Meet you at J24 Ann :-D ..Jude can put the coffee on please :-D

I'll have to come in the truck cos it's throwing it down here too.

Hubby is out throwing snowballs at the sky dish, it went all crackly , think he must have dislodged most of it , cos reception is back now ,but he is trying for a direct hit on the LMB . Dau is out trying to get an action photo of him !
Don't know who is the dafter !!

It is snowing heavy here in Merthyr Tydfil and has been since about 8pm. If it continues like this we will have more by tomorrow morning than we did this morning. Main roads are trecherous and reports on facebook of cars sliding.

Did the same as you Sandie and cleared all the paths 2 days running.

Just looked at forecast for next 3 days. Every hour (day and night) from now till Sat morning it is a minus. Not much chance of too much more snow - but little chance of it clearing either.

Weekend sees the beginning of plus temps 24/7 - but not above 7C anytime up till next Thursday. Dryish, and should feel like a "heatwave" after all this snow and ice :-)

Having my perm and set on Saturday - staying in till then ;-)

AnnC. I do have a fine head of hair. I don't need to accompany my hair when I get it cut and shaped :-) But it is red, long and luscious ;-)

Edited as I don't want to upset anybody important.

Oh blinking heck I

My dad had gingery / blond hair and my mothers cousin used to taunt him...
Ginger for pluck the red headed duck.

Mum used to laugh her head off at it,..the quotation.... cousin was a bit odd.

My niece and nephew have ginger hair, niece has dyed it blonde.

Flipping eck it's your manner and personality what counts not your hair colour.

I am ...oops sorry ..was brunette .

Edit ..I'm not important.

Sandie. Yes, I was "sandy" when young. And I heard that "ginger for pluck". It was good to have ginger hair in those days. None of the teasing that "gingas" get these days.

OH is blondish - still a very good colour. Children both have reddish hair, but quite a nice colour - not my ginger. My bits now have very little ginger left ;-)

I thought this was the snow thread not a snow on the roof thread (with a dead fire in the hearth) :-D

Lol Sue....
Push off.....

John and were just talking about hair colour,

Can be a very sensitive subject, I know what my original colour was as I had it cut and have kept the tress,,dau thinks it is 'gross'.to do such a thing.

Her friend has straight blonde hair and it is right down to the floor..,she does tie it up sometimes ,but gets really awkward looks from peeps when she doesn't..

I'll go grey gracefully sometime ;-)

So personal Sue. I know that dead fire in the hearth jibe was at me. I think I am the only mail poster to have a dead fire. All the other men at least talk about their fire a lot :-( :-( :-( ;-)

well it stopped snowing here around 3:00 am but has now started yet again - have had to cancel a long awaited get together with some ex colleagues from the sixties - we all worked together at Freeman's cigar factory here in Cardiff - Manikin - we were so looking forward to it, but not possible today - we're dong it again next Wednesday - hopefully

Just finshed digging out the drive for the second time and amazingly a snow plough went past. First time I have seen one in years around here :-)

Hubby and son are both clearing the overnight snow that's fallen,another 3 inches :(

It's in the air now tho ,don't know why they're bothering....
Well I do really ,cos son or dau haven't been to work all week ! and just to keep it under some sort of control.
Son can work from home tho and has been , and dau has lots of leave that she need to takes soon else she'll loose it .

Edit 15.16pm..just checked where I'd cleared last evening,and it was down to a pathway on the patio ...we must have had a foot in places, I was guessing from the snow on the roof of dau's car outside the window when I said 3 inches .
And no bleeding gritter in sight again !!!
