SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[erastes]

I know that a lot of my American friends are sick of the sight of it, but this is the first snow we've had this year. and it's blizzarding!  So hard that my dad and I have agreed that it's best if I don't go over there today, which is a shame as I had a lovely duck and game chips thing planned so that will have to wait till tomorrow.

Lili, for one, is disgusted and is welded to the radiator. The boys went out to play but got too cold so came back in for breakfast with pink ears and noses. So sweet! (and freezing feet!)

One of my guilty pleasures is on this afternoon "The Slipper and the Rose" which is a cup-a-soup, blanket over the knees, singalong fest! Just LOVE it.

Give me some snow here. I saw some bugs around here, and I am like freaking out. I want my freezing weather back, so no bugs are alive!

OMG I love the Slipper and the Rose, it was shown all the time on TV when I was growing up..now I have to see if I can catch it on TCM once in a while.

Enjoy the snow!! but man I didn't think you guys ever got any in March. Also better you than me:D

Hey, enjoy it! We're melted down to 3-foot snowbanks -- and it's going on APRIL and I want to get my garden started. But snow is fun in reasonable doses. Hope it lasts just as long as you want.

I'm glad you're enjoying it. :-) We're getting snow again today after having a couple of weeks of nice "warm" weather... so everyone is groaning about it.

GAH!!!! NO SNOW! :P

Seriously, glad you like it, but OMG, we got stranded in a blizzard during a layover in Detroit on Friday, so I am NOT loving snow at the moment. Stuck in an airport that was little better than a bus station for hours because of miserable frozen water really sort of ruined me for the stuff. ;)

*Sniff* No snow. Got a couple of lost flocks yesterday but that was about it. Think the snow is falling in the western part of our country.
Damn. LOVE snow!

It really just goes to show the moment I fly home, it snows in England. ;)

Snow. Huh. We had about five minutes of it yesterday, and by the time I'd admired it, and thought about getting a photo and found the camera ... it had stopped. Bah.

It may have tried again overnight, because when I went up to the paper shop this morning there were occasional bits of icy slush on a few gardens and walls. Otherwise, all we've had is cold drizzle.

Bah, I say again!

ah, snow...

Enjoy it, it's going to be about 85F here, and although Easter should be spring, I can't help but feel that Christmas should be winter and it just never is, where I live. It's hard to stuff a turkey and roast it if it's a sunny 85 out.

Slipper and the Rose? So charmingly 70s, m'dear - enjoy!

I never miss it and it always makes me blub.

Re: ah, snow...

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Oh bliss. Although that's a bit hot for me, too!!

It's all gone now, but at least I had ONE snowy morning to wake up too!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

well, only briefly! :)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you'll get some soon! *hopes for you*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think you can have too much of it .. but it's so rare here now, it's very annoying!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

It's flipping cold though, and I hate being cold

All gone now. *sniff*

The worst snow I remember recently was April, so it's never too late. Slipper and Rose was wonderful as usual.

"Rainbows raced around the room when he danced with meeeeeee....."

Yes, cold is good for bugs, here's hoping this cold spell kills them off!

My sister felt the need to text me about the snow last night - the UK is obviously excitable at present. Also, you sound happy, so yay!

[enolabloodygay.livejournal.com]

We had the usual half a dozen flakes in Poole yesterday - by the time Tom noticed there was snow and told me about it, it had stopped!

Lucky you having it at all.

Hope it is all gone and Spring is there when I go camping in Norfolk next weekend otherwise I am not crawling out from under my two duvets until the pub opens!

Hot? Mmmm, deary me, that is merely our lovely walking-weather prelude to the mosquitoes, that's spring here.
Now, hot is when you're baking the oaks on taproots a hundred feet deep until they wilt and it's been 110 effing degrees for two weeks solid.
As with snow, it is entirely possible to have Too Much of A Good Thing.

We had one year about a decade ago when it was over 100 degrees F for every day of six weeks. (Airplane tires were starting to have issues.) No, not looking forward to rapid rise from global weather instability!

Now, some other Mericans round here would call me a total wuss, because it's a dry heat. Usually around 30 per cent humidity when that kinda heat is going on. They say things like, "Now try that when it's 80 or 90 per cent humidity!" (As in Arizona monsoon season. Blearggh!)

Just say no, please...

And no, I have no idea why I'm working here, instead of living in a decent place with Brit-style gardens and lots of good bookstores and a decent music scene and lots of pointy trees, like Seattle or Vancouver or something.

Snow? Wish I had some. :( It used to get cold enough to snow here, but hardly at all now.

Sorry you didn't get to see your dad, but hope you enjoyed the snow!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I'm worried about today now! We had four inches overnight and it's still blizzarding!!! I'm going to risk it, though.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I'm snowed in!!!! And none of my stupid phones or cameras work!!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we love snow as a nation, it's rare enough these days!

It's even deeper today! yay!
