Subject: RE: BS: Is it snowing where you live?
Yes, again here in Beverley, (East Yorkshire UK).

My daughter took 1.5 hours to travel 4 miles across Hull and said 3" fell in that time. I'm 10 miles north and it's diong the same here. I've seen -5 on my car thermometer but my twin, south of Edinburgh has reached -11 and has 10" of snow and the schools have closed. Further north, my sister in Blairgowrie mentioned -12 but up there the locals are more used to harsh weather and their schools are still open.... but had to pay out their 'coffee morning' profits to get someone to clear the playground!!
I'm so glad not to have to venture out and hope that the local football match is cancelled as it'll cause so many to risk the conditions. I know it's always important for the games to be played but sense should prevail and those Chelsea fans trying to travel to Hull will need to set off tonight to have a chance to get here for the early kick off (1245 I think)...It's on due to be on TV too.
Better go before the old man sees this comment. He's all set with his thermals and sheepskin jacket!
PS I love the snow all crisp, white and pretty, it's the thawing slush and muck that causes such trouble...time to go clear the ice rink at the end of the driveway!!
