SnowDay!... wait, in England!?

[Snathan!]

Loads of schools have been shut in England due to snow.
Apparantly it's the most snow we've had in 15 years or something.

But I don't need to know that.
All I care about is that there's no school and there's white fluffy stuff on my lawn. :D

It's almost funny watching how careful everyone suddenly is about their driving.


Any other Ukians/Irelandians had this much snow?

[LOL]

When I went to London 5 years ago, there was snow and they said it was the most amount of snow they've had in 10 years :O You guys don't get good kind of snow, it will turn into ice tomorrow.


Ukians? Haha.

[Samwesty999]

Yippee! It is snowing here too and there is no school today. In a little while I think I will go out and make a snowman. It is 3 inched thick over here and apparently the worse in 8 years.

Ukians? Sounds too much like Ukrainians.

[Powdinet]

Lucky English people always have a way to not go to school:mad:

[STaLAmiTe 67]

Where I live the snow is about a metre thick. I put my foot in the ground and I can't reach the ground.

[Miss 100]

My school isn't closed but I was in SO much pain (frozen feet and severe headache) walking to school I had to turn around and come home. About 200 schools in my county are closed. Mine is virtually the only one that is open...

:(

This is how much snow there is here. (http://i39.tinypic.com/23k510j.jpg)
It's not thaaaat much but it's bitterly cold.

[mab3001]

yaya....noooo skl...

[Pen Rua]

Most of Ireland is covered with snow... besides where I live :rolleyes:.

[Bizor]

You Brits have all the luck, the last time snow in Florida was less than half an inch up near NASA about 5 years ago.

[Tom Yellow - Penguin]

Lucky... I got sick and I couldn't go to school for the whole week and today.:D But no snow. D:

[Anvar]

Hooray! It reminds me in Russia. I played snowballs, build a snow fort and then smashed it:P

Oh I wish it could be Christmas everyday...

[CenT.]

Yeah. theres snow here to. its great! :D

[Superspy4]

No school!
I have the biggest garden in our area, so we had loads of people come round to play with the snow!

Can't believe we got this much, apparently it's drifting off though, might not get another day off school tommorow :(
I'll post some pictures in a minute.

EDIT: PC wont connect camera, might have to uplaod later

[Snookie]

My school so isn't closed, but every other school in my area is :P

I always play in it :P

[leelad999]

My school wasn't closed today, the snow isn't that bad here in Liverpool. I don't care though, I got to pelt all my friends with freezing snow :D

[The Chosen One]

I'd like to give a big shoutout to Siberia for the cold temperatures and france for all the snow. :D

[Snathan!]

It was just confirmed by special sources (my mummy :)) that we have no school tomorrow either =D

We regret that as a result of the heavy overnight snowfall the school will be closed today, Monday 2 February.
A decision about opening the college on Tuesday 3 February will be taken and posted here as close to 7.00 in the morning as possible.

[leelad999]

Please note as of 3:30pm on 2nd February the school has made the decision that it WILL BE OPEN AS NORMAL TOMORROW. If any decision is made on the contrary it will be reported here immediately.

* Taken from my Schools website.

Aww, I have tonnes of homework to be handed in tommorow as well -_-

[GSP-x]

School wasnt shut today, it wont be shut tomorow as its not that heavy. But it was one of the best days of my life, we had 20 mins added to our lunchtime JUST to play about in the snow, I had a snowball fight with my crush ;], everyone was messing about throwing snowballs, it was everywhere, in the school, in classrooms. On the way home we were chucking loads of snowballs at cars and it was so funny, I really wish I could rewind as I haven't seen snow since i was like 6, best day ever!

[TnT]

We got out at 12 because it's snowing, we have like 2 inches at the moment and it's still snowing. :P

[Superspy4]

my cousin's college decided to start late at 10am, the finished at 10:30am :P

[CenT.]

More is on the way. :cool:

[Superspy4]

yeah, just tuned into bbc.
more snow across UK, likely to be heavy in the SOUTH EAST
i havn't done my IT homework, or german. so im praying for another day off

[Freebee93]

[Anvar]

Hooray, I'm not going to School Tomorrow! They have posted that due to extreme weather conditions our school will be closed tomorrow!:D

[Heat 4eva]

Snow day Yessssssssssssssssssssssss.

Awesome.

[walmartshrty]

:O WHAT? It doesn't snow in England?

Everything I learned from the movies has suddenly become irrelevant. :(

[256log]

:O WHAT? It doesn't snow in England?



THATS WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY!
Seriously, I always thought it snowed in England? I knew it rained and was always gray...:confused:
We've got about ten inches still on the ground and have used all of our snow days this year. =[

[GSP-x]

I have only seen snow, 3 times. Most of the times it is RAIN.

And for the movies. FAKE SNOW or NOT SET IN ENGLAND ;dd

They were probably filmed in northern Scotland. Or norway. :O

HEY, it was set in England! It was that movie with that highly fake actor with the British accent. Oh, yes, Hugh Grant. And it was in both his England set movies. I think that maybe all English have been hallucinating and maybe it was really snowing all along!

I swear, I'm not crazy! D;

Its probably paper confetti snow ;d
Backtothepoint. It doesnt snow alot here.

I think it's against the law to use that much paper confetti.

[GSP-x]

Really. Were did you read that to? The silly book of laws ;] jk.

Haha.
Well it sometimes snows a little, but only every few years will it snow enough to settle properly.
I've only seen that happen 3-4 times here.

[Superspy4]

ANOTHER DAY OFF SCHOOL

im so happy, except for one part: today my sister is off as well, all the roads are blocked meaning that all the teachers at her school can't make it.

It was so much fun without her :P

[Miss 100]

Haha.

Every few years?! I honestly don't know what you're talking about.

I'm pretty sure it has snowed (and settled) at least ONCE a year every year since I was born.
I've always lived in the South/South East.

Anyway, I have school again today but I only have to go in at 10am. Ughh... oh well.
There are worse things than school.

[Heat 4eva]

Off again today. First double day off in my life :D

[Snookie]

Off again today. First double day off in my life :D

ALL Birmingham City Council schools are closed on Tuesday 03 Feb 2009
Birmingham City Council has decided that all maintained schools in the city are to close today, in accordance with the city's emergency planning advice.

Lucky me :)

[Snathan!]

Being under a cover on a school day at 8.25 has to be the best feeling ever.

It only settles well enough to have any fun every few years, yes.
I live south west of London.

lol im off today too! My sister stil has to go tho! :D

[leelad999]

Our snow has turned into a slushy ice mixture. I can't believe they made us go in, all the School grounds were like an ice rink :mad:

[GSP-x]

Ok, i'm so angry. All the other schools apart from one other one were closed all day in the city I live in. I hate my headteacher, we have to go to school while other people have snow fights. Ahhh.
The snow is mostly gone now. It was nice while it lasted. If only it could of waited til tomorow (my b-day) I would have been happy then.

It was funny though, me and my mates missed practically missed WHOLE of science because we where having fun out on the field. Too bad I have detention tomorow, ON MY B-DAY.

[elfinitty]

GSP-x i think so,its really bad!

Well,in my location it snows rarely.And it never snowed in this year(this winter)
