discussion Snow Day model making :)

[Guest]

So.....who "has" to take the day off due to the dreaded white fluffy stuff, and has thought "might as well catch up on some modelling, then"...?

I'm not sure yet, but fingers crossed !!

Cheers, Neil

I'm a school caretaker no snow day for me and my school is open

My office is the lower ground floor of my home - no chance, got far too much to do anyway.

I'm at home but not because of the snow I'm looking after my poorly daughter. Which means no modelling for me as I do all my modelling at work.....BOO HOO!

What job do you have and are there any vacancies. Lol

When the weather turns cold, I always think of the poor souls on the eastern front winter months WW2.

 

[MORIARTY1177]

Sorry Ian I fear I may have misled you slightly there. What I actually mean is that I model during my breaks at work not that I build models for a living (that would be too much like a dream come true) I'm a sign maker by trade and on the plus side the workshop I work in means my work bench is 2m x 3m with the same size storage underneath but on the down side means I only get an hour a day at it and that's if I'm in the workshop. One day I will have me a man cave at home..... One day!

OK Just how bad is this snow. I only see small snippets on the news, and its mostly about the whole of Europe. Come on guys, all this talk about being stuck in the snow and not one photo?

We had a snow storm last sunday night. Monday I dug the car out and went to work.

bummer.

It's a light covering, not really worth going overboard about .. the news dramatises it beyond belief to be honest, and i'm sure half of all this "stay at home" and "its a disaster" is a health and safety insurance claim get-out

How things have changed since i was young, we'd still be at school with our coats on, people would still be going to work, and as teenagers sometimes we'd just sod off to the beach on bikes or in our three-wheelers for a BBQ and that was 90 odd miles away.

You have snow much worse than this as a quick downfall so i'm lead to believe from friends over there.

The snow is pretty bad here and certainly we cannot get out of the estate in a car. This morning at 11.30., our post lady pushed the mail through the door as usual. I take my hat off to all posties and post office workers. You do a great job for us all. We will moan loudly when a letter goes astray but we rarely appreciate you when things go well (normally). So thank you!

Well Darlo got one days heavy snow and it's all melting now, and anyway a care assistant turns in for work what ever the weather. Can't put a dust sheet over a resident, I think they'd complain, and CQC would be very annoyed.:grinball1:Joke honest.

So modelling on days off only, as usual.

I was planning a quiet day at the bench, mon & tues are my 2 days off this week

Grandson's school was shut so that idea was put on hold

 

[Ian M]

We are in the 7 year cycle- My theory- Snow in Denmark is not a sure thing every year, but when it comes proper, it comes proper! We had serious snow last year, some places had over a meter. That closed a few places off. I missed the first work day, as it took me three hours to dige the car out. lol. By that time I was knackered! This year we got a good foot of snow which together with high winds did make some big drifts. but again, nothing that bad. We managed the run to work in the little Swift, (could not be chuffed to get the 4x4 out of the carport).

I recall as a lad walking the two miles to primary school in snow well over the knee and having monster snow ball fights in the park on the way home. Even those days snow ball fights where banned in the school grounds.

Snow, what snow?

This is a mere dusting, but the schools shut and the country goes to pot!

If you want to see a real winter here, go on you tube and type in winter 62/63. I started work in the October just before the freeze, which started Christmas Eve and stayed until March the following year! If you do look at the old film, take a look at the bloke on his motor bike going under the Suspension bridge on the frozen River Dee at Chester....That is my old school mate, he killed himself a year later when out on his bike.

When he was on his bike, I was in a warmish car, along with my mates, driving up and down the same river.....Now that's cold!
