Snow is given for us on ealry hours Monday and Tuesday mornings next week. Doesn't snow all day though according to the BBC weather for my postcode. :(
-
Quick, get to Tesco this weekend and panic buy ;D
Storm in a teacup. I hope ::)
-
Apparently its going to last 3 weeks.
-
@ Fly so do I hope we don't get much :(
@ Simon I think one of the daily papers say 3 weeks :-? got my stocks up so should last if that happens - hopefully not! ;)
-
Look North were forecasting snow up to Tuesday, thats as far as they went

24 months on and I may have some use for those winter tyres yet :))
Turning them into garden planters hopefully ;)
-
Im getting the snow socks out in case (not had chance to try them out yet).
If its that bad, ill be on the bus and train unless they stop running.

We lost a holiday that year :( couln't get out of the village :( of course insurance didn't pay up - always a get out clause isn't there.
-
Ok so we have the white stuff - not too much here at the moment but I think we are on an Amber warning from the BBC for later today. Fingers crossed it doesn't amount to that much - take care out there folks.
-
Steady school run to Nottingham this morning. Not too bad.
If it keeps coming down like it is now he looks like staying there :-)
-
Nothing much this morning got to site near Bawtry to find job cancelled so at home snowing pretty heavy now,Hull in the morning if i get out.
-
Bolehill at Calow was a bit dicey, pretty clear around town though
-
Went to etch the lad back just after dinner. weather was quite bad and forecast more snow. Got back to to town and most of it had gone. Bloody typical.
-
I imagine more snow is forcast, school text to say we could pick kids up at 12:30, I admit i didnt pick up laura it stopped shortly after and was fine just a bit slippery glad i left her there

Yes we used to walk to school in heavy snow years ago the only reason i can think of was our teachers mostly lived in walking distance to the school itself.

I think the nursery at the school was open, and the only reason they sent the texts out was when the snow was heavy, had it of continued then they would have thought about ringing parents it didn't so they didnt. Hence i picked her up at 3:20 :D :D
-
Years back, most people didn't rely on cars, kids walked.
I can't do my job when all these other people are clogging up the roads with their dodgy winter driving >;
-
www ooooorrrrrr Mr taxi man - watch out folks manic taxi man about when it snows ;D
-
Two words - winter tyres :!
-
6-10 inches of snow forecast for us on Friday. Be ready
-
its been very light flurries today :) the kind that tickles your nose when it falls, annoying as hell lol
-
Just looked at BBC for our postcode, snow right through from friday to Monday early hours. Only says light snow though, fingers crossed it is eh
-
Not heard any buses around - have they stopped running? Hubby opened gates and says road is icy. Pleased daughter doesn't live too far as I'm doing her care again today.
-
Seems that Stagecoach services are affected.

What is it with schools shutting or not opening etc when we have half an inch of snow... What a joke.
Claims culture, Chris. Some would rather fall over and blame someone than take responsibility for themselves. Bought these stud things to go over boots a couple of years ago mainly for walking dogs in ice and snow and don't slip one bit.

Venturing down Bolsover shortly, wish us luck ;)
-
All the best. Best of luck trying to get some milk and bread
-
Hope you get back safely Fly.
@ Slacker I bought a pair of fur lined wellie type boots years ago from bakewell, brilliant for this weather - dare I say it - they have never let me down - yet!
-
Yep made it back OK :)
Main road through Boza was pretty clear, so when we got back, we cleared the snow from my taxi and went through to Tesco in Clowne. Did our shopping, and some for our elderly Aunt.
We dropped her shopping off on our way home. ;)
-
All the best. Best of luck trying to get some milk and bread
No milk in Farmfoods. Bread almost gone, people buying 3 and 4 loafs each. Bloody stupid :-?
We didn't actually need or want bread, so didn't buy any ;)
Got some milk from Fultons.
-
I don't care what people are saying about panic-buying, I got 'er indoors to get me a few cases of Fosters just in case...
Mmmm... Amber nectar. :)
-
:)) That's right Pete get your prioritis right :))
I have again checked our postcode for weather update ---- heavy snow for tomorrow :-?
-
there was milk and bread in big tescos.. and hardly anyone in for a saturday afternoon.. buses still running in all but 3 places
-

Tesco was the same in Clowne Loopy, car park only half full :)
-
Just got back from Drax power station no snow anywhere on the roads except our street because it never gets gritted.
-
Went for the usual friday shop yesterday normally is packed but it wa really quiet in there! All the panic buyers must of got there the day before. Lasses sat on tills with no customers (4 in a row) So they must have got the staff in to cope and then no bugger turns up.
Laura's school decided on a half day so they finished at 1pm on friday. If we are in for more heavy snow i imagine they will close the school again so got to keep the phone on...
Today we went for a play in the white stuff we threw snowballs at each other and she loved it... for kids its great fun
-
I signed up for the Derbyshire alerts Friday morning when I returned home later in the day I had an inbox full of them :-? some were school closures but repeated themselves - reckon they must be paying a little person ;) (have to be politically correct ) to keep pressing the send button!

:)) :)) Very true :))
-
Yes, when I worked at AGD our headquarters were in London - very often in winter we'd get a call from them saying they were all going home as it was 1/2 inch deep!
-
We seem to have got off lightly round here. My elder daughter lives in Great Malvern in Worcestershire and she's been snowed in for a few days :(
Did people panic buy on Friday? I went to Morrisons yesterday morning and there was hardly anyone about.
-
they went out thursday gert and sucked the shops dry! MIL went for her shop firstly thurs afternoon but went home, she went back in the evening and the shelves were bare!
-
Yes I think they did Emmz. We called in on Thursday afternoon to collect something I ordered on line for my daughter and people were running in and out like little ants :)
-
Lol can just see that now! But as said on friday it was quiet and plenty of stuff left...
School closed today along with the rest of chesterfield i think
-
Sat in the house. School runs cancelled. Not much point driving to town !
-
At least the birds appreciate us.
I had actually cleared the path an hour earlier, and it's still coming down now ::)

I don't think we will need the garden furniture today...

Awww bless bet he/she is pleased to be indoors Pete.
@ Fly birds are eating us out of food we have for them, may get the car out tomorrow and buy some more.
I must say although it's not as bad as the other year DCC have at least cleared the main road through our village as much as possible, not easy with cars parked on the road side is it.
-
>> Awww bless bet he/she is pleased to be indoors Pete.
We put him in the kitchen as it's the coldest room in the house... Don't want him getting used to being warm :))
-
Still better than outside though Pete,my kitchen is the coldest in our house - cos I had the radiator out!
-
Looks like we are in for some more snow tomorrow before we then finally get some warmer air wafting our way ;)
-
I've been wafting warmer air for the last couple of months ::)
-
What you eating then Fly ::)
-
Anything lol
-
Just like my hubby then ::)
