Hahaha

I will get some pictures of our house soon, we're almost snowed in! :doh:

I was extremely suprised when our Head Teacher decided to close the school...Usually we are the last school to close when something like this happens! ::)

Sucks, my school never gets canceled due to snow. It did get canceled once though, the entire state was in a blackout for about 5 days.

Sadly I live in a building at my school, the college home and college itself are connected together, so no matter how much snow there is, we always get to go to school. Anyway, glad for you, always nice with a day or two off.

This is what is happening in Bebington, Wirral right now. Our local council is running out of salt for the roads, so probably everything will come to a grinding halt very soon. :doh:

Supposed to get a bit of snow over night here, I'll have to see what it looks like in the morning. Fingers crossed no school!

AA, the reason why everything grinds to a halt with a few inches of snow here is because we don't normally get it bad. last time we had a fair bit of snow was March 2009, that was 18 inches. We might of had snow before but hell we are crap dealing with it
Title: Re: SCHOOLS OUT!
Post by: IRI5HJ4CK on January 05, 2010, 18:36:00
Yeah, the forecast is the same for us here...Aperently the weather for the next two weeks is to be bad.. :doh:

Post by: McGherkin on January 05, 2010, 19:29:02
There are three reasons for my school closing normally:
1. snow
2. temperature in the classrooms falling below 160C due to boiler failure
3. Fire/Plague.

By the looks of it, school will be closed tomorrow due to reason 1.

Weirdly, I'll be sad if it is, it's the best day of my week in terms of lessons:

Lesson 1+2 at a different school doing engineering
break
Lesson 3 assembly
lunch
Lesson 4+5 PE (Duke of Edinburgh training, otherwise known as walking round a rugby pitch or five for 2 hours straight for your Queen and Country...)

No, there has been massive snowfall on britain. We can't get to school...
Title: Re: SCHOOLS OUT!
Post by: IRI5HJ4CK on January 08, 2010, 08:43:15
Yeah, the UK is so small that it has been snowed in, virtually 8)

However...The problem is that most of the snow has turned into Black Ice, which is deadly with the cars on the road and people walking on the pavement...

Post by: jammydodger on January 08, 2010, 11:19:18
And I get another day off school. So that's 3 days off this week, one was still school holidays, and two for snow.
How about it? MY bus was the ONLY bus not running!  :o Lucky me!
And I got my ethernet device sorted on my old computer, which I've wanted to do for ages! Two good things and it's only 20 past ten!  ;D

Jack, I figured the UK was atleast 1/3 the size of the US.

Just look it up. It is only a little bigger then the State of Washington that I am in right now.

That just seems small. You can drive from one side of the country to the other in a day...

Mine's a private one.
And my school is miles away. I live in a village in the middle of nowhere, the roads are covered in ice....  I have seen seven cars on the road this morning. Two of those were jammed together.  :(
