DH doesn't think we're going to get it here in Yorkshire, except maybe out on the tops.  :D

(Btw, the North York Moors were really lovely when we first went up there, because there was still snow everywhere & it was super-duper foggy that day - so everything all around was completely white!  But getting up Sutton Bank in the car was a bit scary.  I was a chicken turd & made DH drive it that day.)

Well so much for that!  It's snowing hard here right now.  :(

I just love snow...I don't want it to snow until I get back from town today! I am going to buy some Wii games and meet up with a few peeps for coffee and doing it in snow is not my idea of a good time.

We have a steady light rain at the minute and I'm okay with that.  Better that than snow!

Not fair!  Not fair!  But you know what, snow is better than...wait for it...freezing rain!  >:D

I'm liking the snow but I'm going to have a pissy attitude towards it if my plans to go bowling tonight get scuppered!!!  :-\\\\

Right we've at least two inches on the ground here now & it's still snowing...it can stop now, or rather move its base of operation about 20 miles on to the northeast of us.  ;)

That is not Midwestern neighbourliness there Mrs. R!   :P

He'd have to fight his way through the snow to get here though.  :P  (plus vegetables to be eaten)

We got about 2 inches here last night.
