If Krusewalker comes back tell him I had a blonde moment too There is a drop down thingy under the main map and then you pick a region.

Granny Nippy!

We've got big, fat snowflakes and are on a met office warning of 2-4 inches by morning! Great. My route to work is through a village called Shilton and I have to go down and up "the dip". If we have that much snow I'll be getting down allright but someone may need to help me up

But in Bristol, it is said to be "pitching".

Does anyone else in any other areas of the country have any other different sayings for the "sticking" of snow.
I did a thread on this a while back
Here in Devon we call it lying. Funny how everywhere has it's own expressions!
Hi Pidge hope you got to work ok!

Lol! I've never, ever heard it called pitching! We've always said it's lying or laying down South, but then I'm a Londoner really, but that's still down South aint it!!!

What a night on the South Coast, I thought the roof was going to blow off, and the rain was unbelievable. My local town Worthing is flooded, roads closed etc. but we seem to have escaped it in the countryside. We had one month's rain in a few hours apparently
