It's SNOWING !!!!!!!!!!

[West Ender]

Here in sub-tropical Lymm I woke up at 6 a.m. to find a blizzard outside. I got in my car at 7.15 and there was 2" of snow on it and still blizzarding. When I got to Warrington, less than 7 miles away, there wasn't a bit of it to be seen and mine was the only car in the car park with snow on the roof.

My granddaughter is 6 and she has never sledged or built a snowman. My grandson is 20 and he has only sledged 3 times - when he was a little boy.

tinkerbelle have you made that character on the internet ?

Drat i missed the snow, just got back yesterday from a week in Tenerife. But have read on teletext that we are meant to get a lot of snow next week. Seeing is believing though.

Which one moon? This one?

If so I'm not sure which site it came from, I didn't make it on avatar dolls or anything.

 

[minniemouse]

Heard we are to be in for some more snow over the next 2 weeks..

 

[Tinkerbelle]

I also heard that the MET Office is predicting yet another cold snap with snow on it's way ....... I'm sure they do it just to tease poor Simon lol!

I have noticed they've had a little snow in the North Yorkshire Dales , well on Ingleborough anyway ... I can see it on a clear day from my living room window

Dougie your the man with the 'know' is Ingleborough near Ingleton, classed as a mountain or just a large hill? Also am I correct in thinking it's were the Dales meet the Lakes?

 

[Doug]

No your wrong (again) my beautiful little fairy (please note I’ve never clapped eyes on her) Ingleborough is my favourite Yorkshire Mountain which stands at 2,373 ft. I’ve walked up it three times, twice last year and its no where near the lakes.

There use to be an Iron Age fort on the top of it. It's very cold up there and gets very windy, but if you get the chance please go up and enjoy.

 

[Tinkerbelle]

Thankyou Dougie, see you don't know unless you ask.

Beautiful pictures as always ...... Nearly as beautiful as me!

Behave, mountains never grow old, that why I spend so much time up them. Tinks if you like to walk get the old man in the car and go over. But think on it's an 9 mile round trip from Horton in Ribblesdale and about 4 from the Road above Ingleton.....

 

[Tinkerbelle]

Will definately have a look over that way Doug, very much doubt I'll be climbing it though, I'll just get as near as possible and admire it's beauty

 

[Doug]

Get yourself over to Horton in Ribblesdale and get up Pen-y-gent. Fantastic and windy. Pen-y-gent is celtic and means something like windy hill or place. worth the effort.

 

[Tinkerbelle]

Sounds like a good trip for the school holidays to me

Taking of school my reception class teacher was called Mrs Gent does her name translate to Mrs Windy then? ...........

Better buy a quad bike then tinks.

I was thinking more a big 4x4 ........ but shhh don't tell Dougie, I don't think he'd appreciate me tearing up his mountains

A 4 x 4 could be a 4 wheeled cart puled by a Shire horse. Problem solved

Tinks, if it's over 2000 feet in height, it's a mountain. Less than that, it's a hill.

Not sure if Tinks is over the hill yet, but if she is she is not in Accy.

Ahhh right, I see. Cheers Pendy
