Oh Lotuspetal, you weren't born then when we had the bad one in 1962/3 (when I was 12 )! It snowed on Boxing Day and didn't thaw until March. They cleared the roads after a while but it became a normal sight to see the snow banked up on the sides.

This morning it had snowed by 2.30, and there is still a light dusting of it left. Nothing on the roads though, just shed roofs and the like. I think we're due to have it later on Saturday. Surprisingly I feel warm inside, it must be calm outside. Just had a peek - it is and the sky is beautifully star-lit.

LOL

"If it's icy"

Yes, of-course, we SHOULD... A L W A Y S... drive 'within the limits of'
our ability,
the capability of our vehicle
and, according to the road conditions ..AT ALL TIMES

However
"the mail must get through" -
"the midwife must deliver" -
"the store must be resupplied"

LOL
Where ? would we be if 'everyone' STAYED-HOME ????
My late husband was experienced at driving in bad conditions, so he went to work 30 minutes away and he was the only one who showed up!

Another time I had an important dental appointment. It was so extremely icy out that I had to grab the shrubs to keep from falling on the way to the car. The dentist was about 50 minutes away. When we got there, he hadn't come in and no one had called us! The main roads weren't icy. Anyway, we waited while he was called and on his way in.

Sixty-three???? If we remember the sixties, we weren't there! LOL. President Kennedy was shot, but I don't recall our weather.

Light snow and a dusting of snow today, possibly to 1/2 inch of snow. Temp. today in lower 30's. Next week to have warmer temps.

 

[Rescued One]

It's really pretty outside! A bit of snow covers the ground. I hope we have snow again for Christmas!

It's 55F and sunny right now in Central Oklahoma - a beautiful day.

 

[jsimms615]

LOL. You're right. That's a beautiful day if you don't mind it in December.

That's happy weather.

Happy here today too as it was a little cooler than the last few days, which was welcome to us all.

 

[Pilgrim]

It's been warmer than seasonal averages.

I heard about that one from my older sister and parents. My dad was a lorry driver and he would share stories about how bad it was on the roads. I think they said that the ones since then were no match for it!

Well it is finally here - the middle area of England has snow all day today. Church has been cancelled - only two families would have been able to walk to church. Currently -1 degree celsius/ 31 degree fahrenheit.

My youngest gave me a by the minute account of how much snow was outside his bedroom window since 6am this morning, and is now prepareing himself to go out on his sledge,

 

[nChrist]

It's 38F right now and expected to hit 67F later today - another nice day.

Typical early December weather: chili today, hot tamale.

Yep, that was it! We were in London, and my aunt and uncle had visited for Christmas. My uncle travelled back home on Boxing Day because of work, but my aunt planned to stay a few days more but found she couldn't get a train back to Bristol for about a week I think. (Cliff Michelmore - there's a name from the past. ).

Coming back to the present it has snowed here too, and I'm loving it. But it hasn't caused much inconvenience, apart from slushy pavements.

Warm and sunny with a little breeze today.
