Snow!

Most definitely. I could still get to work unfortunately but it took an hour instead of 30 minutes.
I've cycled to work in it two days running...completely brilliant...it's still snowing now. Unfortunately it's not settling very well though. It's amazing how bushcraft can permeate your outlook, even on a bike, in the snow...I found myself looking at the tracks on the ground trying to count how many cyclists had hit the canal path before me and which were the earliest tracks! About eight cyclists I reckon...more than I'd expected, guess I'm not the only one who doesn't mind a bit of the old white stuff...
Starting to lose the edge of the kerbs here so will have to take it steady when I go to view a house later today. It will be fun getting up the slope from my fatory job at 8pm if the kids have been sliding on the paths. Knew I should have brought my crampons with me to norwich. :chill:
Kim thats cool Ive been riding in it too but I only spotted 5 riders in front of me judging by the tracks and the amount of snow fall at the time the we only 10/15 mins old.

theres about 3" here and still falling! :rolmao:
should i get my arctic gear out for a laugh? :roll:

It's bright and sunny here... it's nippy but not that cold and it rained yesterday. I hate this place. 
still blazzin sunshine here...
Don't know which part of Birmingham you're in Kim but in the part I'm in we've had a piffling small amount. I want to wake up to huge drifts and have a snow day. I could practise fire lighting on snow then.
Lol...well, I'm in the centre of Brum at the moment and it's stopped snowing and basically disappearing as if it was never here...grrr. In South Brum it looked lovely and snowy this morning, but you're right, still nowhere near enough to be classed as 'proper'. On the canal paths it always looks more snowy simply due to the fact that there aren't have as many people walking all over it!!!
:chill: At 7:30am in Balsall Common (home) it was still snowing and about 1" deep, by 9:30am in Walsall (work) it was melting away and non at all on the roads, what a difference 30 miles and 2 hours makes. :roll:
It snowed in Bristol for the first time this year. Wasn't enough to settle on the ground but the roofs of cars were white, and the downs this morning

I have a healthy fear of doing that. I'll ride in deep snow but wont go on roads where cars turn it into ice.
Awesome. I can see why you have a long haired dog!! ):
Having said that mine is a labrador, with short hair, but they were originaly bred for jumping in the icy waters of labraador to retrieve fish lost overboard. :super:

i managed to make a scale down version of a "Quinzee" just the right size for my 3 year old son!
it was just the right sticky snow for it earlier, now most is slushy but my shelter still stands, it is snowing at present and we are expecting a fair amount tonight.
i might try the fire lighting on snow if theres enough tomorrow
