    We do think of them but we are allowed be excited too. Its not often we get snow like this on this side of the country.

    Took this about an hour ago out the back during a shower. Vis went down to about 50m at its peak due in no small part to snow drifting like mad off the ground and roofs.

    -4.0c out now but not falling all that fast.

    In 2010 I had a baby Dec 7th and had to move house 17th Dec. Snow and ice everywhere I can just remember it being such a nightmare. Really enjoying it this time round. Can't wait for tomorrow!

    This snow event will turn into Bread Wars, and what to do with the leftovers!
    French toast and bread and butter pudding both excellent uses for stale bread :D

    In case people haven't read the technical threads many of the latest models are starting to agree that the cold spell may in fact last beyond the weekend and not thaw at the weekend as previously thought. But still very early days

    As a member of a search and rescue team who have been on alert since last night I can say I’ve zero problem with people getting excited or wanting to have a snow day. I’m hoping for the same here for my kids.

    What I will say is the person who goes up the sally gap for a selfies in a rwd car in shorts and a T-shirt with no idea how to drive in the snow or up lugga for a stroll having never walked a hill in their life with no supplies or plan should have a serious think about the consequences of that action.

    I hope everyone is safe but I am also very excited to see the snow along with 99% of people on this thread!

    Thank you. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow evening/Friday. Sheds open to the east with cattle and sheep in them. My fear is that they will fill with snow in the blizzard. Sheep are on the point of lambing too.

    Funnily enough I was just thinking before this cold spell started that at any given time theres a large number of pregnant women and how incredibly unlucky each one must feel to be giving birth around this time

    Thats absolutely mad.
    Even in 2010 the weather reports were so toned down by comparison..in fact I distinctly remember thinking the weather reports at the time of snowfalls didn't sound as intense as they turned out in reality.
