let it snow..let it snow
« on: November 30, 2010, 12:23:53 PM »
No not in Kalkan but in the UK. How is everyone coping with the snow at the moment? It's not too bad in Stockport where we live but Oldham (where I work) is a different story - about 2 feet if not more ! It all looks very pretty but a nightmare to travel in  :o

Another snow shower in South Wales this morning, topping up what's still lingering around from Friday here on the hills. Bitterly cold but can't really complain, just grateful to have a warm home and plenty of food in the cupboard. If you're out and about guys be extra careful on those slippery roads and pavements  :o.

Blizzard conditions for St Andrews day up here in Scotland. All local schools closed and people being sent home from work early( those who managed to get to work )
Been snowing it seems non stop for days now and I'm fed up with it already. It looks lovely but driving is a nightmare >:(

Thick snow where we are in North Wales, but nothing of any note in Liverpool where I work...a dusting at best. Snowed on Friday and snow has gone on top of frozen snow everyday since...we're kinda used to it  :(  and already fed up of it too, like itstime. Snow shovels and a grit sharing scheme amongst the neighbours is what generally gets us through.
Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt :)

Came heavy in the night here in Holmfirth although main roads are now clear but now freezing cold so could be icy tomorrow. Looks very nice through the window but not so good to be out in!! Sunny Kalkan seems a long way off!!

Absolutely! it really is scary stuff. Lost count of the cars I saw today skidding all over the place :o
All my time at work this morning was trying to arrange alternatives to "meals on wheels" for local older people as the vans couldn't get round to deliver and the school kitchens where a lot of the meals are prepared were closed.
It does indeed look very pretty but is so dangerous to drive in or indeed to try and walk anywhere :(
Little sign of the roads being properly gritted as even major roads are covered in snow. I live in the central belt of Scotland and have never seen it so bad before. Temperatures tonight predicted to go down to -12 here and much lower further North :o
Could Kalkan please send over some sunshine :)

We had a dusting last night of about 1 inch.....nearly all gone now ..but why do drivers turn into Plebs when it snows?coming back home from work on M27 this morning...Overhead Electronic boards warning of conditions and ice etc..Sp limit of 40 mph and the busiest lane is the outside lane!! with these herberts doing 70 plus!!   and they pull in infront of those of us who have left a braking distance! if you are going to prang your car please do it away from me""" Grrrr.... Grrr...gnashing teeth Grrrr!!! >:(

Trying to drive out of my quiet street in Nottingham (6/8 inches of snow), I mistook my car for a ice skater in the Olympics!  :o Drive safely everyone!

The snow has finally reached Brighton today - it's really coming down at the moment and looks beautiful:)  There's wierd lightning in the sky too, an amazing sight.
Oops, just been told that the 'lightning' is from the railway line....
Actually, it could be lightning!

Beautıful day ın Kalkan and surroundıng areas yesterday!!
Left Kalkan ın the mornıng wıth the sun shınıng and dressed ın t-shırt,cotton trousers (short) and flıpflops for short bus rıde along the coast to Kas.Then over on the boat to Meıs.Sea was wonderfully calm and twınklıng ın the strong sunlıght.Lovely stroll around and sat on a bench by the harboursıde drınkıng water to cool us,then back on the boat to Kas and a pıcnıc (yummy treats from Greece!!) on the rocks overlookıng the sea.
Snow seems only a dıstant memory!!!!

Hi All,
No snow here in balmy Helen's Bay, N. Ireland. 2deg., sunny  and no iced up windows to clear even. Looks bad for tomorrow, so will have to bring the sun loungers in!
