I have a relative who just came up from Texas (where it is currently sunny and 80ºF/26ºC) and she said that Saint Louis looks like "a frozen Russian tundra." lol

We had a foot of snow last week that the city hasn't finished clearing, and another six inches yesterday, and more coming on tty Thursday! I needed a shovel, kitty litter, and a few old rags rugs for traction to get into and out of my driveway and alley. Oh, and 550 pounds of son and hubby to push when directed.
Auuuuugggghhhhh!!! and now we have single side parking in the city until April 1. they haven't had to do that in almost twenty years!! Our stupid city planners only budgeted for one snow emergency, we've had four, and winter just officially started!! Boneheads, morons, thugs, and smiling thugs; that's what we have in city government!

When I'm at work I feed the birds I know they're only pigeons and a few crows, but there's pretty much no other wild birds around me, the wood near my house is over run by magpies and squirrels...
Honeslty, I want it to snow LOADS more! But then for it to all dissapear for Harrogate Gotta say though, walking throug the snow during a blizzard to work isn#t the funnest of things, especially as you're late and half running!
I'm half confident that the government would have done something about the roads seeing as this may go on for a while. It wold be silly if they just let it ride over and the country goes into a standstill. My friend is going to uni in durum, and she said that the north is used to cold and snow, and the south just seems to fall appart :lol:
By the way, is the show easy to get to (maoin roadish) as the reading show was? I know the swindon show was down country lanes, and that sort of road wouldn't be a priority.

I also feed the birds (and the squirrels)...I know you're not supposed to, but it's so fun to watch them.

the North yorkshire show ground where it's held is pretty easy to get too, its just off the motorway. but there are a few roads i can see being a problem once you come off the motorway. Considering we had 11 inch of snow last week and now the councils are rationing Grit only the main roads will be gritted for roads leading to hospitals. Please god if you love me at all you'll send this snow away from the north by the middle of jan please please please... Hope everyones got a 4x4
Yup snows awful up in CoDurham too, main roads- fine, my estate- buggered. And to top it all off the coucil do such a good job that after the snows been gritted, its pushed onto the paths from the roads, meaning us pedestrians have to manouvre our way around it, whilst it turns to ice and make you flay about trying to keep balance :evil:

I do love snow... I like it when it falls really heavy!! hehe
Its just so typical I had managed to aviod a bad fall until last night (Went down BANG, straight on my lower back/right hip)... phoned in at work this morning and spent all of it in bed, now just got up and squealed through the pain of actually getting moving.
Now I have to go and get shopping, darn it all.

Monday was so beautiful!! It was snowing lightly around noon and the trees and houses were already lined with white. Itt was like a Christmas card!.
If it had only snowed lightly for an hour and stopped, I'd still love it. I'm moving so slowly whenever I walk on snow or ice. Haven't fallen during the winter in years. L'il tiny baby steps, that's me. My boss fell and broke her hip last week; a caution for sure. And then there's the ice damming resulting in a brief shower in my kitchen. It's never good when you find it raining inside your house. I'm waiting right now for the roofing company to check to see if we near repairs. They removed the snow Sunday morning. I felt so blessed that I COULD get a reputable roofer to come to do that on a Sunday morning. We haven't had snow like this in twenty years!!

its still here too, there was so much of it fallen that I think it will be well into january before it goes anywhere. My other half slipped in it a few weeks ago cracking 3 of his ribs and causing various other bruising
Really wish the snow would sod off now
