Ron Brind Posts: 19041 Joined: 26th Oct 2003 Location: England | Posted at 20:27 on 15th December 2010 We are expecting heavy snowfall throughout the UK from tonight onwards, although according to the News and Weather information Oxford may not be hit too hard! |
Ted  Posts: 733 Joined: 14th Jan 2009 Location: Netherlands | Posted at 08:54 on 17th December 2010 Heavy snow fall over here at the moment. expectations is more than 4 inch of snow. Went to my work this morning (10 Km that normaly a less then 20 minutes drive) but turned back after 4 Km that took me more then one hour. Total gridlock. So now unexpected an extra day of. |

The roads are like sheets of ice here in Wheatley, Oxford. Although we in Wheatley have not had the heavy snow, we can expect it tonight apparently. Roll on summer! Lol.....No!! It's not funny so how about NINF? See....No It's Not Funny! That's the power of POE.....NINF! |

We have had 7 inches of snow since 09:00 hrs today and it is forecast to keep falling until about 20:00 hrs tonight! So the weather forecast was right for once! |

No Beth, those two pictures were taken in Old Road, Wheatley, Oxfordshire, England on January 21st 1963. |
| Ted Posts: 733 Joined: 14th Jan 2009 Location: Netherlands | Posted at 09:23 on 19th December 2010 More then 7 inches of snow and more to come, according to the forecast. Maybe a white christmas? Thats very rare overhere. Our modern society is not geared for this extreme kind of weather. All public transport is almost stopped. No trains, plains or busses. |
| Beth Austin Posts: 1090 Joined: 14th Sep 2007 Location: UK | Posted at 09:41 on 19th December 2010 At this point this morning, we have a light dusting of snow but temps that will allow it to stay. We are due for less snow and more ice with frigid temps up here in northeast...so will get challenging for walking, let alone driving. We used to say things like : Get the women and children off the sidewalks...lol....as we watched those new drivers trying to make their way down the roads. We used to have this game where we would watch drivers and grade them in 1 of 3 categories....(1) New drivers...anything goes (2) Experienced drivers....those who drove with caution and (3) Fools...those who drove forward at any speed and ended up on sidewalks, in a roadway ditch, or caused everyone else on the road to move over and let them by...and wish them well LOL..... Because Wisconsin has such wicked winters, those of us who got our driver's license during our senior school years, we were allowed to drive on that license during spring-fall BUT we had to do an on-the-road driving test in the winter months so we could show how we would drive in the winter months as snow was inevitable in Wisconsin as well as neighbouring states. Was a good idea then, altho, as I was a teen then, I thought it was unfair LOL....typical teen attitude ...am glad I can drive in rough winter months tho...thanks to my teachers for that...gave my parents white hair during those years tho lol... |
