It's pretty much gone over here so I'm pretty annoyed that I don't get out of school, like everyone else.
We had... ooh, a millimetre here? While my cousin had snow up to her knees.
Literally.

Up in Preston we have only just started getting it this week.
And now there more snow than there is in scarface.

I don't really have much snow around here anymore. 'Cause it rained last night and has transformed all surfaces into four inch thick sheets of ice. It's pissing me off 'cause I haven't been in college all week and there's an assignment due next week which I don't even have a copy of yet.
Also, it's driving my mother crazy for not being able to go anywhere 'cause it's just too dangerous.
Just this morning, mother, in her infinite wisdom decided to go to town, but we ended up coming back due to the thick sheet of ice we slid across on the way down the hill. The only way I could go back across it was by sliding over on my ass. Goddamned ice. If it's like this on Monday, fuck trying to get to college.

I want to know what all the bloody fuss is about.tomhaigh7 said:
Here we get a couple of months worth of snow every year and what do we do? We put some chains and a shovel in the boot and carry on. It annoys me how the rest of the country can't cope with a fairly mild snowstorm, Canada and Finland must be laughing at us in their sleep by now.
It's also keeping me from getting new stock, which annoys me even more.
Barely any. I'm in the Midlands and my area has extremely little snow. It's lucky I guess, but I wanted snow damn it.
No offense, but you Brits have no idea what snow is. You get a dusting and the whole country shuts down. Try living in New England during nor'easter season, where getting 18 inches overnight is par for the course.
I'm loving all this snow. Where I live in Kent there's 16 inches. I've had a 6 day weekend so I can't complain too much. But its all melting now 
The snow has been pretty annoying for me, all my trains have been cancelled so getting into uni has been difficult, in saying that though, time off is great.
Ive never seen the snow, its really hot here. My friend in the UK is snowed in. We decided to swap lives
Dug my car out 4 times this week, dug it out a foot of snow each time.
Honestly its a nightmare trying to get about, my car won't even make it out my street, and you know what? I LOVE it, its quality just a constant laugh pissing about in the snow!

Any other time i would agree with you, not this time we've had about 12 inches(ok over 3 days) where i stay. The reason we got balls up is the uk doesn't get this type of weather normally.Talal Provides said:
How bad is it over there, then? How many roads are open/closed? I'm not being a smartass, I sincerely want to know how well you're dealing with it over there with the very limited resources you have.Super Six One said:

Where i live we've been hit quite hard, the main roads are passible but most roads are down to one lane in places and the side streets are hopeless. I mean my car will not be going anywhere for the next week. TBH the council are not doing a good job but you can't really blame them there is only so much snow you can push to the side of the road.
Like that, loads of people in the uk moan about it, i love it, nothing interesting happens here, this weather is just so different.
It snowed crazy amounts from Tuesday to Friday morning, I really hate the snow. It's cold, can't go outside without slipping if you're walking or driving extremely slowly (I deteste slow driving). It's a huge nuisance, matters made worse is that because of the snow my mum hasn't gone into work for the past few days and she's doing my head in.
