It's snowing!

1gear,

Don't worry about your spelling etc.   Just think about your overall contribution.   You're welcome here so just enjoy yourself and treat everybody just as you'd hope to be treated yourself.    

There's nowt as queer as folk...  

Spelling police    

We'll all be banned because we're not literary geniuses/genii   next.

(edit: not referring to your goodself PB, I just can't be bovvered to read thro' the whole thread to find out who)

It's stopped again 

[border-rider]

About 5 cm here but it's stopped, and it looks well above freezing from the way it's falling off things.

The students at the end of the street have been busy -

No way... I have cast the runes and looked into the used tealeaves... in May, Rogerzilla will have a rush of blood to the head and try an experimental ban on smilies...

There's 3" of snow deposited in Portsmouth, courtesy of the huge fluffy flakes earlier. 

On past form, that's as good as it'll ever get down here. 

You're so ungrateful.

This is the most snow I've seen here in 20 years.

He's gonig to need to drink a lot of tea to do that, Claire  

I've got no problems with people whose grammar is poor because English isn't their first language.  Just the same as I'd be very tolerant of someone who genuinely has the sort of learning difficulties which makes seeing spelling mistakes hard for them.

In the absence of any good reason, I'm afraid that I tend to see poor spelling and punctuation as evidence that people don't give a shit.  Which is sad.

0.3 here.

It's not falling off things here. I'm listening to the sound of branches snapping as I type.

Met Office radar.

[Phil]

Finally! We have SNO in East London!

I live just round the corner from work so I probably don't get a skiving working from home day.

Must have been the haste with which you posted

Two U's(Pe and Geography) and a B(photography)
You can make your mind up.
It was the exam that let me down in geography in pe, my physical side of pe was quite good.

You can make your own mind up from that. That was at AS.

You can take the piss out of that if you like aswell.

There's 4 to 5 inches here in Abingdon.  Though I'm wary or reporting further in case I make a grammatical or spelling error    Was a nice thread...

We're turning lorries back now that are heading down the A34, a lot of the runs are coming back due to the weather. Our Irlam depot isn't running at all today the Gateshead and Doncaster drivers are reporting 6"-10" up there.
Scottish one has managed to get down half way but it's fun all over.
I'm now waiting for the call from the other supervisor saying he won't make it in to let me go home at 6 

[Wowbagger]

Snowing here now. Temperature about -1°C according to the thermometer I think is the most accurate.

Hi FF, a group of us walked down to the Spread earlier for a couple of pints, now about 6 in. I reckon.  HAd a good snow ball fight on the way back.  Good places to sledge tomorrow?

Well there you go.  Your superiority proven.
Some people aren't very good at some things.  My spelling and grammar is not terribly good and my trypings even worse.
My daughter is a good artists, but has difficulties with spelling in particular, we've endured much anguish, time, cost and rows trying different things to help her, but it doesn't work, she's not lazy, she just doesn't get it and  it will work against her in the long run.  C'est la vie, we could keep flogging the dog, but there's little point.

So, unless there's a back-story here I'm not aware of, (beat me if I'm wrong), it appears as a relatively casual observer  that the spelling/grammar point has been clearly made and picking the scab again appears bullying.
I enjoy coming here, but reading through the thread reminds of the playground.  Sorry.  I found it an unpleasant sidewshow whilst I'm here for some R&R.
FF.

Having chipped in back on page 41 about Wiltshire's "extreme warning", I am disappointed to report less than 1 cm so far this evening.  Actually, disappointed does not even come close.  I may even have to go to work tomorrow!

Sounds great (though am on the wagon for 3 months... and obviously irritable  ).  Sledging you say?  There's a cracking hill over Sunningwell way, halfway through the village close to the pond going up towards Boars Hill.  If you can get there (it's of course walkable) that might prove exciting!  Otherwise there's a small slope or two in Tilsley Park.

Enjoy!  I have to struggle into work, we've a deadline to get products to Munich by Monday, but I'm not expecting the dry-ice to arrive from Heathrow or DHL to collect or planes to be flying, but I'm making the products regardless!  God loves a trier (or is that tryer)!

Snowing steadily here now.  No sign of Butterfly yet

[hellymedic]

Brent Borderlands have about 4cm snow. Buses are still running. 2010/1/5  23.45

[Jaded]

I'd better look out the window - it wasn't snowing 30 mins ago.
