Big Freeze UK

Just thought I'd see how the UK users are coping with the snow that's hit. I recently moved here from the tropics so I'm FUCKING FREEZING!!! Although school closing is quite fun (:

I dont understand how im supposed to respond to this. 
 
ermmm, Yes?

Big freeze? Pfft! Ain't no thang compared to last year.  
Things better get a whole lot worse if it want's to be considered a "big" anything. Right now it's just a pitiful dusting of snow!

I hate snow. Luckily it's not as bad as last year....yet.

Someone told me that a relative of theirs who lives in South Africa said that the South African news reported that the UK is bracing itself for its coldest December on record.
 
Another thing the government is not telling us then.

The news are making a huge deal about nothing. 
 
That being said, I don't know how I'm going to walk to work in this blizzard.

You better be joking, I'M IN BED AND I'M COLD! Guess I'll have to get used to this sort of thing now. "

The one time of year my dogs don't look completely out of place. Its funny seeing them re-introduce themselves to it each year.

It's gotten a few inches deeper since yesterday and I found this icicle hanging from my bedroom window this morning. Car won't get out of my street (live at the bottom of a hill) and the local shops shelves are looking a little bare. Great!

 I'm guessing you're from the south, since they haven't had much snow down there. Here in the north east it's quite a bit worse than it was last year. We've had more snow, and rather than all coming down mostly at once like it did last year, it has been snowing on and off for nearly a week now, which makes it far worse.

It's pretty obvious that we're on track for a cold winter. With us having such heavy snowfall so early, all the heat in the ground from summer is now gone much earlier than usual. The government doesn't need to tell us, it's simple logic. "

" @hunkaburningluv: North East England. I should have been more clear about that. "

It's an hour and a half commute into Uni for me, and with intermittent train cancellations I'm pretty worried that I'll miss one of my exams.

I saw a bus slide over somebodies lawn, its was crazy awesome

Its not too bad here (Coventry, West Midlands) but its still snowing every day. Got to walk to work today. Hopefully it all clears up in a couple of weeks.

I couldn't get to my university interview today. Hopefully they'll have time to re-schedule it.

This is why we have been stereotyped to only ever talk about the weather. Also, yeah snows pretty deep, good job Uni is a 5 minute walk.

 you guys are getting pumped with the weather! It's still heavy up here -we've had at least a foot and a half of snow, which is far out with what we get normally. "

" @MattyFTM: Dude... no. I live in East Lothian and its been pretty fucking mental here, but it still doesn't compare to last year.

Snows pretty tame round here at the moment (Rutland, england) but god damn me the temperature is fucking atrocious!  
 
It probably seems worse because this house has no heating or double glazing but believe me right now my bed is actually the coldest place in the house  - and i managed to burn my hand when my hot water bottle splurted boiling water over me - haha! 
 
But yeah, soon as the heat comes back ill be happy, the snow aint an issue, its the fucking temperature! 

Last year was worse because it snowed, rained, then froze over. I remember sliding out of the car park at work sideways because it was so icy. 

How long till everything collapses again?

Newcastle is a bit chilly at the mo'.

I think all the snow in Cornwall's passed now, it's still pretty icy, but that's about it.

The hill I need to walk down to get to the shops is covered in snow and ice like the rest of the campus. I guess I'll need to go down there at some point to avoid starving. Otherwise I'm enjoying the snow.

" Not to sneer, but it's always amusing with the UK whenever it snows - even by a tiny amount. The whole of the UK considers it the friggin' apocalypse. "

I had to walk to school in -21C here in Sweden. You Brits close your schools just because it's cold and snowy? 

The UK has never been known for handling and controlling snowfall. Not mocking, just stating. But on another note, what are the expected lowpoints in the UK this winter, or how could does it usually get?

It's pretty bad for me in the North East. On the plus side I've got a day off college though :) 

Preston Lancashire here. Barely a sprinkle. It's snowing right now but not very heavy at all. It's still super cold though.

No snow here :(
 
Fucking colder than a nun's cunt, though.

Durham, it's absolutely fucking it down as we speak. We have about 8 inches at its lowest point.  
 
I can't leave the house :(

Anyone from Newcastle? Because it's freezing here. I had to wait half an hour in the cold for the bus to uni, got there and got told my seminar was cancelled because the lecturer's garage had collapsed due to the weight of the snow.

There's hardly been any snow here in Portsmouth, there's meant to be lots tonight though. It's still so cold here though.

Well I'll be damned. The only food I have in my flat is half a pizza, and it's snowing pretty hard now. Might venture to Iceland in a bit...

I'm in the West Mids and it's been a good amount of snow I think! Not enough to bring things to a stand still but enough to make snowthings out of! 
 
Also a lot of people are saying that it's not as bad as last year. Hasn't it started earlier this year though? I wonder if it will get worse than last year because of that if it has.
