Snowing in Partridgeland. Very fine and won't lay as ground too wet. But yay.
Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline.

It only ever snows in Scotchland and from time to time in the North West. Everyone knows that. All the forecast is about it snowing there. Don’t think anyone else will see any snow.

Hasn't snowed here, sadly lockdown takes all the fun out of me mocking the British about what they call snow.

Sleet in the Great Yarmouth area. I hate sleet. I remember the days when I lived on City Road in Norwich, big snowflakes slowly falling across the amber street lights. I was only young, but I remember me and my mum and dad walking down Brakendale Street in the evening. No cars. Silent. Snow.

I also recall in the US when I was studying bullshit. When it snowed we had what's called 'a snow day'. IE, all classes were cancelled. Good times ... we all basically hunkered-down in the dorm, got high as fuck and played on the XBOX.

The seaside always gets shitty snow because of the salt air.
I live about three miles from the coast but relatively quite high up and every year theres almost a physical line in the same place near the Rathgael roundabout where, if it snows, the Bangor (town) side of the dual carriageway will be rainy slush and on the carriageway on the other side of the roundabout towards where I live, will be lying snow.

All the comments about snow.
This is proper snow, and I wish I was there now, instead of here surrounded by a swamp.

I know it's more of an eggloo rather than an igloo, but we got our angles wrong.

Why didn't you just roll a giant snowball. Pack snow around the bottom to make it a dome. Then hollow it out. It's not as if you're going to use it to hunt narwhal over the winter or anything.
