Snow, Snow & more Snow

Just as you think it's all over, it comes back with a vengeance, SNOW i'm starting to get sick and tired of constantly trudging through snow everytime i go out, not being able to use the car cause it's snowed in and the roads are that bad you canny drive on them anyways
is it no about time it gave us a bloomin break, 4 weeks of snow is way beyond a joke with only a 2 days that it's not snowed and i woke up this morning to a complete white out again, this weather is getting so unreal, i've never known snow to lie and last as long as this has before

I know what your saying Ali, i loved it at first, but roll on summer and dry streets!

Just thinking the same Ali - we as you know are right on the coast and normally it goes in a day or so but this time its lay for 4 weeks - letal as well - i cant manage to take my two out as one pull or a cat and id be on me well you know lol - so they have been in the garden just running round until the weekend when the OH can take them out with me.

Once your off our estate the roads are ok the main ones - but thats the problem getting off the estate its like an ice rink and id rather not bother - not driven since last Tuesday got OH to take me shopping today - and Oh boy didnt he love it lol

They say another 10 days of this -

can't drive cars 'cause of snow

Yup that's right lenore , the snow isn't getting cleared off the streets cause of the shortage of sand/salt to put down on them so the snow is lying turning into ice with the freezing temperatures , more thick snow falling on top and again turning into more impact ice and it's making the roads treacherous, the wheels of our cars can't get a grip on them so it's a total nightmare to try and drive on

Really bad here too...takes the piss!! dogs enjoy it though lol..

must admit role on summer

-3 here god help where its -15+ in places lol... where dreading the gas bill lol

Us, living in a small town, are lucky if we get ANY roads gritted. The main road thru town, a dual carridge way is like an ice rink!

Other night it was minus 15, but that was in a tunnel with cold steel/wind too, at the OHs work!

Ive not fallen in it yet, its when it turns to proper ice it gets scary! My mum fell over twice yesterday tho when she came for a walk with me and dogs...

We had -12 the other night and like everyone else ye i'm dreading the gas bills
I fell out the back when i was out with the dogs, the steps were like pure ice, dogs ran towards me and i tried to get out the way in case they ran into me but they ran past towards emma who was standing at the back door watching, i thought she was gonna wet herself laughing at me and as soon as i got up she ran into the house to tell fred and the boys about me falling so when i got in they were all laughing, just as well i didny hurt myself

well what was I saying! Weve had rain for the last few hours, washed a load away but ice is next!

Im on PP for gas and using between £40 and £50 a week!

We've not had any rain yet, we had another load of heavy snow through the night again. i pay £75 a month DD for my gas but that probably wilny cover it with the amount of gas we've went through to try and heat this place up
I hate the thought of it all freezing over, it's gonna be a bloomin nightmare

my heating is on all the time too, but we cant just have it ticking over, my OH says its gotta be whacked up for the kids.... more like him

Even at night its on like 15c! Then he wonders why I come down when his asleep and turn it right down!

Now most of the snow/slush as gone off the roads near me... the roads are worse than ever before. All the repairs that have been done on the roads in the last 12-18 months have popped out so there are pot holes EVERYWHERE!

Same here toni, the snow has started to melt now and we're left with big gaping pot holes on the roads

I hate bleeding snow! Was clearing up here on Sunday, still a bit icy but we thought everything was getting back to normal, heating broke down at daughters school on Monday, no work for me, which is ok but I really needed to get after taking 2 days of last week cause the schools were closed. Got up this morning and we are covered in the stuff again! Sons school closed, had to drag him into work with me, took us 2.5hrs! It will probably freeze over tonight and we will be back to square one. Oh the joys!

Weve had no snow for two weeks i think but last night it came down thick and fast - started about 11.30 and 6 inches fell - it was gorgeous this morning but i do hate the stuff - have took some pics just uploading as i type -

Toni have you got a bloody gas leak lol - i pay £75 a month by DD same as Ali - ive got a new boiler one of those condensing things - heating on at 15 all the time house warm all the time just flick it higher if you want it higher - when the snow was down for weeks we had heating on all night - not that i like it like that but Oh is a cold arse lol - i would have your gas checked out thats way too much -

The snow seems to of missed us out this time thank gawd, don't think i could handle any more of the white stuff lol but it's so bloody cold up here, the house seems to be freezing even with the heating on just now

a little frosty here the last 2 days, hope it doesnt come back here.

Seeing what u and Kazzy said, Susan, i think were being charged too much.

This week ive put on £30, but its not been as cold - and £8 was deducted for my outstanding £400 last winter bill .

I will check my quartley bill when it comes in Febuary, see what its on compared to the n-power site.

I would do that monthly payment thingy but when it gets to summer i like putting £20 on a month

Haven't seen any snow in about 4 yrs now
