No not in Kalkan but in the UK. How is everyone coping with the snow at the moment? It's not too bad in Stockport where we live but Oldham (where I work) is a different story - about 2 feet if not more ! It all looks very pretty but a nightmare to travel in :o
-
Fareham....on the south coast........so far NO snow..just cold!......but now it's just started !!but only light!
thought for the day......."Be thankful you aren't a sausage dog in 6 inches of snow" :o
-
Had a sprinkling over night in bury,nothing to shout about,maybe a inch,but very cold and windy,yet again,same as earlier this year....no gritters in sight !!!!!! >:(
-
Another snow shower in South Wales this morning, topping up what's still lingering around from Friday here on the hills. Bitterly cold but can't really complain, just grateful to have a warm home and plenty of food in the cupboard. If you're out and about guys be extra careful on those slippery roads and pavements :o.

Blizzard conditions for St Andrews day up here in Scotland. All local schools closed and people being sent home from work early( those who managed to get to work )
Been snowing it seems non stop for days now and I'm fed up with it already. It looks lovely but driving is a nightmare >:(
-
Thick snow where we are in North Wales, but nothing of any note in Liverpool where I work...a dusting at best. Snowed on Friday and snow has gone on top of frozen snow everyday since...we're kinda used to it :( and already fed up of it too, like itstime. Snow shovels and a grit sharing scheme amongst the neighbours is what generally gets us through.
-
ohhh i've seen the pictures of Scotland on the news itstime..must be a nightmare for you! I did feel a teeny bit jealous though when we had none..think the novelty would wear off after a couple of days trying to drive in it though !
-
Came heavy in the night here in Holmfirth although main roads are now clear but now freezing cold so could be icy tomorrow. Looks very nice through the window but not so good to be out in!! Sunny Kalkan seems a long way off!!

Absolutely! it really is scary stuff. Lost count of the cars I saw today skidding all over the place :o
All my time at work this morning was trying to arrange alternatives to "meals on wheels" for local older people as the vans couldn't get round to deliver and the school kitchens where a lot of the meals are prepared were closed.
It does indeed look very pretty but is so dangerous to drive in or indeed to try and walk anywhere :(
Little sign of the roads being properly gritted as even major roads are covered in snow. I live in the central belt of Scotland and have never seen it so bad before. Temperatures tonight predicted to go down to -12 here and much lower further North :o
Could Kalkan please send over some sunshine :)
-
Still not much in SUNNY bury.... just a dusting of snow,very cold and freezing wind.
Its very strange,everywhere around us in knee deep in snow but bury is ok,even the bin men came round today with no problems ;D
-
Blue Lizard, just you wait!!! Have seen the local weather forecast and we are all in for it! Only 20 miles from you, plenty of snow and COLD!!!! This time last week was in temps of 35 (not in Hampshire!!!), am now abusing hot water bottle and electric blanket. Not at the same time, might be permanently warm! >:D >:D >:D
-
Think I spoke to soon ...thick snow here in Stockport and still coming down !
-
We had a dusting last night of about 1 inch.....nearly all gone now ..but why do drivers turn into Plebs when it snows?coming back home from work on M27 this morning...Overhead Electronic boards warning of conditions and ice etc..Sp limit of 40 mph and the busiest lane is the outside lane!! with these herberts doing 70 plus!! and they pull in infront of those of us who have left a braking distance! if you are going to prang your car please do it away from me""" Grrrr.... Grrr...gnashing teeth Grrrr!!! >:(

Trying to drive out of my quiet street in Nottingham (6/8 inches of snow), I mistook my car for a ice skater in the Olympics! :o Drive safely everyone!

yes please be careful out there. I got stuck earlier trying to get into the carport :o backwards and forwards I went until thankfully managed to move in the correct direction. Scary stuff and I'm alreday dreading tomorrow morning :(

The snow has finally reached Brighton today - it's really coming down at the moment and looks beautiful:) There's wierd lightning in the sky too, an amazing sight.
Oops, just been told that the 'lightning' is from the railway line....
Actually, it could be lightning!

Hi All,
No snow here in balmy Helen's Bay, N. Ireland. 2deg., sunny and no iced up windows to clear even. Looks bad for tomorrow, so will have to bring the sun loungers in!

Two Snowmen in a field.....One says to the other........."Here,..Can you smell carrots?" :laugh: :angel:
-
What did the snowgirl do to the snowman after they had a row? She gave him the cold shoulder :laugh:!!
-
I cannot believe what I have just heard on the News!!
Some silly person dialled 999 to report that somebody had stolen her snowman out of her garden!!!
Are these people for real? http://news.uk.msn.com/odd-news/articles.aspx?cp-documentid=155423836 (http://news.uk.msn.com/odd-news/articles.aspx?cp-documentid=155423836)

Bloomin' snow. Just spent 3 days to-ing and fro-ing to Gatwick, Heathrow and London city airports trying to get to Nice for our Grandaughters 3rd birthday party at Boomiland. Came home this afternoon after 4 cancelled flights to find more of that horrible white stuff here. Try once more tomorrow night and then give up!
On Breakfast tv wednesday morning they were telling us about this wonderful new equipment they have to keep the runways clear. What happened to it? Don't suppose they could get it out of the garage 'cos of the snow.
-
My hubby has been stood with his nose against the window, watching it snow all day.
Suppose, I should let him come in now?
-

Can't believe it! Snow plough eventually cleared my road on Saturday morning so was able to get out over the weekend with little problem but now the snow has been coming down thick and fast for the past few hours so road all blocked again ::)
Got day off today to go do rest of Christmas shopping but no chance now. Honestly if I hear a whisper of anyone "dreaming of a white Christmas" I won't be responsible for my actions >:(
-
Oh Goody!! Bing Crosby!!
I'm dreaming of a WHITE christmas
just like the ones we used to know
where the treetops glisten and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow
(that bit twice)
I'm dreaming of a WHITE christmas
with every christmas card i write
may your days be merry and bright
and may all your christmases be WHITE
(that bit twice)
composed by irving Berlin.......................................Nice and sunny here..no snow!! :-* :-*

:o :o :o Hey BL if it wasn't for the fact that I'm now unable to leave my house I'd turn up at your door and bury your lizardy scales in the white stuff ;D ;D
-
Well i for one are missing Antler,if you are out there can't you do a similar write up about your day to day life in the snow instead of your daily Kalkan stories....im sure it would brighten our days! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

after nightmare journey eventually made it in to work. Entire day spent either walking or in 4x4 delivering presciptions, cooking hot meals and carying out care tasks for older people who have no family or other means of support. Have to say as a manager I take my hat off to the home support workers who do this on a daily basis. Not sure I would be up to the task of doing it on a permanent basis. Tonight I feel exhausted and another day of the same tomorrow. A few miles walk to work and then doing what's needed to keep older people safe in these unbelievable conditions. Was -11 at noon today :o
-
You deserve a big pat on the back!!(and a wee dram!) pity more people don't look out for others.....even just popping round next door or two to see if old folk are O.K :-*
