Snow already out here tonight so it's going be a bit hairy on most high ground in Sheffield tomorrow morning :)

You do live in Bradfield, what else do you expect.
Its the norm out there isn't it.

I just got to my car in city centre and it had snow on it!!!!:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

It was ? Shows how much attention I pay, I thought it was a passing shower looking out of my window.

Nothing here in Stannington- looks as if I'm at college tomorrow morning :(

Was snowing loads in Crosspool about 8.30/9pm.

Are you mad ? :loopy:

If it snows at Crookes it had better be before I go to work because I am not walking back up the hill when I get the car stuck at work!

Yes :suspect: Your next question ?

I want snow, I didn't get any in Ranmoor and I've had a pitiful amount when I lived on the Cross and now Im on the hills I demand a least a little bit! :P

Sheffield gets an inch of snow and grinds to a standstill then everyone starts moaning. Well I'm going to beat them to it
Moan, moan, moan, moan, I hate snow, I hate the cold, I hate shovelling snow, I hate leaving the house with snow on the ground, I hate shopping, going to friends, going to the pub when it snows, I hate sledging, skating, curling and skiing, if i could be an animal I'd be a grizzly bear then I could hibernate and miss the snowy period fort the most part, hope this get's my point across.

Ooooohhhh!!! When/where did you try this WB? It's not easy to come by :)

I hate snow you can't ski on. :mad: So that's pretty much all English snow. Most of sheffield's hills don't have ski lifts on. When is Howard St getting one?

I suppose a day ticket for the tram would be handy for City Rd :hihi: All the way down to Park Square!!

greybeard - it snows in Bradfield when its 15 degrees in loxley:D

I don't have to try things to know I'd hate them, I've seen it on thre television and they do it on nasty icy slippy stuff, that's all I need to know. I do remember a few years ago some idiot on the news program Calendar who lived at Ranmoor and did some cross country skiing to get to work, he looked a complete and utter prat..

Only if it's made of wood and I fancy an open fire.
When the kids use my side of the road as a sledging run I am SO tempted.

It's snowing!:D

Enjoy :thumbsup:

Btw- my college class is cancelled, :rant: I was the only one there (no teacher).

I've got some work to do though :(

Well had a couple of inches up in x-pool. Out with camera later today!

Hate the stuff when it comes to driving - mainly as main roads are blocked, and not sure if they've gritted yet.

They are forcasting more for later today tho- don't despair!!!

Yay !
I love snow.
Meersbrook park, several assorted nieces and nephews, a foot of snow and a sledge is all you need for a great afternoon out.

Yeah, it comes over the hill where Shirecliffe college used to be, and then the city centre buildings start to dissapear, and you know you've got about 5 minutes before it gets to you.

:clap:

just wish it would keep on all day so I don't go have to go into work tomorrow!

We're just drinking the hot chocolates after having been out with the kids and dog.
That wind is k-k-k-cold and the snow is coming wet & heavy.

I think we've had our fun for the day.

Every couple of minutes I think - the image should be time stamped if you look closely.

It's raining here in Derby. From the traffic cameras it looks like it is also raining in Sheffield. Now watch all that surface water freeze over into ice as soon as it goes dark tonight...
