It began a few hours after I woke up…eyes started going, so I took some pills and got back into bed — thought I had got to it early enough to knock it out but it came back with a vengeance about 3 hours ago.

It’s eased off again now, but I know that is only going to last so long so I don’t want to spend too long online and I am sure I will be getting an early night tonight.

It is meant to snow tonight, and as much as I love snow I now hope it doesn’t because I won’t be able to watch it, let along go out and play in it!

Come on migraine, play nice and leave me in peace!

Reminds me of the old days of snow where it would stick around for weeks and weeks to the point that I would get bored of seeing it.

Here are some pictures I took earlier today:

They say more is on the way tonight, fingers crossed. I can’t get enough of the stuff :)

I am 28 but I get as excited as a kid when it starts to come down. I went out to play in it on at least 4 occasions, I made a snow man, I jumped in snow drifts as tall as my head and I stood in the middle of a roundabout at 5am.

It stopped snowing in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, but they say that there is more to come over the next few days so fingers crossed for that. Here are just a few pictures of the 100s I took :)

It did start snowing that night, and when I headed to bed around 5am it was looking stunning…snowing really hard…I was excited to see what it would be like when I got up the next day. Well, I woke up around 9am and had a quick look out — it had already stopped and by the time I got up at 2pm it was raining and any snow that was on the ground was all but gone.

20cms of snow, biggest fall in 20 years?

PAH!

That’ll teach me not to believe the weather forecast.

Usually I try not to get my hopes up as they so often get it wrong, but they are so confident it’s coming that they have already closed schools for tomorrow!

I started snowing a while ago and I am about to head to bed, hopeful that tomorrow I will wake up to some awesome sights.

I will be sure to post lots of pictures if it is as big as it’s expected to be.

I love snow.

It’s cold during the day, but in the dead of night as I am up on my own and there’s been no sign of any heating for several hours it’s cold.

Last night to try and keep warm I was sat with my scarf, arm warmers and a hat on — inside the house I mean. I bet I looked a right wally.

We even had our first snow of the winter a few days ago and I am very much a snow fan. It wasn’t exactly anything to write home about however — which is why I didn’t write about it here, it just flurried for about 10 minutes, stopped, started again for around another 15 minutes and then turned to rain and washed away, boo, I want big ‘the country was at a standstill’ type snow like we had last year. Here’s a picture of one of last years lovely, beautiful snow falls at my parents house:

I am thinking that tonight I may wear one of my Berghaus Jackets because I know that will keep me warm, it’s kept me warm up windy hills in Yorkshire in October — but it might be a bit overkill, I really would look like a big wally so I will probably just try a hot water bottle, or wrapping up in my fleece blanket instead and then go for the Berghaus in a few nights time if the others don’t do the trick!
