06.01 snow business

Oh yes, another snow filled blog post. Up until last night, unlike much of the UK, we had avoided major snow,
well, upon waking this morning I was greeted with

Photobucket

For many, this will seem like nothing. But for where I live, this is a LOT of snow!

Sadly, I HAVE to go out, which means an outfit full of layers and the addition of wellies.
Here is the basis of my outfit, before cardigans and coat, scarf etc were added.

I'm expecting the village to be a ghost town, we have a large elderly population who won't want to venture out,
and although people have gone in to work, many left on foot, not brave enough to attempt driving.
My dad, on the other hand, decided snow was no match for him and left for his job on the other side of the city! I'm not sure if he's actually there yet (three hours after leaving!)

Have a great day,
and stay warm

Good luck in the snow ! Pretty dress you have on there!

Retro Chick said...

So much snow, and I don't even own wellies!

Isn't it nice before anyone walks on it and turns it to slush!

fayeee said...

I live in Manchester, and its AWFUL here! Second day not been in college and I REALLY WANT TO GO IN :( How sad that sounds ahha...but no one is in and cant get there. Yesterday my mums car got stuck when driving - bad times.
AND I work at the trafford centre...God knows how Im going to get there tonight!
Have fun with the snow...Yes wellies ARE an essential.

not having seen snow in 20+ years, that sight looks amazing to me. But I don't think I'd be able to stand the cold!
I hope your dad got to work (and back home) alright.

Eri said...

OMG! The snow has really hit you hard, it did a little bit in London but not much. I also made to work today with wellies and a lovely ski jumpsuit over everything else.
Hope it gets warmer soon.

Wow, that is a gorgeous picture of the snow but I totally don't envy you. In fact, my city is expecting a full blown blizzard today and tomorrow. I'm dreading it.
You look absolutely adorable in that outfit. I love the dress. I'm envious you manage to look so good during awful snow days. I just throw on jeans and a sweater and pray for summer. LOL!

Mrs. M. said...

i can totally relate-it's been like that here in Upstate NY for the past week. I do love the snow but i longingly look at all the shoes I can't wear and feel the sadness in my heart. I'm so over uggs.

determinedtoshine said...

Careful in the snow my love. I fell over yesterday and am suffering now!
Love your wellies :)

Snow is a big problem for us in EU nowadays. But your gorgeous with your today's outfit though!

Brave to go out. Well, I use to use my skiing pants as in Stockholm, we have between -18 degrees to -22 degress so not funny to be frozen §;-)

Enjoy...& keep warm.

The Blonde Duck said...

Wow! For that kind of snow, I'd look like the marshmellow man with so many sweaters. It's 40 today and I've got on a huge sweater and jeans with a camisole underneath--the other day in the house, I had to wear two sweatshirts and two pairs of socks!

Tina said...

It's so cold and snowy here in Sweden where I live too!

Pink Flower said...

Love your wellies they are fab! Luckily managed to make it into work today, no idea about tomorrow I think its meant to be getting worse again?!

Tights Lover said...

Ugh. Driving in the snow is always a nightmare. Good luck out there today!

Melissa~ said...

Love your boots.
Thanks for your comment!!

Sherin said...

Love the picture of the snow! Your wellies look really good as well.

beingdena said...

hey sweets. love that close-up photo of you.

the snow melted as soon as it hit the ground here. I still didn't dare to go to Bicester village just in case I couldn't get back to London. Have to admit I laugh at Brits panicking over so little snow. In Sweden I would wake up and be all snowed under and everything went on as normal- the buses, trains...everything on time.
