Just as well Childline wasn't operational in those days, LenLenGlover said:The above picture was taken by my daughter in our back garden around 8:00 am.
eight and half inches by our back step but deeper still further down.
In 1987 we took our then 22 month daughter out and stood her in our front garden and the snow was just below her neck. Needless to say we removed her quickly!

I’ve just seen some Rochdale fans in Cricklewood/Kilburn. I hope the match goes ahead for two reasons; it’s going to be an arduous long hike back to The North West in these conditions especially if the match is postponed and more importantly, there’s football on the box tonight.JohnBoyUK said:
Record low attendance for a Wembley match tonight me thinks.Solidgone said:I’m surprised that The spurs v Rochdale match hasn’t been postponed. I’m sure the pitch is okay but for spectators getting there from up t’north is likely to be a mare.
Nailed on for an upset.1 -
What are they doing in Cricklewood or Kilburn, I could think of better places to hang around in London!Solidgone said:

The biggest issue for many schools is the drop off at the start of the day.Addick Addict said:
I am amazed by the number of schools that are closed. I can only think that this is down to schools and authorities being scared of being investigated or even sued should a child get injured on the play ground. I do not recall, back in the 70s, ever having a day off school for snow and certainly not on a day where we have an absolute maximum of two inches of the stuff.SWEnglandAddick said:It’s -3 here and we’ve had maybe a centimetre of snow and people are acting like the world is ending.
In the 70s, many, many more children would have walked to school. Now, very few children walk, especially at primary schools (this is despite attempts by schools to encourage more children to walk).
A lot of the roads around schools struggle to cope with the volume of traffic at the beginning and end of the day. This is exacerbated by people parking inconsiderately and driving impatiently. There are far too many schools where the beginning and end of the day are a bit hairy even in good weather. Add icy roads to the mix, and it's a genuinely dangerous situation.
It's never an easy decision for a head to close a school, but they will be aware that they are potentially putting children at risk if they open a school in snowy or icy weather. Added to this are the considerations that some staff may not be able to make it in, and that there are some parents that simply won't send their children in if there's snow on the ground.
It's also worth noting that, despite all of the above, school closures remain rare.4 -

You were warned the other day @eaststandmike!! I'll remove the flag when you're flying home!!!eaststandmike said:Still no snow here in the Maldives, mind you the temp has dropped from 33c to 31c so I might have soup as a starter tonight to warm up

Absolutely all of this does make total sense. This isn't severe though (in Sidcup it is already melting) and I can't help thinking though that A & E will have moref injured children resulting from being off school than had they been in school - teenagers especially will be out sledging!Gillis said:

Feckers have cancelled my weekly football booking as the groundskeeper doesn't want to work in the snow... All he has to do is unlock and then lock a gate! That is literally it as it's an all weather pitch1

Had to laugh this morning walked by a fella digging his car out, clearing his driveway and the footpath, it took well over an hour and and he was just finishing as I returned home to collect a different set of dogs. Telling me he was going to shower before taking his good lady shopping, I returned to see his car gone, exercising the dogs and returning once again past his house to see a snowplough doing the rounds had chucked it back again while he was out. 9

Yes a familiar experience over here in Canada, plus the fact that you get a nice fine if you dont clear the pavement outside your house of snow after a heavy snowfall.T_C_E said:Had to laugh this morning walked by a fella digging his car out, clearing his driveway and the footpath, it took well over an hour and and he was just finishing as I returned home to collect a different set of dogs.
