Title: Snow!!!
Post by: Jackobaker53 on February 07, 2009, 02:19:15
Who else has had snow? Or is it just in England, I only had a one day week at school this week  ;D, a whole week of sledging hehe. But was nearly killed today because of a truck that came past me on a corner on the icy road, and the trailer swung towards me, luckily didn't swing enough to hit me.

I wonder if they really needed those signs...

We had to use an excavator to get the snow under 8ft so the blower could eat it.

How much snow was it?
Title: Re: Snow!!!
Post by: TerryRussell on February 07, 2009, 23:42:48
It only takes three snowflakes in the UK for everything to grind to a halt.

Here in Selsey, the snow had melted within a hour or two. So the local schools were shut most of the week.  ???

We get like 2 feet of snow and they don't cancel school.

Our school started a facebook group to tell us whether school was off, so of course when they said it was open everyone said they weren't going to school from it, and then they close the school  :). If it was closed on Wednesday, I would have had a 9 day weekend (including the weekend before). The one thing I hate about snow is the gritting lorries, they spray grit all over you like hail, I'd much prefer snow ploughs

Heh...heh, must be something.

Where I live in Ontario, we get a lot of snow.  In fact, there's so much that the budget for snow removial has gone over (it's costing Gravenhurst thousands of dollars).

I was in Ontario at the end of October/early November. I left just as the snow started. You do get a lot there, don't you?

Here, we are now getting flooded. I just drve back from my offices and went through a lot of floods. Some of them are getting a few feet deep now.

We are suppose to get another 6 inches tonight, my ATV stops working then, since it is 2WD (really wants 4x4 Shaft)

How can it be an ATV if it's only 2WD?  Wouldn't that make it an STV?  :P

Of course we do, here in Gravenhurst.  Currently, we're getting a warmspell from Centeral Canada with freezing rain (yesterday) and rain today.  But it's going to cool down again.
