Ok, I didn't get as much snow as everyone else here, but I went out into the snow at 1.30am and got back at 3!

That was the most fun, impulsive thing I've done!

Here is my garden earlier this morning...

Here is my garden earlier this morning...

As a Londoner that's not a garden, that's a park!

Just been out with the dogs - didn't last long as Suzy clumped up within minutes...

The garden...

Dinah...

Suzy...

And with the clumpy ice balls on her back legs...

My dog has the same problem but we have to be careful getting them off has he has metal pins in both his hind legs & it sometimes hurts him

Believe me it feels like a park when I'm mowing the lawn!!

 

[tennisfan]

your garden looks very pretty Nikki

Thanks, as you can see the dog has spoiled the fresh snow by walking round in it

Schools out and DH can't get to work so we went to the field behind our house to meet up with some friends. The snow was very deep and Poppy (age3) found it really hard and tiring to walk in, but we had fun sledging and the like!

View at the front of our house.

DH just went and cleared some snow from the car, you can see how deep it is.

Blimey Joanne! I am glad we haven't got that much snow!

Awww, poor thing!!! Suzy got into a terrible state last time there was deep snow with frozen snowballs all over her legs and tummy - I ended up hosing her down with warm water in the bath as I was terrified she'd catch pneumonia... Fortunately, we now have underfloor heating in the conservatory so I turned it up and it melted the snow clumps off her as she lay down...

Looks fun, Joanne! Richard has trudged to Marks and Parc Franglais for supplies - he loves this kind of weather as his 'survival' instincts kick in...

Blimey Joanne! I am glad we haven't got that much snow!

It's brilliant, Claire!!! Tho' I'm a little worried about the conservatory roof...

We have it in the kitchen, isn't it glorious! We all came in, stripped the girls off and they lay all over the floor getting warm - it's good for kids too!

The snow is very very bad where I live. I struggled to get into work this morning and am now sat at work watching the snow falling outside and wondering about how bad it will be getting home later

Same here, I'm watching my Richard trying to dig the car out of the drive incase I want to go out tomorrow. He's gone all manly and protective on me

There is a lot here, Claire. Karen and I are minutes away - we have a lot! There's quite a lot of open space and parks around here too, so it's very pretty.
FIL just called and said he's worried about his conservatory roof too, I think he's was going up a ladder to scrape it off with a soft broom!

My moms in Birmingham today and has unfortunatly gone in on the train, hope she gets home today.

I'm still in bed

Well we had at least a foot of snow here this morning and now it's really coming down.

Just sent everybody, that managed to get into work this morning, home as I don't want them getting snowed in. The manager didn't make it in so I guess he won't mind.

I walk to work so will be here until 3 when I go and pick the girls up - well that's if the school stays open!

Have fun everybody - loving the photos of you all in the snow.

Don't stay too late, Kathryn...

I don't intend to honey

Heading off to work at 2pm, start at 4pm, and doing a detour across Eastbourne to see my Nan as she isn't very well at the moment and want to see her before we go away on Thursday. Hoping that the snow isn't too much before then.
