Snow

[Tiz]

Buses were running okay so made it in plenty of time to the Cameo - did you get there Tiz?

No such luck Biggins - cleared 8" deep snow off the car at 9.30am, but by the time I'd finished it had started snowing heavily again - what's that they say about painting the Forth Bridge

I'm jealous you made it in You are a trooper!

Biggins is a sooper trooper

didn't make it to the Cameo either Tiz. Snow is lovely to look at when you dont have to go out

Yeah, it was pretty slippy coming from Inverleith up through the New Town. It was much better by 1 when it finished though! I see more snow for tomorrow!

I want snow!!!!

We should be getting it Monday night !!! God I am so jealous of the counties that have snow ! (I know they are not) My aunt in Middlesbrough is sick of the sight of it and she did offer for DHL to package up some snow to send us some down here !

I hope so, I'm such a big kid, can't wait to make snowmen, have even got a few pairs of latex gloves from work at the ready to go over the kids gloves so the snow doesn't soak through to quick and we can stay out longer!!

My grandfathers family are all from County Durham and tell stories of how much snow they got, my great aunt is 87 and now down here too, even in all that bad snow last year made a point of going over the shop for her paper even though we all volunteered saying 'this is nothing, when I was up north.......' lol

Another big overnight fall up here taking it to about a foot deep.

After missing yesterday's screening at the Cameo Edinburgh, it's looking likely the same fate awaits tomorrow's screening of The Next Three Days at Ocean Terminal.

Due to see Narnia on 4/12 and Catfish on 14/12 - call me a pessimist but I'm not printing the tickets until the last minute!

Back home - 14 miles round trip has taken over 2 hours - just too dangerous to go on, so turned round, and phoned in. I have been cleared the path to the front door, and it's now snowing again.

However, I'm going to put the day to good use - plenty of cards left to write!

[Spanner]

I made it in by 7.30am and so did most of my team. I was dead proud of em, though to be fair, they did say that the thought of phoning to ask me for a day off was worse than crashing or getting stranded - only right, I say - ha. I got sent home as the heating was off, which I was pretty annoyed at, I told the big bosses that the staff would soon warm up if they worked a little faster, seemed to be a lot of people crying in the tea point after that, can't imagine why.

Anyway has anyone else had thundersnow??? we had some last night and first thing this morning it was the most intense noise and light I have ever seen, just mental.

love Scrooge x

I'd never heard of thunder snow until a friend mentioned it today. I did hear that it put police phone lines down somewhere in Scotland.

Good on you for treking into work, so many people use it as an excuse these days. I don't recall schools closing when I was a kid and teachers always turned up no matter how far they had to travel. When I worked in Civil Service you were expected to go to nearest office if your own was too far.
