So it's starting to look very likely that I'm not actually going to get home tonight. There's so much snow back in the South East that my dad couldn't get out of the driveway to go to work. And my dad never misses a day of work. Seriously, he once went in with a high fever only to be sent home because he was hallucinating.

But if the roads are like that, I dread to think what the trains will be like. I checked on the website to see if they'd been canceled or delayed, but so far everything is good to go. I guess we'll see when I get to London. If they are canceled, I'll be STUCK IN LONDON. Which I guess isn't a bad thing since my cousin lives in London and is actually going to Crowborough tomorrow anyways, so he's offered me a lift if I can't get a train home, which is super nice of him.

According to my mother, people have been abandoning cars. Apparently, my dad met some guy who had left his car at a pub in the middle of nowhere and walked back to Crowborough. Which, doesn't sound that amazing, till you find out that it's a 7 mile hike. In snow. 8|

anyways here are a few pictures my mom/sister took this morning:













What the shit England, why is it snowing in December?. It never snows before March in the south east WHAT IS GOING ON 8|

I JUST WANT TO GO HOOOOME IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK?

ffffff nice. That's about what we got last year, and then once it had gone away a bit, we got more. :I

The old neighbourhood was so cool about it though, a bunch of people had come out and were shoveling the street because it's a side street and doesn't get cleaned by the city.

It was good they were cleaning it, because yeah, a few people got stuck and were just like WELL FUCK THIS and went back into their house for like tea or something.

lmfao. Going back into the house for tea sounds like a marvelous plan. And our city doesn't clean snow up. Evar. Though I suppose thats because I don't live in CANADA

[identity profile] rivercoyote.livejournal.com 2009-12-18 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
YEAH. We get snowplows and city workers with pickup trucks full of rock salt or whatever clearing up all the main roads.

Possibly because snow + transit system that thousands of people rely on + cars.

[identity profile] purapea.livejournal.com 2009-12-18 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
POSSIBLY.

We sometimes have the rock salt things when its really bad but no snowplows

YOU HAVE MORE SNOW THAN WE DO that's unfair give it to me

it's actually supposed to snow here in December though the past few years that didn't happen so I'm quite amazed.

also, because I didn't get to comment on your previous entry I'll say it here: that animation is really damn adorable. and I want to see that video.

HEY WAT NO COMPLAINING, 'FOO! This is amazing for England, usually it doesn't snow at all any more! Which is goddamn boring, so make your snowballs and have a fight and lose all feeling in your fingers because THAT'S WHAT WINTER IS ABOUT, BIATCH B|

In other news, baawwwwwwww I love you and send you internet hot chocolate <3 Walking in the snow isn't all that bad, honest... *totally not biased because it's my favourite weather ever...*

[identity profile] purapea.livejournal.com 2009-12-18 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I actually.. don't like snow all that much 8D

I mean it's fun for the first five minutes and then it just horrible and AUUGH MY FEET ARE SO COLD ETC. Also i'm originally from a tropical climate, so I can't actually DEAL WITH THIS WEATHER. It's not even snowing in Newport and I'm already wearing snow gear.

[identity profile] hikaridonya.livejournal.com 2009-12-18 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
...People have abandoned their cars? Um. How deep IS the snow? Seriously?!

At least this time we're not freaking out over 1cm of snow, and it's kinda legit. Because it looks like quite a bit from the pictures.

Your garden is very pretty ♥

[identity profile] purapea.livejournal.com 2009-12-18 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
It's England. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE DEEP

but apparently about 8inches or so.

You should see the pictures of it when the cherry blossom is in bloom c:

[identity profile] hikaridonya.livejournal.com 2009-12-18 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
...Touché.

Okay. 8inches, that's okay. I can respect the freaking out in that case.

vfdklml I should. Which means I'll either have to visit you, or you'll have to get me some of those pictures :P

[identity profile] purapea.livejournal.com 2009-12-18 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
OR BOTH. You should totally visit. My house is awesome :D

CHERRY BLOSSOMS

[identity profile] hikaridonya.livejournal.com 2009-12-18 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I bet it is. I mean, if your garden looks like that.

fkdjsnksnfcdjks Oh. And the lanterns. So pretty *w*

[identity profile] purapea.livejournal.com 2009-12-19 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I know *___* soooo pretty. You really should come visit though! I bet my mom would love you meet you c:

snowww *____*

I wish we got snow here :(

:C but you have animals with venom instead

[identity profile] meevees.livejournal.com 2009-12-18 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
GOD I HATE SNOW :|.

8 inches is pretty impressive though. They might actually consider cancelling school here if we go 8 inches. Maybe.

[identity profile] purapea.livejournal.com 2009-12-19 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
IT'S OKAY FOR THE FIRST 10 MINUTES AND THEN IT JUST GETS ANNOYING

It's the most we've seen in this country since we've been here @_@

[identity profile] meevees.livejournal.com 2009-12-19 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
It's pretty to look at pictures of. And nice on Christmas. That's about it.

Damn man. We're expecting over a foot from the storm coming through later today ;-;. And at our house in New Hampshire the snowbanks will probably be taller than my dad by mid January >>;.

[identity profile] purapea.livejournal.com 2009-12-19 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
...dude. That is a lot of snow.

[identity profile] meevees.livejournal.com 2009-12-19 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah :|. And to be fair that's just the banks that build up from like, plowing the roads and the driveways and stuff, but it still usually averages like 3 or 4 feet on the ground up there.

[identity profile] purapea.livejournal.com 2009-12-19 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I would not like to be somewhere where it snows that much. I mean, a little snow is fun but that is just ridiculous 8|

[identity profile] meevees.livejournal.com 2009-12-19 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I hate it ahhhh. My dad totally loves it because he's into snowmobiling and stuff. But yeah. I'm moving to California the moment the opportunity presents itself.

This is going to sound horrible. I was seriously expecting much more snow! XD But oh wow, it looks so pretty!!!

Everyone's getting snow. I'm so glad that I came home for Christmas, as we are getting snow tomorrow. :3 yay snow!

[identity profile] purapea.livejournal.com 2009-12-19 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
England gets like NO snow at all. Ever. So this is sort of a big deal for us xD

YAY SNOW.

How is your christmas present, I want one so bad 8(
