When I watched the weather report this morning, I saw little white blobs moving along up there and though about our UKY polar bears.  ;)  It's been bone-freezingly cold and windy here today, I don't think I could deal with snow too!

Hehehe  Polar Bears! :)  I walked home from work tonight in a nasty freezing/icy/sleety/few flakes of snow mixed in rain. Blech!

 Nice frosty-snow covered walk this morning, almost 2 inches lying?  Almost got run over by one of those sidewalk plows this morning as I neared work!

And really coming down right now!

My god! Whereas in London, we've got sunshine and blue skies and it was the first day I've not had to wear my hat and gloves on my walk in. The first ray of hope that we might actually get Spring soon...

I'm mentally sending our sunshine up to you!

I think I may have to change my mind on that holiday home in the Highlands when I make my millions doing... something.   :P  ;)

I woke up and thought, "ooh, pretty!" and "yay, snow!".  I stood outside waiting for my bus and thought "grumblegrumblegrumble. Snow is pretty but I'd rather it were warm and sunny." Walking home after class, 15 minutes out, it started to sleet and I mentally composed a letter to my parents, apologizing for complaining that they chose to raise their kids far from snowmen and snowball fights. Apparently it could snow off and on through the weekend.  :-\\\\

Watched it snow heavily last night- watching it snow heavily right now.  Luckily most of it doesn't seem to be sticking around too much.

We've been having downright bizarro weather today.  It's a shining example of the whole "4 seasons in 1 day" thing.  It's sunny, it's cloudy, it's raining, it's sunny, it's snowing!, it's sunny, it's blowing gales, it's hailing, it's sleeting, it's sunny... and sooo on.  The only thing that has remained constant is how gosh darn cold it feels!

No snow, but man oh man it was windy today!  We were rolling in the wind up on the 9th Floor where I work (like being on the deck of a ship).  :-\\\\

And a man got killed & woman injured in Leeds city centre this afternoon when a lorry blew over on top of them!  :o  (we had something similar happen about 2-3 years ago in an autumn gale when someone got killed in city centre by flying scaffolding that had been torn apart by the winds!)

Oh my god that is horrible!  I knew it was windy, but didn't think it could blow over a big truck!  :o :(

Heavy, but wet snow coming down here.  I don't think it will stick, but I still don't like it! :(
