UK BBSers: From Russia with SNOW....
- Thread starter Zulu Romeo
- Start date
It's stopped now, and it's only a light wind with the occasional gust. We did have some bad winds a couple of weeks ago though, gusts up to 80mph according to the weather reports.
This snow
snow has been located, first real snow ive seen all day.This snow
The snow seems light here - but that means no going anywhere. As soon as theres the smallest hint of bad weather Scotrail decides to delay and cancel trains just in case they get wet.
For once I'd like to see a proper snowfall, ya know, at least 6 inches and see what happens. I haven't seen that much snow in 15 year or more. I don't remember that much panic back then, but then I was probably too busy going out to make a snow man, or an igloo or something.Been snowing for an hour or so here, still the lightest of dustings, but probably enough for everyone to panic. We really can't handle snow in the country
A good 7 or more inches in the gardens. 
^ How it looks right now-ish.
^ Middle of the night last night.
^ Railing on the houses late last night.
Waking up to a magical winter wonderland this morning.
^ A gorgeous blanket of purity. It has not snowed like this for 18 years. Very special.
Quite Dickensian scenes today! All we need now are horses and carriages...

When Hobart suffered its " Big Snow" about 20 years ago it bought the whole city to a stop. However I think it was understandable as we so rarely get snow. I think that snow has only ever settled in the city centre about 3 times in my life (and I am 50 years old). We are also a hilly city so driving becames very dangerous when the roads are covered in snow.
School was cancelled for the day and most people didn't go to work.
One man did get to work by skiing over the Tasman bridge and another, who lived in Ferntree (Tasmania's highest suburb which gets snow quite regularly) drove his snowmobile down right into the city centre.

Spoke to my little brother and sis, and they're also off school, and about to go play outside for snow-fights.
Wish I had a pair of snow shoes to go visit them with.
And they say there's more to come!

It's snowing outside my office now.
We're complete weather pussies in this nation.
As it happens it only takes a small amount of snow to make part of my walk to work an exercise in sledging without the sledge. Managed to not come down the hill on my ass tho.

It's snowing again.
Fortunately the gritter has been down our street. It has never been down our street before.
