snow tomorrow night but not sure how much. There lots of snow up in the north of England and they are having problems with not enough grits and gritting trucks, only this country have problems it seems, but I love the snow. Thanks Raia for your lovely comments and your photo, its beautiful. Love and hugs. Tamara

Hi again,Thank you for the friend request I appreciate your friendship and exchanges no matter where they are. I am glad you enjoyed the photo. Yes, when the sun shines on the snow it appears like millions of little shining gemstones. Those of who were born and raised in this climate know how to dress for it. Our cars have studded tires and we drive for conditions. Layering is the key to staying warm and by and large we do. So even though we may grumble a bit when the temperatures dip really low we are acclimatized and just keep on keeping on. I loved picking up on the childlike enthusiasm you and Scorpio were sharing about your experiences and perceptions of the snow. That is why forums are such great fun...sharing ideas, geographical differences and so much more. I have included one of the snow on our deck, garden and back yard. This the amount that has been here for the past six weeks because it is too cold to melt right now. Enjoy the snow if you get more and always stay safe dear one. Hugs and warm, caring regards, Raia

Here is a photo of ice daggers as kids like to call them...they can become rally large and rather dangerous when there is a particular type of melt...these are just "baby ones." Raia

Hi ellie, Awwww ellie, I do so hope you get some snow and I am thinking you will, it is about 6 inches of snowfall here and still falling, lots of schools is closed and the kids are enjoying the snow, you should see their little faces how wonderful is that? I know your little boy will really be excited, have fun when it comes, love and hugs. Tamara xxxxx

It has now started snowing here too so hopefuly he will wake up to snow and being able to play in it for the first time tomorrow. I can't wait to see his little face all excited bless. Huggles. Ellie :D

There's always next year elitess!

Hi elitess, I remember when you had snow and you sent a picture of you having fun in the snow and I was a little bit jealous hehe but now we have the white stuff and I have made a little snowman but I have not got a digital camera so I can't send you any pics, or the snow as I want it all to myself, you have yours next year hehe. Thanks for your response. Tamara

Hi fluffysue, Yesh it was exciting for the kids maimely as they have never seen real snow, I love the snow because I don't have to go outside. Thanks for your response, Tamara

Hi fwidman, Thank you so much for that, yes I do remembet you saying you had snow, but our snow will be all gone very soon as the normal rain will fall and wash it all away, but the children loves it as all schools were closed and transports as well so it snow holiday it seems here, it is so beautiful like a christmas card and my two little robins came out to be fed just now and took the food out of my hands, it just made my day. Tamara

That's the best kind of snow, it comes for a very short time and everyone gets to enjoy it and then it is gone again. No months of freezing cold like they have in some parts of the world

Hi scorpio, Go on! admitted, you are a big kid at heart hehehe, its a shame your kids had to go to school as most of the schools were shut here in west sussex and the faces of the children were a picture, hubby whinged about going to work but he did in the end, and I went out to make a little snowman and felt a snowball on my head, I had a visit from a old friend, but I got him back on his way out, great fun eh? love and hugs. Tamara xxxxx

Hi hun, you sound like you've had great fun, well it's snowing here very heavily now and it's expected to carry on so hopefully schools will be closed tomorrow and I can build me snowman, sorry I mean I'II help my littlen build his...lol

sorry hun I meant "it's wasn't to bad" not was !!

Hi ronaldinu, Its not very often we have snow here, gosh! the last time was I've just heard 18 years ago which is a very long time, nope, I have got my shovel as I leave that to my husband but I have made a little snowman this morning hehehe,m thanks for responding. Tamara

Hi AmbiePam, Yes it has been many years since we had snow like his, London was covered in it and I think about 6/7 inches of snow and all the schools were closed so the children can p,lay out in the snow, reminded me of the old days when child used to play like that all the time, I think the snpw is going to turn into ice and it would be like a one big ice rink soon. Thanks for your response. Tamara

Hi Elic, Thank you for your quick response, I should be sleeping but I'm mylotting hehehe, yes I love the white stuff because I am not venturing out, just love to watch it coming down, I and in my 50s so I won't be going out sledging lol I should try, nope perhaps not. I don't like it when its turns to ice though as I have broken my arms once on the ice and it makes me feel scared to go out in it. This weather coming from Russia by the way. Thanks Elic. Tamara

I don't like ice, the last time we did actually have snow, the roomie tried to get me to go look, I peeked out of the window and said "Yep, that's snow" **snore**

Hi littleowl, Yes wew don't live too far from each other but we have had 6 inches here and I made a little snowman too, it is s beautiful at the moment and to top it all my two little robins came up to me for some bread and took it of my hands, isen't that sweet? poor little things. Keep warm please and thats an orde. Love and hugs. Tamara

Hi littleone3, The snow is so lovely and it does bring out the child in you and the kids must be so happy, no school and to play in the snow is great fun, make a big snowman, it will last longer. Have fun. Tamara

Hi TnWoman, Yes its has been a long time since we had a good snowfall and yes I have been outside making a small snowman, it was fun, its going to really freeze soon and it will turn to ice so I'm staying indoors when that happens, don't want to slip and fall hehehe. Thanks for your coments, love and hugs. Tamara xxxxx
