~Kes~ Â Â 10 #2534 Posted January 9, 2010 There was some really heavy snow coming down about an hour ago. Stopped though when I last looked out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Rupert_Baehr   10 #2535 Posted January 9, 2010 Sounds like a job opportunity, Kes.  Perhaps the council could employ you as a 'snow warden'? - If you can make it stop snowing, you could save them a fortune in gritting costs. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Rupert_Baehr   10 #2539 Posted January 9, 2010 Kes, if you like snow come and visit.  We had our first snowfall (In the village) on 14 October ... a bit early - wouldn't normally expect snow until mid-November and then there would be a few warm days before Christmas.  We had our first 'warm spell' (a hot Christmas! - +7) but we#re now back to cooler weather.  Not much snowfall this week (that'll change next week, no doubt) and we'll have snow until the end of April ... could be the first end, or could be the last end - we'll find out when nearer the date.  It's winter. It snows. And the tourists come and fall off the mountains (breaking limbs various, which keeps the rescue services and hospitals busy.)  In summer, it doesn't snow down here (but it still does snow at the top of the mountains) and the tourists fall off the mountains on foot (or on mountain bikes) which means that there's plenty of work for the rescue helicopters and hospitals then, too.)  We try to provide tourist services all year round.

Perhaps I shouldn't praise the snow too much. Or maybe appreciate it's a rarity here really! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
