Who else has had snow? Or is it just in England, I only had a one day week at school this week

, 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 have had a little, school never got canceled though, until the snow melted...

Slide

Dozer uncovered the sign that goes over the freeway

I wonder if they really needed those signs...

Blower clearing I-90

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

Aftermath

The most snow I had here was maybe a layer of 5cm

Jackobaker53 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 07, 2009, 12:44:41 »

Most of the snows melted over night where I live, but its supposed to snow even more on Monday, another snow day!!!

Piccies from here from earlier this week.

The snow lasted about an hour and then melted. Beautiful blue skies here today.

Isn't it amazing how a little bit of snow turns a country upside down...

JHB · « **Reply #13 on:** February 07, 2009, 18:16:08 »

How much snow was it?

TerryRussell · « **Reply #16 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).

TerryRussell · « **Reply #20 on:** February 09, 2009, 18:15:16 »

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 got an inch of snow last night, wasn't in the forecast.

Will be fun on my ATV.

Jackobaker53 · « **Reply #23 on:** February 09, 2009, 19:47:37 »

Paddy134 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 09, 2009, 19:50:41 »

I hope we don't get anymore snow. I am sick of it after last week, plus i'm going on a trip to the National assembly wednesday and thursday and i'd hate to miss that.
