In Middlesbrough their is at least 5-6 inches of snow, this is the most we have had for about 10 years? I only know that because i wasn't even in my teens the last time i saw proper snow around here. It's like we live in a bubble, only this year it popped.

Because of it, all the roads are in turmoil around here, hell a bus ended up horizontal across one of the busiest roads around here.

Can't blame them though, we knew snow was coming, but we thought it would be the regular slush shower.
The last time i remember having proper snow in Middlesbrough was when i was about 7. I hate that three or four inches we normally get that lasts about two days xD. And now when we finally get proper snow, i'm in manchester away from my friends. Its not fair.
And what road did the bus turn over on?

I never understood the thing with central Europe and not going to places due to snow.
We had (like almost the whole other world) a record last winter here. From December to March we had like 1 meter high snow walls between the roads and the pavements in the cities and close to minus 35 Celsius in January and if you didn't go to school you got some sort of punishment. So lucky me walking/biking 2.5 kilometers every morning at 7.30.
Greetings from Finland!!!

Its -22 Celsius degrees here, about 15 cm snow and its still snowing. Everything works like the usual, and never during my lifetime have the schools been closed because of the weather. Also, theres this really cold wind to top it all.

Welcome to Finland's capital, the most southern point in all of Finland.
What's it like in summer?

Get over it. I have 30cm of snow ON MY CAR ALONE and I still have to get to work. Honestly since I live in Poland and we usually get quite a bit of snow in the winter (currently snow and -15C*), thus we learned to not care about it. If it is there than it's just slightly hardened water. A vehicle weighing over a ton can easily drive over that. And if not? Well than I will at least have a few free days from work ;).

Well this sucks for me, I can't get to college because Im snowed in and live in the middle of nowhere. All my friends are out doing the usual stuff you do in the snow: Snowmen, Snowballs etc.

What do you guys have to do when you snow in. My Playstation is busted so Im gonna have to find something to occupy time.
All I've got is my laptop and the internet. Not even a TV.

It's my own fault, I chose this week to go away to a cottage in the middle of nowhere on a writing retreat...
A computer and internet is superior to any tv.

Acklam Road, in front of Whinnybanks shops, it didn't turn over, it just skidded and ended up horizontal over the road XD

Summer has been really warm here during the past couple of years, we have had +20 C, so no complaints there. Before this hot summer streak they were usually around +15 degrees.

Snow seems to be avoiding us, i'm in the Midlands and eveywhere else in the country has reports of 6 inch drifts and people stuck in cars on the motorways, yet we have barely a centimetre.

Still bloody cold though... Global Warming my arse.

One day I will be in Aus and never have to suffer this shit again!

To say I hate snow would be an understatment, being so cold it hurts even in doors and walking half my normal speed out of fear of falling over and splitting my skull open.

Last year atleast two people died, a fireman and little girl slipped and smacked there head on the ground.

This year is worse now, I am on a non-paid work placement putting junk mail through peoples doors. So not only am I risking death and freezing, I am doing it for an almost worthless cause (we put out about 500 bags to be filled with unwanted stuff, we got 66 back which was a record ...) 'cos most bags go straight into the bin.

All this just so I get work experiance and a referance for any future jobs interviews.

For people in the UK I am working for the british heart foundation, who get ALOT of stuff donated and a healthy amount of it gets thrown away, another good sized portion gets sent to "the rag man" who weighs ripped clothes etc and for every tonne they get £800, only a small amount actually gets sold in the shops.

The difference is, your country probably kicks ass at clearing and coping with snow, getting grit down to melt it etc. We suck at it, seriously ... imagine a bunch of 6 year olds trying to read les miserables.

I've just been going on the Xbox and this site tbh. Hopefully college won't be cancelled for too long because Media Studies coursework is fucking hard.

What I normally do. Absolutely buggerfuck all.
I am housebound all the time anyway. Too sick to do anything.
