Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: Manky Monkey on February 02, 2009, 12:59:55 AM ....still snowing.
Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: Manky Monkey on February 02, 2009, 01:01:51 AM Bloomin' cold out there.
So we're staying in here in front of the fire. Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: Baby Duck on February 02, 2009, 08:05:08 AM Hey Manky...I hope you let Taz sit by that fire to warm up after you made her stand out in the cold so you could take a picture.
Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: Mr_G on February 02, 2009, 08:10:49 AM So who can't get to work today then? I can unfortunately :(
Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: tazet on February 02, 2009, 08:19:53 AM Yes got the fire ;D It's our day off today so don't have to go in. I'm just waiting for the phone calls from horse owners at my work saying they can't get in to feed their horses. I'm close enough that I could walk if I need too.
Photos taken at 7 this morning. Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: tazet on February 02, 2009, 08:20:46 AM With & without the flash.

Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: tazet on February 02, 2009, 08:25:00 AM Also looks like the Milk man didn't manage to get here as no milk on the doorstep when I opened the door. Not that you could find it in the snow. Bummer as I've only got 1/2 pint left and that won't last me :(
Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: Simple Simon on February 02, 2009, 10:42:43 AM I managed to get in this morning, it took me nearly an hour (usually takes 10 mins) only to sit in the office for 45 mins with every other bus driver in this part of surrey before being told to go home as no busses will run today that was 2 hours ago and i've just got back home. >:( >:(
Why do people insist on driving like idiots in bad weather. cant they just relax and take there time???? Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: Manky Monkey on February 02, 2009, 04:07:51 PM Fortunately my day off today, but no Postal deliveries here. Not sure whether the sorting office will be open tomorrow when I eventually fight my way there. Heaviest snowfall for 18 years apparently, with more to come.
Taz & I have been out this morning, wading knee deep in snow to check on some of the livestock. The doorman needed digging out of a snowdrift by the back door. Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: Manky Monkey on February 02, 2009, 04:10:38 PM 13 inches of snow on the garden table.
Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: Manky Monkey on February 02, 2009, 04:13:34 PM I'll have to dig my way into the shed later.
Taz's daffodils have survived snug & warm in the greenhouse though. Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: Manky Monkey on February 02, 2009, 04:16:11 PM .

Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: Manky Monkey on February 02, 2009, 04:20:58 PM The poor carriage ponies were dragging balls of snow & ice around, frozen to their tails.
Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: Manky Monkey on February 02, 2009, 04:23:09 PM The 3 lakes are partly frozen over.
Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: Manky Monkey on February 02, 2009, 04:27:03 PM Not much wildlife in the garden today. I guess they're all tucked up somewhere out of the weather.

Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: TwistedPatience on February 02, 2009, 06:15:23 PM We've now got about an inch of snow but it's not settling on the road's yet, hoping for about a foot by morning.
Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: Firery Fred on February 02, 2009, 08:42:12 PM We're expecting another 12 inches of snow tonight so I'm expecting to be off again >:( really need the work at the moment
Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: brock on February 02, 2009, 10:53:03 PM knock on next door's door and then chuck a snowball right up at the ridge above it. Oh, and then run away
Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: Baby Duck on February 02, 2009, 11:32:51 PM fab pics you two...thanks for sharing
Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: BikerGran on February 03, 2009, 12:16:57 AM That really IS a lot of snow!
And I absolutely love the lake picture! (they're all great but thats my favourite) Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: Manky Monkey on February 03, 2009, 08:12:10 AM It's eerily quiet out on the estate. Hardly any birdsong, no sound of wind in the trees, no duck or geese calls from the lakes, (we've got brown Egyptian geese here). Very odd. Stood in the garden late last night & it was totally silent.
Yeah, the snow's very picturesque -or "picture skew" as Hilda Baker used to say, but it's a sign that you're getting old & boring when your first thought is How am I going to get to work? Knowing who Hilda Baker was is also probably a sign that I'm getting old. :( Title: Re: Hey look -it's snowing! Post by: tony b on February 03, 2009, 10:23:38 AM course you are malcolm
