The forecast was correct; 1ft.. of fresh snow, blowing into deep drifts, some drifts are now several feet deep all around my house......the pic was snapped this morning, but the snow has been non-stop and is deeper-still: well beyond me and my snow shovel. (although I have tried!) :'(
How`s it elsewhere in OOF land?

Looks fantastic, just as long as you don`t have to work in it.

No snow here in Lincolnshire Debs.
How is your car?. .......nothing too serious I hope. :y :y :y
-
Wow, Debs, that looks really wintry. Are you cut-off up there or have they managed to keep the roads clear? :o
-
Get the skis out!
-
Rain, rain, b****y rain, that's all we've had here.
So did you get to fix that miggy then Debs :-X
Mick ;)
-
hasnt stopped raining here for 2 days.
-
had snow last night, but never settled. Rain, rain, and more rain
-
Well at least it will take your mind off the cooling system problem.
You should have put a big 'X' on the photo to indicate where the Omega is buried. :)

:'( Sadly, we`re cut-off now...7 ft. drifts in the lanes and a massive drift; 3ft. deep all the way up my 400 yard driveway......surely`going to get 'cabin-fever' soon and start prowling the house carrying an axe!....[size=14]"Here`s Debbie!"[/size] >:(
;D ;D ;D ;D

Typical-I love snow and always hope for it at Christmas time.
Last few years-none, so this year arranged to do Christmas in Poland where snow is guaranteed. Left Leominster-no snow, horrendous driving conditions through snow all the way, Harwich, Hoek and across Germany with icebound motorways and -17 degrees.
Get to Lodz-it's plus 11 degrees for Christmas, very light dusting of snow yesterday, now really snowing and forecast all the way to Hoek for our return journey...typical!!
When we get home, the snow will have gone, so we have had all of the hassle, none of the benefit.
Bloody weather ;D

Agreed, the allure soon falls from the senses when living or trying to exist in the countryside in such weather - it can be a real pain in the drawers [smiley=thumbdown.gif] [smiley=thumbdown.gif] [smiley=thumbdown.gif]

Bloody hell Debs :o :o :o :o
I remember when we had major snow in the early eighties. We were stranded for days & it was so deep we couldn't get the Land Rover out. In the distance i could see a JCB digging his way to us, when he got to our home we made him a hot drink & my mum asked him if he would dig us a path to the Landy, which he did. We had to dig trenches so we could feed our stock.
I know just how it feels Debs.
Keep your chin up & take your time. Keep yourself warm & fed :y :y :y :y It won't be forever ;)

Gratefully accepted H.C; I think it was the monster snow-deluge following hot on the heels of my Miggy`s coolant blow-out, that induced the weepiness! ;)
-

As for Swansea still windy and no rain, you can throw some of the snow a bit further south if you don't want it debs its almost a straight line south from where you are to here :D

Tried to snow tonight, but turned to sleet, to be honest, I am pleased to see the back of it....... ;D ;D

6 hours of non-stop shovelling; cutting the 12" depth of packed-snow on the driveway into 'blocks' and then lifting/throwing clear.......house and farmyard area cleared; now `just 300 yards of steeply-inclined driveway left to do......
.....somebody please shoot me! :'(
