Title: Snow on it's way ???
Post by: Old Cruser on January 20, 2015, 01:45:24 PM
Here's the link for our postcode.

Quick run to the supermarkets and empty the shelves!

Hope it changes  :(

Keep your fingers crossed that they've got it wrong OC.  I can't be bothered to go and do a shop - we've got bread, we've got jam.  Might even have some 'scratchit' somewhere.  Yum - bread n scratchit.  Can't go wrong  ;)

Peak 107 have backed up the weather forecast.

Gerty your bread and scratch it made me think of my father who used to offer visitors a cup of tea in a jam jar and bread and jam !!  :))

Peak107 are probably reporting 2010's weather.
They will be reporting the same weather over the group's entire UK network.
Stick with the BBC and your postcode. Much more reliable  ;)

Being old and retired has it's bonuses  ;)

ps - you have 3 hours to raid the supermarkets before it starts  :-?

A lot of school closures today, although it doesn't look too bad out there??
I won't be taking daughter to her weekly center, wheelchairs and snow don't go well together!

Dunno maybe  -----

All this makes me laugh it's January you can expect snow hardly going to get a heatwave are we?

Be lovely if we did  ;)

It's snowed in summer before, why not a heatwave in January ?  (y)

It's a few years ago now but the weather was good enough in February to play golf up at Stanedge in short sleeve shirts. Only lasted a few days though

I remember a couple of years ago where we had really warm weather for about a week, talking like no coat weather then the week after we had snow.
Little un was in nursery at the time to me thats a tad strange especially as people were dressed for warmer weather then had to bring out the snow boots again

Took the bus into town today and was surprised to see snow/ice on roads/pavements.
Generally we have a bucket load and go into town where there is none!

Flybynight - I did look to see if you were parked up but only one taxi there, it 'may' have been Margaret, but wasn't sure.
