Batton down the hatches

[bobmac]

Tomorrow night promises heavy snowfall where I am so you can bet come Monday, Tesco shelves will be empty, roads will be death traps and schools will be closed.
And don't forget the weather boys and girls reminding us to wrap up warm if you're going out oo:
Really?

No golf here on Sunday

Love waking up to fresh snowfall. One of the most beautiful sights you can see. A pain if you have to go anywhere, I admit.

Dry & chilly on sunday 13 holes last round of the winter league .. No snow in the Emerald Isle..

I'm supposed to be playing on Sunday...I'm 75% sure that I won't be...

I do like the snow though - an opportunity to be a kid again...

It makes my Missus hesitate too

Forecast here at about 1600, I'm off at 0812 so should be back in time! Glad I don't work anymore and have to argue with 20 drivers to get the hell out of the yard, it's only a bit of snow!

 

[Lanark_Golfer]

Hope it doesn't hit up North, I've an appointment with Craighead Links at Crail on Sunday morning. :mmm:

 

[Basher]

We're forecast to get it for 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Will be at the footie, which kicks off at ....................... 3 o'clock in the afternoon!!!

Absolutely spiffing!

You can get arrested for that! .

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Got a lesson booked for 2.15 tommorow afternoon and that should be OK and I should be good for a bucket or two after. Think working on it Sunday might be out of the question. You'd think with it snowing at the weekend it'll give the road people and train operators plenty of chance to get things sorted for Monday morning - Yeah right

 

[Iaing]

Not too bad a forecast for the weekend in the West of Scotland. A positively balmy 5 degrees, sunny and no wind forecast for Sunday. :ears:

Nice to see the south getting it for a wee change. :rofl:

Well it's been nice knowing you guys down there. Given the apocalyptic reports on the tv news and weather this morning, it's looking like the end of the world is nigh.

Amazing what the threat of a light dusting of snow can do

I can only think we get a different quality of snow and ice in the south that makes it tougher - I remember last year we had an item on Look East (BBC East Anglia) on the disruption and the outside broadcast team were in Luton or similar commenting on how some people couldn't get their cars out of their drives because of the ice. It must have been really bad as the car they were filming next to in the housing estate was a long wheelbase Mitsubishi Shogun.

I never had that problem driving in the snow in my old Anglia van when I was at Uni in Durham.

 

[DappaDonDave]

No snow in the blackpool area...

 

[grumpyjock]

Non in bradford, have my snow chains-shovel and wellie boots in the boot of the car.
never been stuck yet, just trapped behind idiotic drivers who cant drive in the conditions.

 

[GB72]

No snow here but the freezing conditions were enough to shut the course this morning. Cannot say that I was too upset to be sat in the warm with bacon sarnie, fresh coffee and watching the cricket.
