The 2010-2011 Winter Snow Report Thread

I wanted snow, I got it!
It started coming down last night and still coming down 

Lucky you! 

Huh? I didn't even know there were earthquakes here. LOL. Certainly didn't feel anything here. Unless the earth was shaking from me laughing so hard at your Christmas card!  Too funny!! 

Glad you enjoyed it!  Happy Christmas!

Yep, I was really excited to have finally felt an earthquake when we had that one a year or more ago, whenever it was, and sad to have missed this recent one.  I had been around tornadoes most of my life (in Kansas) & near hurricanes (in Florida) but never an earthquake.

It happened in the night & I didn't realise that was what it was until the following morning when a woman mentioned it to me at the bus stop!  Then I was all  !!!

I thought it had just been a dream, but I remembered waking up in that half-sleeping, half-waking state & having the strangest sensation that the house was rolling, like the deck of a ship or something.  Then I felt the bed sort of jump at one corner & bang down again - which my rational mind said, no that's impossible because our bed frame is really heavy solid wood!    Neither DH nor I can even lift the thing without taking the mattress off & then just barely, and we were both in the bed at the time.

It really freaked me out, but I told myself that it must all have been a dream - until that woman mentioned it the next day.  DH slept through the whole thing & was none the wiser! 

It's been sleeting on & off here in Norfolk today.  Stuck inside & bored!

Heehee, I'd just sleep through that like it was normal!

I think that was the same one that woke my daughter up (in London) and she thought at first she was having a bad "turn"! So was relieved to discover eventually it was "only" an earthquake.
She experienced that bad one in Peru a few years back and at first their group didn't think much of it. The were in a taxi in Lima and thought it was just the driver but then noticed all these people were outside on the sidewalks and streets. There was some minor structural damage to their hotel rooms but otherwise all were safe.

It snowed!!! This is the first time we've had snow on Xmas in 17 years!! :-D

 Where?

 Where?

Tennessee.

Tennessee.

A friend did a two day (over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day) drive from Iowa to Florida and drove through Tennessee on her way.  I could not believe her photos when I saw snow down there!  Crazy!

It really started coming down hard on Christmas Eve and the roads were terrible. We were lucky we didn't have far to go.  We ended up with about an extra six inches on top of what we already had on the ground.  Made for a gorgeous day yesterday.

Starting to snow again up here. Kind of a mix of snow and rain, though. Seems the ice is thawing out, but the snow is coming down! Yesterday, I slipped on the ice and busted my knee open. At least today is less slippery!

Same here...the bit that we have on the ground is melting (as well as the ice), but there are random flakes in the raindrops...so we'll see what the rest of the day brings.

Hope your knee isn't too poorly J.

We had snow here this morning - great big fluffy white flakes.  It stopped before noon though.  (Back in Yorkshire again!    There's no place like home, there's no place like home...)

Hehehe, I'll be passing through Yorkshire here shortly on my way to London on the train
