UK BBSers: From Russia with SNOW....

Stopped snowing here for a bit, still barely past the level of a 'dusting' (thanks Lindley ;) ). Hopefully we'll get something more substantial this evening, It'll be very anticlimatic if this is it.
I know, so much for "Britain Braces for Arctic Weather".
 
ahhhh! theres about 4 inches of the ruddy stuff outside hate the snow its cold wet and tastes horrible

Top tip - never drink from the yellow snow...:lol:

It's beautiful here... *if it works...*

Light fall again now, what a wonderful excuse to eat chocolate:lol:

My cat goes mad in it, chasing the flakes - how cute. Couldn't pursuade him to pose for me thou:(

Do we remember those slushies one used to be able to buy? That was like a cup of snow with added colourings and flavourings. Can we still buy those, or are they another 80s phenomenon that hasn't made it? I used to love those when I was little. :)

Slush Puppies? I remember them. They were everywhere in the late 80s/early 90s.
 
I remember buying slush puppies at school, but they were never made from snow... thank god.

My friend's dad told me his parent's used to make ice cream by simply putting the containers out in the yard when it snowed. No need for pesky fridges. Now THAT'S what I call a homemade ice cream. :D
 
I loved sluch puppies when I was younger, well apart when they would give me brain-freeze!

I've been out today and its lovely and I've noticed that alot of people are talking to complete strangers, in a good way. What can I say nasty weather brings people together :D Its also great to see the kids loving it.

Yes. They're the ones. Remembering everybodies favourite, the blue raspberry. I'm wondering if I can make one out of snow.
It was the blue one I remember too. :) I thought they only came in blue...

As for making it out of snow fallen from the sky and onto the ground, be sure to wash out the bird guano and acidic industrial chemicals out first. ;)

And if the snow looks yellowish, DON'T TOUCH IT! :lol:
 
The local cinema sells slushies, but I think they're a different brand to Slush Puppies. I loved the blue and the red ones.

A pub near us was doing them up to a couple of years ago. I think the almost 'radioactive glow' makes people very wary of the E content nowadays:) I recall a blue one that could light up a room:guffaw: As the kids were not allowed them by 'responsible' parents, the pub tried adding vodka and marketing them as 'cool alcopops'. Yeh, I'm going to stick to a nice Shiraz thanks all the same:klingon:.

There was a club who did the alcoholic ones around here too, along with alcoholic ice lollies. :lol: Who says we're encouraging kids to drink...
 
Mid-Cornwall has had a few inches now. I hope Pingfah got home ok. :eek: People here are so unused to snow they tens to crawl around at 2mph after the first three flakes, and we've had a few more than that.

Pics later!
 
I don't believe it! Talk about Britain panicking... Needed couple of bits for dinner from local shop 10 mins walk away, due to close at 6pm and they'd already shut at 4.45! NO! Why? I need food, and wine, and stuff..... Perhaps those people who keep stocks of corned beef etc have a plan:(
