Snow in England -.-

[Sovvolf]

For everyone complaining that other countries just carry on, to be fair they get snow more regularly and in greater quantities. I lived in St. Peterburg (Санкт петербур&#1075 last year, and I got along fine, with utterly no disruption through roughly five months of this sort of weather, as did the transport systems

Certainly there's an element of hysteria, but it simply isn't economically worthwhile for our government or businesses to invest in proper snow-clearing equipment, and it gives reporters an excuse not to do their jobs properly for a few days.

Also: uni cancelled today, since lecturers can't get in. Score. One more day to do translations.

Though lets face it, the media will milk the shit out of this. I can already see the ad in my head for the Channel 4 documentary, where they make it sound like the apocalypse was upon us. Getting some sad bastards on T.V to tell us how their lives were ruined because it snowed.

That being said, I do hope this snow stops eventually... Keeps getting deeper and deeper without no sign of stopping... Causing a real annoyance. I of course blame all this on my cousin... He wished for snow so he could get a day off College and this shit happens.

Yeah, it is really bad here. I'm in Sheffield. I don't think we have quite 3 ft here, but atleast 30cm. Most likely more. Busses have stopped, a lot of things shut etc. It's crazy. Admittedly we have got quite a lot, but you would have thought they'd be more prepared for this now.

I live up at the higher end of Barnsley (I think area I live it is the highest point) so we must have gathered quite a lot of snow. Its up to your knees in some places up here and at the worse parts its about waist deep... Given that I'm about 5'11-6ft, I'd say that's pretty deep. Adding to the fact that its still dropping heavily... Well.. Doesn't look good.

That being said... Snow always looks beautiful even if its causing a major annoyance.

I wouldn't mind if I didn't have work set to do. I can do work easily at school, but if set something that isn't even homework, to do for a snow day, I'm just the master of procrastination.

Should probably start hoarding canned food and digging out a bomb-shelter. If this climate change pushes the jet-stream north of England then it could crash a huge portion of Western Europe's agriculture, and fighting over food can get ugly.

I live on campus at University, so I haven't really been disrupted that much by the snow.

 

[SalamanderJoe]

The snow was not even that bad. It's the ice which will cause the problems. Pass the time by building a snow fortress around your house then invite your friends over. That's what I'd do.

OMG its snowing in England, its Global Cooling! The next Ice Age is upon us!

(Oh, and its not really snow, its ash from the alien space ship that The Doctor blew up)

You have no idea how many 'So much for global WARMING' facebook statuses I've seen. *sigh*

OT: I'm going sledging soon, it's my 6th day off school since it started snowing. I kind of want to go to school. But then again, I don't.

My teacher rang me up to give me work so I'm still learning.

I did nothing!

OT: It's snowing here in Scotland too you know. Not just England.
We have about 3/4 foot of snow in N/E Scotland and it's only halfway through the week!

It has snowed the last few days, but it hasn't settled. I wanted a snow day :`(

 

[drbarno]

There's snow around here, but it's much too cold to go outside. So I'm just staying in catching up on my gaming.

Indeed. It looks nice until people start walking and attempt to drive through it atleast.

I live on the south east outskirts of the city, it is on a slight hill, but nothing extreme. I've actually stayed in today, so I'm not sure how high it comes up, there's a damn lot though. You can see it piled up on top of our connifers, walls, and shed in the garden. According to a friend who walked down to the corner shop, a lot of cars and lorries have just been left on the roads everywhere around the village. I'm wondering how much deeper it'll get, it's still snowing heavily here too.

Snow is so bad around here that university was closed today.

Yeah my uni's shut as well. Crazy.

 

[imnot]

Where I am its pretty much clear

 

[The_Fezz]

Yup I'm pretty much snowed in, thanks to global warming, I would do go on the PS3 but it's my Birthday next week so I'm bored to death

 

[Harlemura]

I stay inside and either do computer/internet things or go on Assassin's Creed when my dad isn't playing Gran Turismo 4 through for the 50,000th time.
Because if I leave necessarily, I might slip on more ice and smash my elbow again. Okay, I didn't smash it, but it still hurt like a *****. Winter is a dangerous time for the clumsier humans.

 

[BlackStar42]

In Shropshire it's just bad enough to piss you off, but not enough to get you a day off. Blast.

 

[Shadow-Phoenix]

I hate snow on the crummy Isle of Man because we just got snow but ive got college this evening and the snows pretty much gone to the point where college won't be closed but its still slippery on the pavements and cold as hell... this sucks.

 

[hazabaza1]

Sonw? In England?
You do know that's a massive contradiction, right?

 

[traineesword]

It doesn't snow in Australia. Ever. We're too manly for the white fluffy stuff, too buys fighting giant spiders. All that jazz.

A. I. War: Fleet Command

That should last the full duration of ANY blizzard.

Ugh, I hate that games interface, so clunky. Good game though.

didn't you get proper rainfall for the first time in a gajillion years or something though? (pardon me and my lack of knowledge, i am a very ignorant person when it comes to other places)

i have never played this game, and i would consider getting it... if i could furking get out of my crappy village and to a game shop!
