White Christmas?
 

According to my favorite weather forecaster, metcheck.com, Lancashire has a 60% chance of seeing a white Christmas this year.

We all know that forecasting the weather in this neck of the woods for tomorrow is hardly a precise science. So forecasting for a month and a half into the future is bound to be even less precise. Still, it is nice to dream.

Anyone care to open a book on the possibility???

6/4 aint bad odds on this I would take it. Dont see many or have seen many white christmas. Hope it happens for the little kids and the big A kids as well.

Still having nightmares about driving in the snow last Christmas day, and have to drive again this Christmas day. So i hope it doesn't snow. But please, please, please snow on Boxing day.

I would settle for both days being white. My Christmas Day with my daughter is Boxing Day so that might make me an oddity again.;)

We had a white Boxing Day here in Cheshire, last year. I don't mind driving on it but I'm rubbish at walking on ice (I had a bad fall a few years ago and I'm now terrified). We all went to the local, half a mile away, for lunch and we walked so we could all have a drink. I had to cling to my son-in-law on the way there and to my grandson on the way back.

We don't get much deep snow here as we are, geographically, at sea-level. On the rare occasions that we do it part-thaws within 12 hours, turns to slush and then freezes. This plays havoc with the swing bridges over the Manchester Ship Canal (it doesn't take much - Summer heat can knock them out too) and causes havoc on the roads over them.

I love the idea of a white Christmas. The reality is not so appealing.

last christmas day we got a bit of snow and i took great pleasure in dragging my 9 month old son at the time around to his grandmas on a sledge and he loved it too

seems only the older folk dislike snow ( 16+) coz ive yet to see a kid that dosnt want to play out as soon as they see the snow starting to stick , although they come back in pretty soon when their fingers are hurting from the cold and look at you like your daft when you say put cold water on your fingers that will be better than hot lol

i hope it does snow coz ive got a snowball fight rematch to have with a certain 9 year old that thought it would be clever to hide a snowball in the freezer and get me while i was watching TV later that week

Re: White Christmas?
 

Chav should I bet on the 9 year old? :eek: :D

Re: White Christmas?

Re: White Christmas?

I love it when it snows. Everything looks so clean! And its warmer than if its just icy. A couple of years ago there was snow on the ground at new year and thats when i fell coming home from the pub. Everyone said be careful its slippy out there and i managed to walk over the ice ok - let go of the wall didnt even take a step and went down on the floor and cracked my elbow. Wouldnt have been bothered normally except i was having a party on new years day in fact exactly 12 hours after i did it! Sorted the party out and got drunk again and next day went to the hospital!
