We woke up to some nice snow so we went out and had fun. Eva built Frosty while I skidded about like a 5 year old... Enjoy the photos.

Well Nomis, would you believe the Tin Hat is actually a baking tin!!

Evilmac! You must do something about your spelling. Don't they have schools in Kentucky, or are they schools on making home brew?...

i've got the snow, i need an "eva"

[catmint]

OOooooo you're so lucky...all we got was a sprinkle and it was all washed away by the rain.

Frosty looks a real smart guy

[Texas Angel Ang]

Scribbler... please fly your private jet to come get me so that I can play in the snow toooooo!

Although you probably wouldn't be able to see me due to the 10 layers of blankets on me LOL.

[evilmac64]

Scribbler i couldn't get in school. They had a no shirt no shoes no service rule. I do know how to make home brew though how did you know.

Thanks for your comments.... I'm afraid Eva is not for hire allis...

I'll be over soon Texas Angel but I didn't think you had snow in Texas!! I have a great technique for getting under blankets...

Evil! I've notified the FBI about your illicit still so you might get a SWAT Team raiding you...

Frosty is melting plus his carrot nose fell off....

[Texas Angel Ang]

Ooooh we have some snow... nothing like the pictures you have shown! I'm originally from Houston, so any snow at this time in Dallas, is a huge ordeal for me LOL.

We can make mini Frosty's but that's about it and he usually disappears the next morning, no note or anything, isn't that just rude??

You have a technique to get under blankets..... hmmmmmmm, should I act surprised or intrigued?? LOL.

Well Texas Angel you've taught me about snow in Texas. I though it was big hats, prtty Angels and oil rigs...

When I was young...(When Dinosaurs roamed the Earth) . we had lots of snow, but we still went to school or work.

Now its rare we get snow, but we only need 2mm and England grinds to a halt... Except me in my 4 X4...

This recent snow is the most we've had in many years so no one is prepared for it....... Although its only a few inches deep, kids don't go to school, people don't go to work and Airports are closed. I remember when the snow was 3 feet deep; our village was cut off for 2 days.

My PA had her flight cancelled on Thursday but yesterday got a late flight to Liverpool, which is over 3 hours away by train. She got to me at 21:45 so I organised emergency back up.

I bet its another 15 or 20 years before it snows again...

You should be surpised and intrigued TA, but lets just keep it a secret!!!....

scribbler i'm impressed with your wheelchair in the snow , i'm grounded , well almost i can get along paths in my garden as my pa cleared them all for me, and i can get just outside my front gate as nextdoor cleared that, but as for wheelchairs in snow!! i have a storm wheelchair, a meyra optima wheelchair and a little kart come scooter thing built for me to do dog agility on and none of these will go beyond my drive without me needing a push back, i was really disapointed as i got all wrapped up and dogs in their coats expecting to enjoy a snow walk, but we just couldnt get anywhere, so i threw snowballs at the dogs instead for an hour on the grass by my drive!!, did get dogs to pull me a little on nephews sledge but they soon got bored of that game!
so i'm very impressed with your wheelchair in the snow film

Hi wheelywendy,

Thanks for you comments as I was thinking of upgrading my Invacare Mirage to a Storm. Years ago I had a front wheel drive Meyra (the big German chair) It was ideal for off roading as I love long country walks (I still say walks..

This Mirage cost less than £2,000 and has been brilliant for 5 years. I found it best riding over the virgin snow, as soon as I got to parts where Eva had walked, I noticed my wheels spin so I just wriggled around a bit...

It still has the original batteries and even coped with some rough tracks in Africa. The only problem is the lack of suspension and solid tyres, plus its getting old. (like me)..

I'm having a demo of the Storm, but if I don't like it I may well stick to another Mirage. Thanks for the tip; but all the snow will have gone when he brings the Storm on Friday so I wont be able to snow test it..

we do have big hats, BEAUTIFUL ANGELS , but the oil rigs are getting the big thumbs down here lately. My friend just got laid off, the oilfield business isn't liking Bush too much right now!

But back to more interesting topics -- you were on Earth when dinosaurs were here?? Were they scary ??

I remember when I was in fifth grade, we got out of school early because there were flurries (in Houston) something we were not used to. I remember walking home trying to catch them on my tongue. Wow -- childhood flashback.

I'm glad your PA got back in time for you -- always good to have a backup plan!

Don't worry your secret is safe with me
