Word Of The Week – Weather

This week has been an interesting week due to the ‘beast from the east’ and so my word of the week has to be

Weather

as it feels like we have been watching and waiting for the weather all week.

It was predicted that we would get very bad snowfall from Monday afternoon. Train services were cancelled and then forced to apologise when the snow wasn’t as bad as they thought it would be. With a small amount of snow on the ground on Tuesday everything really took a turn for the worst from 10am. At 11am Ethan’s school decided it was closing from 1pm and I was doing an early nursery run to pick up Little E.

The big snow arrived on Wednesday morning and we had our first official snow day. The children were very excited and we were out walking in the snow by 9am in the morning. We did start to build a snowman but I failed miserably. I also started to get a headache because of the cold.

As I write this we are on our second snow day and we have spent the day in the house. Ethan is going stir crazy and I have no idea if there will be school or nursery tomorrow.

I was meant to be heading into London on Friday but as we have been watching the weather we have been keeping an eye on Storm Emma. Being that most of the train services have been cancelled this week I’m putting my London trip on hold until next week. I really don’t fancy being stranded somewhere in a snow storm.

It really has been a week of watching, talking and worrying about the weather. Tuesday was the first time I ever had to drive in snow that had settled so it also tested me this week. Darren has been out driving in it most days so I have spent many hours worrying about him in this weather. I really hope this cold spell passes soon.

  1. It has been ‘hasn’t it? Everyone’s talking about and watching the weather. We’ve had our first snow day today and it’s really coming down out there now. Glad we’ve nowhere we have to be over the weekend, just hoping it’ll be gone by Monday x Thanks for sharing with #WotW

  2. I have always hated driving in the snow with a passion. My husband has only been driving a year and he loves it, but it doesn’t stop me from worrying when he goes out. The weather really has been dismal this week hasn’t it. #wotw

  3. Ahh! Your week sounds a lot like ours. The timeline of the snowfall is what we had too.
    We had our 3rd snow day today and I’ve had enough of it. I think it’s because I had to go out shopping in it. Tesco isn’t delivering to us until at least next week because of the snow. Hmmf. x

  4. Like you my laptop is constantly on BBC Weather. Just so scary and exciting at the same time as we seldom get snow. Are we really getting some this time? We did! We tried enjoying it as we dont know when we will get it again. #wotw
