Isn’t it infuriating when they go on about the terrible weather down south on the news and the presenter is stood in less than 5cm of snow! So I thought I would use this blog to show what deep snow is all about and how grim, but pretty, it can be up north!
On Tuesday morning after 24 hours of heavy snowfall and gale force winds we awoke to the road to our house being completely blocked by a series of 6ft drifts. It was like a Mr Whipy ice cream van had gone on the rampage overnight with white banks, curls and folds of snow as far as the eye could see. I had to lift Sammie over one of the drifts and he disappeared into a dog shaped hole on the other side! He was not amused!
If it hadn’t been for our trusty builder moving in next door I think I would have been stuck there till if thawed in June! But luckily once the wind stopped filling the lane he came and dug us out from our icy barricade.
At least next time when I call work to say I am snowed in at least people will believe that I am not exaggerating!
Well thats next years Christmas card sorted out! Just think how much money its saving you! You can practise skiing and snowboarding all you like without paying for flights!!!!
Rosie thinks you should be able to make a HUGE snowman with a digger like that!!
Still no excuse for being late – again!
well, i don’t know what all the fuss is about – there was hardly any sign of snow when we returned to the UK on Friday!
actually – feel quite cheated to not have been able to skive off work too due to snow!
