Paul Hilton Posts: 2605 Joined: 21st Nov 2004 Location: UK | Posted at 16:45 on 5th January 2010 Well Beth, they certainly have seemed to become extinct in Berkshire! In 30 mins, the landscape has just turned from green to white and it's only just started. |

Ron Brind Posts: 19041 Joined: 26th Oct 2003 Location: England | Posted at 19:02 on 5th January 2010 BBC News is telling us here in Oxford that its the worst for 30 years Paul and to expect upto 40cm of snow by tomorrow morning! Yuck!!! |
Paul Hilton Posts: 2605 Joined: 21st Nov 2004 Location: UK | Posted at 20:39 on 5th January 2010 It's equalled anything I've seen here in Berkshire in 32 years, and certainly never seen 40cm ---16 inches---in 40. The last time I saw that was winter of 1968, and that was in Manitoba-----slightly west of Oxford! Gotta run---the sled dogs getting ready to go in the back yard! |

Still waiting for them to announce school clusures today - I hope they are shut - took me an hour & a half to bring back my boys and my friends girls yesterday - they picked up a snowball every 2 seconds! Terry has walked to work - hope he will be OK- he is still not right after the op. The snow is too deep to drive up our road - my neighbour is trying to get up there now! |

Transport, schools, work patterns all affected. Strange, when we had this sort of weather 'years ago' we still went to school, the roads were 'gritted' rather than salted and when we got home from school we picked up the shovel. Chains were available and carried in vehicles as the norm and life carried on! What happened, what a load of whimps we are? |
