80% Chance of Snow .... ........... well at least that's what the weather forecast says. If I don't get any snow this time I am going to be really miffed - it's just not fair!! What's the point of living this far north if I don't get any of the good stuff! Jill, if you get loads of it, send it my way please!!

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... And a little bit this way please - just enough to throw a few snowballs!!!!

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Here, we have had snow flurries(not quite a blizzard) on and off since 7pm, There is maybe 1.1/2" thick blanket. Surely you will get some snow this time Karen.

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Well we have a dusting of snow this morning, but hopefully there is more on the way. Sasha had her first play in it first thing - charging around the garden like an idiot! Am hoping there will be enough to chuck a few snowballs at her later on!! No schools closed in Moray, but your way looks bad Jill??

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... The snow has been off and on all day, including total white-outs. 134 schools have closed by lunchtime. Most roads are passable with caution, but this is deteriorating rapidly. And, of course, Daz can't get enough of it.

SashasMum 13:01:09 Tue Feb 28 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Not much snow left here - hopefully get some more towards end of the day. Stay tucked up in the warmth Jill!

jilldemo 13:07:50 Tue Feb 28 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Just caught the local news. Over 150 schools in the area are closed. The main North, South and West roads are described as treacherous, with numerous incidents. One multi vehicle crash on the A90 Southern route is taking hours to clear. Forecast is for plenty more snow.

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Right that's it - can anyone recommend an estate agent in Scotland? I'm moving!! I want snow and I will chuck my toy's out of the pram if I don't get any!!!!!!!!

SashasMum 13:47:02 Tue Feb 28 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Its gone cloudy and grey here again - few flakes are starting to arrive. Of course this is only because I have to go out in it and get my daughter!! The blizzard will be over once I am tucked back up inside my house!! If you want snow Paul, move to Braemar. I am reliably informed that it is the highest village in Scotland?? Did anyone hear about that poor RAF Search & Rescue helicopter team? They had to walk off the hills when their seaking's rotors froze! It's still "parked" in a corrie in the Cairngorms waiting for the weather to improve!

jilldemo 17:30:50 Tue Feb 28 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Yes, we heard about the rescue chopper. Ain't that your one Karen?

---

SashasMum 17:49:23 Tue Feb 28 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Yes it came from Lossie. My friend's hubby was the pilot! Apparently at one point he was flying by instruments alone before he could get a visual reference - scarey huh. Just shows what these guys go through to rescue folk from the hills!!!

---

gingerboy 18:00:48 Tue Feb 28 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Scarey stuff with the chopper, were they on their way to rescue somebody. If they were what the hell were people doing out in these weather conditions, especially in areas where the likelyhood of snow is high?? Paul

BoxerMad 18:10:04 Tue Feb 28 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... NOT FAIR!!!!! NOT FAIR!!!!! NOT FAIR!!!!! We had a snow shower that lasted all of five minutes - and it was whilst i was at work - of course everyone rushed to the window to have a look and then the sun came out again! The weather says it will be -2 C tonight so i expect i will have to scrape ice off the car window at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning, but i bet we won't get any of the nice white fluffy stuff!!

---

SashasMum 18:10:56 Tue Feb 28 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Yes they were on a rescue mission. They had just lowered the winchman when a blizzard came in and they lost all visual! Then the rotor blades froze over so they had to "park" it! The person got rescued and the mountain rescue team had to walk them all off the hill - that's when you know it's bad weather!

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Folks, our thoughts are with Jacquie tonight following the activity in Iraq. God protect all the peace keepers!

SashasMum 20:27:32 Tue Feb 28 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... I know, it's pretty rough out there just now. Hubby was in Basra for a week the other week and that was scarey enough. It's a thankless task what our service folk are doing, just hope they wont have to do it for much longer.

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Neither do we have any snow, them blooming Penines take it all before it gets to us. Looked at the weather forecasT today, Ireland had it, Scotland had it, the east coast and wales - Cumbria just had a blooming big sun! Of course its a different story in summer when Cumbria doesnt have a big sun!!!! Liz

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Gloom gloom - when I had the girls out this morning - we got hail stones on us! Well they were light ones but the girls were not impressed! We have had hail, snow and sleet today and cold enough tonight for ice - ugh. Liz - I take it you live in Cumbria - you will have to wave across to me on a sunny day - on a nice bright day we can clearly make out the outline of Cumbria across the Irish sea!! Helen

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... We finally got some snow! We had that bit there awhile ago and then nothing...........my daughter has been so upset since she got a snowmobile for christmas!! Now if it will just stay here until the weekend than maybe Courtnie will get to ride her machine! This has been a crazy winter here, I am in Canada for goodness sakes, we should have more snow!!!! Our town has a "winter carnival" every year, nothing fancy but fun. Most of the stuff had to be cancelled The skating on the rink was cancelled, not cold enough to freeze, then the tobagganing was cancelled, kinda hard to sled on the GRASS!!! The tree burning still went on but it was a mess, instead of snow, we had tons of mud! But we now have some snow finally! I would love to share a picture with you but....my daughters friend dropped my digital camera :screams: :screams: :screams: :screams: :screams: Good to see some of you enjoying the snow!

