I'm dreaming of a white Christmas (UK version)


Recommended Posts

I took a picture of a tree in my back yard a few moments ago using my phone's camera.

 

(The file is too big to upload, and I don't use third party image hosting, therefore I'll probably need to be walked through how to do this)

 

The reason I created this thread is because The last time I remember Wolverhampton, UK. having snowfall this close to Christmas without going over the 25th of December, was back in 2010.

 

I find snowfall at Christmas to be special, and (even though I'm 42 years old) magical.

 

Please share your recent Christmas feeling pictures of any snowfall you may have.

(Everyone's free to share, but this was mostly for those who felt the last few Christmas's gone just felt like any regular day, as it were).

Yeah, it's pretty unusual to get snow before Christmas here so it was a lovely surprise. I took my son out in the snow and he was so excited by it all. Here's a couple of pictures I took yesterday:

Oops! Didn't realize this thread was region locked. :o

It's not region locked, my point was that the last time UK had snow during Christmas before or during the 25th was 7 years ago, everyone is free to share their image, it just needs to be personal, and not commercial or Google searched images.

I grew up in Wolverhampton. It hasn't been white in many, many years.

Yes, my daughter was trying to make an igloo (just to the left of the snowman)

Just an observation, it's a little strange going outside into my back yard at 2 in the morning, and being able to see quite clearly for quite some distance. A little akin to an early evening's light in bad weather. Usually it's difficult to see clearly the same distances on a clear night.

Damn, and here I thought it was 'cold' and its 60F /16C! :p But the irony of the whole thing is: At Amazon they have, in the parking lot, bins of snow/ice melt chained to the light poles, and they also have a sign that will turn blue if it drops to freezing, to alert you about the dangerous conditions!

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

    • The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.
    • While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
