    It's really chucking it down again here in the West Midlands.
    Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

      I would like to build a big snow mountain. So big that it leaves a dent in the ground and takes weeks to melt. But I expect I would be infringing some council by-law.

        Was snowing pretty heavily here for the last couple of hours in East Northants but has stopped again.

          You also need to make sure it is multi coloured with no obvious phallic overtones, and yes it will need to melt as fast as the rest of the snow, and finally make sure you don't infringe any human rights by building it too high, at too steep an angle etc,etc.....

          Who has time? Who has time? But then if we do not ever take time, how can we ever have time?

            The students at the local campus built a huge snow willie plus testicals last year and that took weeks to melt. Sadly this years intake seem to be too thick to build big snow phalluses.

              We did that at school on the playing field behind the 6th form common rooms circa 1980. It was about 8 feet high and didn't finally disappear until May.

              Every breaktime we played a variation of British Bulldog over it.

              IIRC, it was responsible for approximately two injuries per day, but they generally weren't reported in case the 'playing' got banned.

                I was going to post "Stopped snowing now" but it's just started again!

                  Snowfall is more persistent now, but doesn't seem to be adding to the current (pitiful) accumulation.

                    Snowed last night here, about 3-4 inches
                    Got into work without a hitch, but now it appears that all the roads out (single lane roads with passing places) are blocked by crashed cars!

                      Time to cut across the fields then.
