Well it certainly has been one of those days today, I was supposed to go and travel down Bournemouth for work and spend a couple of nights down there but as you can probably tell by me saying “I was supposed to go” kind of gives it away that I didn’t actually make it.
I had a warning from someone at the office down there last week asking if I was sure I would make it as for this week there has been a severe weather warning and like most things, I just thought the weather is never right, they didn’t see the floods coming nor did they see the bad winter we had last year nor did they expect the one we had back in December 2009. So me being me said yeah I would be fine.
I woke up at 6am and there was heavy snow outside and it was still coming down. I went and defrosted the cars getting ready for the journey as I thought it would stop and probably clear and so my wife could get to work also I did her car too. (How very wrong I was) I can honestly say I have never seen this much snow in my life, its something you expect to see in films or a James bond movie when fighting in Russia or something. It is very fun to play in and watch the dogs run about and also very exciting, it’s bring out the child in me.
It has continued to snow for 11 hours solid with no signs of it slowing down, as I look out of my window right now the flakes are actually starting to get worse and bigger and come down a little slower but still much larger flakes! There has been a severe weather warning on the news for my area (south Yorkshire) and also for (west Yorkshire) where I work.
If the news is right the snow will continue through the night and will also continue for the rest of the week.
This country isn’t supposed to be this white over with snow! But I love it!
Check out the Gallery below, you will see some of the photos I took with my iPhone and I will soon be updating with more photos when I get them off my camera!
Enjoy!
Oh by the way when I measured how deep the snow was in my garden at 4:30pm it was 6.5 inches. I will do the same thing in the morning and update this post!
