Snowing fairly heavy in Dartford, but not settling - shame as I would love to see my two dogs in proper snow, they have never experienced it - we have a Land Rover Defender (the proper one, not the new one), so not fussed about driving in proper snow2

I think we are all guilty of mis-remembering sometimes but I agree, I'm sure it snowed most winters when I was growing up. I remembering sledging with my schoolmates when I was 9 or 10 & going outside throwing snowballs with my brothers. I've have 3 teenagers now & they haven't seen any decent snow for years. We had the "beast from the east" 3 years ago but before then it must have been about 10 years ago when we had a decent amount. Then I remember them helping me dig the car out & then taking me all day to try to get to work. Nowdays it's an hour or 2 of flurries which settles & then melts within a few hours.orpingtonRED said:Maybe I am imagining it, I know your mind plays tricks, but I'm sure we used to get a lot more snow.
I was remembering this morning all the places me and my mates/family used to go sledging as kids. Greenwich Park obviously the hill by the observatory- I think that's all fenced off now so probably don't allow kids on there anymore. Hilly Fields in Ladywell was good as was the park next to Horniman Museum. There was a massive park in Eltham that I forget the name but that used to get really busy. Rotherhithe had a decent hill next to a little church and at the bottom of the hill was basically a brick wall and then the Thames so you had to jump off before hitting the wall.
I'm just thinking about all the places I know now as an adult and really hoping for a few inches of snow😀 for the kids sake obviously
Daughter wants to move to Canada where they get serious amounts of snow !2 -
Serious snow here in Kent too. Already one-eighth of an inch. Well, almost.Curb_It said:Very pretty.
Some serious snow in NY. 13 inches in Central Park.
As soon as I wrote inches I immediately thought here comes Mehmet!1 -
Am sure we used to go sledging at Shenstone most winters.golfaddick said:

Just had to drive from Minster on sea to Marden to collect some grub for the dogs, a few twitchy moments when the car wanted go sideways but the thought of explaining to to OB why the back of the car looked like a murder scene helped maintain my concentration. 😂5

I have less of a plan going back up.3 -
Agree if you have to go out in it or worse drive anywhere. But since its Lockdown & you could be furloughed or WFH then for most people it shouldn't be a problem.Karim_myBagheri said:am i only one on here who isent that keen on the snow? to look at for the first day is fine but if it stays longer than that it just becomes a pain.
FWIW......its been snowing steadily now all day & has finally starting to settle as we had rain last night & before lunch it was just melting.0 -
Our area of Dartford just had about half hour of fairly heavy snow, suddenly it all went white and probably got around 10 to 15mm on all surfaces including the paths and road, still snowing lightly and temperatures dropped to freezing,0

Shit in Greenwich. Now it is cold freezing rain... the most we have had is sleet? Where do the forecaster think it is going to snow in London? Snow usually bypasses us or it is thee for about 3hrs and melts.0

Same in Gravesend. It's due to snow all night tonight, so maybe as it gets colder it may settle overnightRudders22 said:Shit in Greenwich.
