Wrong...see example above.

Not quite Shawnee, because lays with an s implies present tense, which means it must be the verb lay, not the past tense of lie.

Yesterday the snow lay on the ground. = Correct
[Today] The snow lays on the ground. = Incorrect

Well poo, Clod...I lie (lay?) corrected. :)

In my enthusiasm that I finally had a handle on something I missed the "s" factor. Thanks! :blush:

I've changed my original vote. I've decided that I would much rather have a lay than a stick.

Who's handing these things out, again?

I was always taught that *things* lay and *people* lie.

I'm afraid that ain't so right either, Elsp. Lay is something done by some thing or person to another thing or person; lie with or to or of itself.

:lol:

Of course there is, it accumulated.;)

Particularly after the snowblower got done piling it.

Wasn't that fun?

I'd say that too if I opened my door and saw it.

We are forecast snow tonight. I am SO excited! The TV says it will snow for 6 hours +

UK Weather Warning from the BBC:
This will be more snow than I have seen since I was at school! The fact that I do not have any suitable footwear is not going to spoil this for me - I think I'll wear my Crocs as usual and bring a pair of thick socks to pad round the office in.

I can't wait to walk across Victoria Park in the snow & look at all the frozen traffic round the side of the park, skidding and cursing and freezing their redundant little paws on cold steering wheels, while I stride proudly on like Captain Oates.

Pictures or extreme humility to follow tomorrow.

Don't do that! :speechls:

Where is my 10-15cms?! (I hope none of you hear that too often)

We have a layer about 1cm thick - in places where it has "drifted" against a wall.

I was this disappointed once in my life. When my Mum told me I could definitely feed the reindeer next year as I'd be old enough then. And a couple of months later admitted it wouldn't happen because Father Christmas didn't exist. "But, can I still feed the reindeer?" I asked, poor simple child.

It's still snowing. But snow later in the day doesn't really count. Like getting a late birthday present. I'll finally forgive the world if it does reach 10cm, but frankly that's unlikely.

I do have another reason for this rather petulant attitude. I decided to be weather-appropriate for once in my life and wore a new pair of trousers to work. Frankly they are too tight still, by at least 2 weeks. And they pinched my flaps all the way in, leaving me more than a little regretful at my choice. I also feel I have to hide again today because my thighs look like two grey pinstriped sausages about to split their skins. BIG sigh. Silly, because 2 weeks ago I wouldn't even have fit into them.

Edited: I can upload photos now, and it's still snowing so I'm a little bit happier... These were taken on Victoria Park - general scene and grit lorry

More Snow Pics
 

I know they don't even count as snow pics as it's a mere dusting, but if willpower had anything to do with it, we'd have had a blizzard I promise you. Snow is now quite rare in most English towns & cities, so this really is a big deal for me.

New Walk, my way into work:

Your town is so pretty!
