Steve, The snow the last few years has not really settled in this area and I am about a mile or 2 from the NEC. So don't worry about getting stuck here! The last time that happened was 15 years ago, the year we moved here and the everyone from that part of the motorway was taken to the NEC for the night! I also hate the NEC when shows are on as it takes my husband up to an hour to get out of the car park at work near the NEC and he is always late home. Have a good time. Jacky :-)

I wonder if we will get any snow this time, I have will have the camera ready just in case. June xx

I'm supposed to be having an intensive driving course over the weekend and my test on Monday. I could really do without the snow!!! Go to crufts theres no point in sitting at home when you could be out at an event like that. Sx

the forecast I saw says its due on Sunday

The weather is going to be delayed in Norfolk this weekend, we are going to have to make do with todays again.

OMG I have been delegated to keep my son out of the way whilst they set up a surprise birthday party. The plan was to go shooting, but if it's snow or rain that will be off. Time to put together PLAN B. Whatever that is!

Sounds quite tiring! Light rain is forecasted for here. :-)
