Sweet Pete Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Snow's great if you're a kid, or maybe if you have kids. Other than that it's a pain in the arse (figuratively) and the accompanying cold weather is a pain in the joints (literally) - particularly sitting at the football for a couple of hours. I was really sore after sitting at the Sons - v - East Fife game at the weekend, my knees and shoulders had stiffened up and my back was aching. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 East Kilbride has got about 1/2 inch on top of the cars and on paths. Unless it is 6 foot deep here, nobody else in the Glasgow area really has any snow to worry about! Still snowing but it is slackened off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theentomologist Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Nothing in Glasgow, just clear skies and cold........ that's exactly the ideal conditions for it when the temp drops tonight though. e.g. cold now, gets even colder then the snow front comes in over night, et voila you wake up up to thick drifting snow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossC93 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Finally snowing here, annoying that every time it snows, theres already a small layer of water on ground from rain so that the snow can't lie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John MacLean Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Was snowing here a little earlier but it might just have been the arse in the flat above holding his head out the window and shaking the dandruff from his hair.

Pink Freud Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 At the risk of running out a tired old cliche about softy southerners, I received this e-mail from my daughter's school not half an hour ago - Dear Parent/Carer Please would you be aware that there is currently a severe weather warning in place for the next 24 hours for the Cambridge area. Please check our college website, xxxxxxx for up to date information on any possible school closure. Information will also be broadcast on Radio Cambridgeshire in this event. Now, this probably seems like a smart move, given that a severe weather warning is potentially cause for alarm, right? Here is what the Beeb is forecasting for tomight and tomorrow for the Cambridge area: Light snow tonight, maximum temerature of 1degree tomorrow. Yep, we've had it..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Yep, we've had it..... As a Scot, I believe that if it does snow you're now legally and morally bound to strut about declaring "ye call this fucking snow?". Oh, and Thundermonkey will shortly be on to explain that it isn't the soft southerners overreacting to the snow, but in fact, an opportunity for all the communities of south England to get together in a spirit of harmony and rejoice in the winter wonderland.

Pink Freud Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 As a Scot, I believe that if it does snow you're now legally and morally bound to strut about declaring "ye call this fucking snow?". I've been practicing all year. "Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, and since we've no place to go, do you pansies call this snow?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
