It seems like years since we had any snow close to Christmas in the UK. We have had around 6 inches of the stuff and although it looks pretty it's damn cold. It never seemed that cold when I was a sprog. Snow men and snow cars were built everywhere which is a point. I haven't seen a single snowman around here. What's happened to the children of today?
How much have you got?
We've had less and less snow every year it seems. I live at 800 metres above the sea in Norway, and we have 10 centimetres or something. It's ridicules! We used to have two metres at least every winter when I was a kid.
Regarding snowmen, that's a good point. I think kids are more interested in PlayStation than healthy outdoor play these days. Durned parents should send them out! When I was a kid I were RARELY allowed to sit inside playing when the weather was nice outside.
None, never snows over here

Wow! 10cm in Norway. I'm looking out of a window on the east coast UK and it's deeper than that now and it's still coming down. Sodding freezing too. Yeah, I remember as a child winters could cut off whole communities for weeks but this is the first year for ages I remember any snow worth shouting about. Not many Christmas's ago I went out in a tee shirt and was positively warm.
Where's here Azrael?
Edit:
I got it from your profile - Montevideo. I guess if it snowed there it would be quite unusual.
We had tabout 3 centimetres last night in Cheshire (England). Lasted a few hours before heavy rainfall pummelled it into nonexistence
When I was a lad, I remember gettnig snow three feet deep. Just the once mind, but it was a great year!
Northern Ireland didnt get any that sat
It's just started raining here - I guess that was it for the snow then. I hate the slush, just hope it doesn't freeze now.
