Since the theme of the next few weeks involves the same thing, I'm doubling up and combining them. There will be a few layouts.. I have photographs galore!!!
And the theme of the fortnight is ....
SNOW!!!! ICE!!! SNOW!!!! CHAOS!!! SNOW!!!
I love snow, honestly i do.. I think its petty as heck, but after 3 or 4 days it gets old fast!!! The snow was knee deep, the temperatures were regularly -19 celsius and EVERYTHING stopped!
School closed, Buses and Trains were off, shops closed, Robert got sent home from work most days! It sucked.. big time!!!
The worst day was the Monday. Robert left work at 11am after 2 solid hours of heavy snow and ended up getting home at 3pm. He had to walk from the next town. Some of his work friends ended up sleeping in the office! When the school closed at 12 I went to collect Christopher and we saw the funniest thing ever! The council sent out a snow crew with shovels and grit in a flatbed to dig out stuck cars.... They got stuck.. had to try and dig themselves out.. BUT.. it was snowing so heavy that the holes were filling up as fast as they dug them... So a snow plough drove up the wrong side of the road to shunt them out as they were blocking the main road... Snow plough.... GOT STUCK!!!!! My Sis-in-law works in the city left work at 1pm.. got home at 11.30pm walking a great deal of the way! The motorway was closed, people slept in cars, there were emergency shelters in offices and supermarkets! The army had to dig out some roads!!
Rogue of course ADORED his first snow!!
Here is a selection of photos from our SnowDays
Those icicles were HUGE! I had visions of one snapping off and stabbing someone!!!
