My county is covered in snow. My school closed yesterday due to snow for only the second time in it's 600 year history. Everywhere is white, in parts it is at least a foot deep. I don't really like snow, I like the look of it, when I'm inside and I'm warm and dry but I don't like the inconvenience of it.
The Beautiful Children are enjoying this weather muchly, killjoy that I am, am not. My house is awash with damp smelly socks, damp smelly clothes and full of damp weans draped over radiators demanding cups of hot chocolate.
But the real kicker ? I have forked out over £600 for The Beautiful Son to go snowboarding in Switzerland tomorrow. I could have pushed him down the A6 and saved myself a fortune.

So who got out of bed the wrong side this morning?
It will be gone soon, then onto Spring!
No big snow fall in Glasgow though. Its just pure freezing!
Enjoy!
Haha...isn't that the way it always goes? I hate snow. It's supposed to be 73 degrees here today. I'm soooo excited!
I know what you mean. It looks magical at first, but it causes so many problems. I went out yesterday and was slipping and sliding all over the place. I'm staying put today. My boots can't cope.
Middle son is 23 but reverts to an 8 year old, in the snow. I have his wet clothes everywhere, too, from yesterday.
Your son is going to Switzerland, tomorrow? Heavens - where is he flying from? Have you got the huskies ready?
Really sorry about the phone call - ran out of battery and one very annoying feature of my phone is that you can't use it while it's charging! You'll have to give me your home no.! Sorry xxx
Oh ditto, Believe it or not Daisy too has been in Switzerland this week, we must have mug written all over our foreheads!
I got so sick of laying down and picking up soggy wet newspapers and near death experiences trying to get to work.
"I could have pushed him down the A6 . . ." ah hahaha!
Maybe I needed a laugh really bad, because that totally cracked me up!
It's odd how we see things so differently as parents than we did as kids. My kids LOVE rain; it just makes ME feel soggy and drab.
Hugs to you, dear girl.
A day of work that sounds good to me! Shame about the Swiss trip - Ouch! Have a fun weekend. Stay warm. TFx
NB - are you implying I'm not all sweetness and light ? How very dare you
Anon - cheers, welcome fellow inhabitant of Glasmental, I miss it, even if it is feckin freezing
Lisa - I love you but best not to tell me it's 73 degrees where you are, that just makes me cranky x
MM - no matter how many times I tell them not to they just take wet clothes off and stick them straight in the laundry basket. Their bathroom smelt awful this am when I went into empty the basket, but glory be to God in the highest, I don't have to share a bathroom with them, that's the only reason I can can cope x
Sixy - no worries, hope baby's feeling better now xx
Alison - this is his 3rd snowboarding trip and he loves it, shame it's such an expensive hobby

That was pretty funny, but I have to tell you I absolutely HATE the cold snow like nobody else! How ironic that I live in MN where it's cold and snowy practically eight months out of the year!
You make me laugh as always AG. Pushed him down the A6...........

Don't talk to me about snow! House full of soggy kids,tramping slush into my house and leaving every bloody door open! And...as lovely as the snow looks - it hides DOG POO which I walked in, and on into my house!!! AAAAGHHHHHH!!! Mxx
