We've got a sudden burst of heavy snow in central Manchester! 
Hiya Julia! 
I've got the curtains closed. I'll presume it's snowing here too

I didn't know you worked in Amsterdam?
Helloo!! 
I wish I was at home with the curtains closed.

I wish! 
Yeah.

I'm in a phone box.

Hello Miss C
Curtains 'closed'? 
Wouldn't you want them open to look at the snow?! The best thing about cold weather is being able to look smugly out at it from a warm room!
Hello!
That's true, it was the 'at home' bit I was concentrating on!
It's snowing sideways here and we just passed the 5 inch mark.

Or you've collapsed drunk onto the floor.
6 inches of snow here!
I do hope that Marc P and Geoff Mutton have paid their heating bills.
Gutted - I can't get into work. And I had already booked today as annual leave.

Ouch. What a waste.
Did anyone else experience the thunder and lightning and snow combo last night?
Had a wicked view over the estuary last night. Looked amazing.
Wowww!
Big snow here. Like huge snow flakes, I'd say 4-5" settled. Looks pwetty.