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... We very rarely get snow, grumble, grumble, but eldest daughter is off to New York with college for a few days week after next so she should at least have a good chance of seeing some

---

BoxerMad 18:10:58 Thu Mar 2 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... WE GOT SNOW TODAY!!!! Though it wasn't the cold icy outdoor type......... Tia,Kirei and Henry decided to destroy the sleeping bag that was their bed and when i got in from work there was white stuffing all up the stairs and across the landing. It really did look as if it had been snowing indoors!! No real snow for us however - a friend at work told me it was snowing and when i went to the window five minutes later the sun was shining! Either she was telling fibs or it was the quickest snow shower ever. There was a thick frost on the car windscreen this morning and our weather reports say we may get snow this evening or overnight although it is so rare for it to actually settle here. I am so jealous of all you lot with your snow

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Nice one Caroline!! Well we still have that smattering of snow, but it has finally done its job as far as the children are concerned .......... the schools are closed today! More snow on the way apparently, possibly even into next week. Nicki I can't believe you don't have snow - you were supposed to be the only one who was guaranteed to have it!!!

Jakes_mum 11:58:45 Fri Mar 3 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Hi Helen, im waving like mad!!!!! Are you on the Isle of Man? Liz

Polo123 15:56:14 Fri Mar 3 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... OMG - we actually had some snow today Hubby took Polo out while I was at work & it was snowing big style, he had an absolute whale of a time :roundnround: been having snow showers on & off since about half eleven

---

NickiG 20:48:46 Fri Mar 3 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... I know!!! Its not fair! At least we have some snow right now, it is going pretty fast though! And you can still see some of the longer grass through the snow so its not deep at all! Just not fair!!! We have had 2 small snow falls in February and that has been the most snow we have had all winter!!:screams: :screams: :screams: :screams: :screams: :screams:

---

BoxerMad 19:00:55 Sat Mar 4 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Still no real snow for us. Although when we let the parrot out of his cage and he has a good old flap of his wings we get tiny little white feathers everywhere - so a mini snow shower indoors ..... yet again!!!! The weather reports are saying that it should start warming up soon so it doesn't look like we are going to get any!!!

---

SashasMum 20:51:36 Sat Mar 4 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Blizzards on and off all day, but nothing settled. My daughter built herself this snowman today, but she used the sled to import snow from all the surrounding areas as we had no snow in the garden!! Suppose that's our lot til next winter now

---

Polo123 12:55:11 Sun Mar 5 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... My daughter and her friends tried to make a snowman on Friday, but soon gave up as Polo kept pouncing on the snowballs as they tried rolling them :smash:

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Hi Liz Nope, we are in Ireland! Nth Ireland [North Down] - its a peninsula that sits out [like a number seven almost]. Helen

SashasMum 20:44:45 Sun Mar 12 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now it's definitely not fair!! Bet Jill got another load too - I blame her for my lack of snow. Aberdeen seems to get Lossie's share these days!

jilldemo 22:04:30 Sun Mar 12 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... It has snowed all day, but it is not lying. Very cold wind though.

---

NickiG 00:06:34 Mon Mar 13 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... This is crazy! We lost our little bit of snow that we had got and it not only is NOT snowing here.....but it has been warm! It feels like spring!! We have switched to our spring coats or sweaters for the last few days!!!

---

SashasMum 07:49:31 Mon Mar 13 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... Makes you think a bit more about this global warming doesn't it Nicki! There's places like you that aren't getting their fair share of snow and then in Russia they have had the worst snow in decades - it's all a bit messed up!

---

Polo123 20:48:58 Mon Mar 13 2006

Re: 80% Chance of Snow .... I know what you mean Nikki, our eldest daughter has just gone to New York for a few days with her college course, we kitted her out with plenty of warm clothes, thermals etc, checked the weather earlier & it's 16-18°C, typical. She wasn't at all impressed when she woke up Sunday morning to find a good couple of inches had fallen overnight - at least most of it had cleared by this morning & her flight wasn't delayed
