Woke up this morning and it was sunny =( but when my Dad left for work this morning, it was -9! So everything that's been trodden on has completly frozen over but the untouched stuff is alright. Apparently we're due for some more tonight, Saturday and Sunday and possibly Monday. When it's frozen around my area, it turns into a ice rink. That may sound cool, but it's not, when you have to clean the path up, so you don't slip, or trying to catch the bus in the morning. The best thing to come out of it, is watching the cars, trying to reverse out, and set off. It's half an hour of entertainment, worth missing the bus for.

My school is making Years 10-13 come in tomorrow and they're going to set work for the other years to do online, which obviously won't get done!
I'm seriously so pissed right now, it's absolute mayhem on Facebook trying to arrange how we're all getting into school and what's happening. We have no idea what the hell is going on and I'm pretty sure we're having to spend the whole day there.
And we're being made to do lessons, which no one will turn up to. I've got a f***ing exam on Tuesday, I'd rather just sit in our school library and revise for that. At least I would get something out of the day. Urgh, it's not the fact that I'll be missing the snow, it's the fact I'll be forced to do work that is utterly pointless.
RAGE!!!

I dunno why people are so worked up about it. Even with the legendary uselessness of Southeast trains accounted for I got to work on-time, and got home on-time as well.

I dont mind snow but I wish this cold snap would end sharpish
Bloody sick of waiting 5 mins inside a freezing motor waiting for enough ice to clear for me to drive then when I finally move, feel like I'm driving on an ice rink half the time lol

Some silly arse decided to clear the path of snow yesterday and the ground froze over last night and froze clearly. I walk on what I thought was dry ground only to f*** over like a right twat. And the snow we were due to be getting Sunday isn't supposed to be as bad as what they first thought, but apparently it's highly likely we'll be kept off school Monday. EDIT: Totally just checked outside and it's snowing! I'm going out tomorrow and it's just been made even more likely I'm going to seriously injure myself. Hooray!

Snow is kind of like John Cena in a way. Hated by smart older smarks, beloved by school attending children.

4-5 inches? How will you survive?!??!?!?!
I had to call my corporate offices in Apharetta, Georgia yesterday and they closed it down because "Weather conditions were deleterious to travel" SO I checked the weather down there, they got 1½ inches of snow overnight. We got a foot here right before Christmas and I was happy it stopped there.
People make too big a deal out of snow, usually due to the weather on the news where the reporters are like "OMG SNOW, but eggs milk and bread NOW!!!!!! because you'll never be able to get them again!!!!" and then they act like when you can finally emerge from your home the world will look like Fallout 3.
Snows kinda fun, just slow down on the road and throw snowballs at friends.

I love that Americans think we are pussies with the snow, but we really never normally get it, but it seems the past week-2 weeks it has royally shit it down, so let us have our fun! Got about half a foot here in Ashford, tis fun, but walking to work is shit. College was shut Thurs & Fri, shut Monday as well, and it's due to snow heavy all weekend. To be fair it hasnt stopped heavily snowing since Thursday night so meh Another 7 inches due. Wahey

I went out today, it was bloody freezing but totally worth it. I took a few pictures, which I might post later if I can be bothered ^.^ me and a friend went to the duck ponds and walked through the woods which looked really beautiful in the snow. It snowed for about 20 minutes whilst we were out and I nearly fell over once. That's a record for me!

You mean bastards! Unfortunately my camera skills are shit, so no a photo of myself falling over was not taken. You'll have to wait for the next time it snows for that to happen.
