Good thing you have that 4WD, eh? ;)

Some serious flake action going on here, I reckon there must be 1/2 an inch already. According to the weather add-on I have for Firefox it's currentl 0°C outside.

Must be in the Dunstable and Luton area as it seems the snow has knocked out VM in the Dunstable and Luton areas

I cannot believe it is snowing in London, there is snow in Shepherds Bush, and sleet in Isleworth, what is going on with this weather.

Come through town on the M8. then take the Great Western Road until you get past Arrochar. There's plenty, so long as you don't mind walking uphill a wee bit to get at it. ;)

No, I'm afraid it's still very much Jimny-sized on the interior. :disturbd: Barely room to swing a cat in there. Tis fine though, we bought it mainly to use as a rescue vehicle, so there only needs to be room for a driver, a few bags of shopping .... and the time rotor, of course.

D'you think we've managed to confuse the folks who didn't read the UFO thread yet? :D

I somehow convinced myself :erm: Not sure how I managed it. The idea of a Halloween camp, with fancy dress Friday night, booze, and a bonfire Saturday, seemed appealing. I thought, "Tent... camping... haven't done that since I was in the cub scouts", and through misty eyes I booked for the trip :erm: Probably freeze to death.

After last nights snow there was a big freeze, it took twenty minutes to clean the windows so I could drive to work.

There where chucks of ice on the windows, boy was it cold -5.

6" of snow here in Oslo and Bærum yesterday... Getting to work was slow....

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 
I set off for the school run at 8:30am today (we slept in so didn't set off earlier, like planned).

School is 2.5 miles from my house and the roads were covered in snow, so was gridlocked all through town. We got to school at 9:45am :shocked: (usually takes 15-20 mins in rush hour)

Then i had to get to work which is 3.5 miles from school - didn't get to work til 10:45am :shocked::shocked::shocked::shocked:

Chaos!!

I spent most of Tuesday at the Chill Factore indoor ski slope in Manchester. Some school near Oldham had block-booked a load of lessons but the kids couldn't get in - because of snow!

And there was me driving up the M11 and it was absolutley peeing down, and yet a BMW didn't seem bothered driving at 70+, no lighs poor visablity.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 
Had some snow here overnight.

Not enough to really shout about - just enough to cover the ground, make it exceptionally cold and slippery, and generally cause chaos.....

Ground totally covered here...and still snowing lightly..

I went for a nice walk in it last night, reminiscing about the days of listening to radio to see if school was closed!

Snow was all but gone this morning leaving really icy paths......my usual 5 minute walk to the bus stop took 15!

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 
We've had snow on and off over the mountain tops for weeks now - I've more or less forgotten to notice it, except when we get a rare flurry at our altitude, which isn't often as it tends to be sleet at best by the time it arrives here.

Still, I'm off for a walk just now, so I'll take the camera - Ben Lomond has a nice white cap at the moment.

lauzjp 05-01-2009 15:01

Am ontop of a hill in Luton, still got inches up here - had another little flurry a couple of hours ago - pretty! :D Am not looking forward to it freezing over tonight though...

Thank you ... I only managed to get one decent one in the failing light - and everywhere north of here is cloudy, so I couldn't get anything of the other mountains, which is a pity as they're really snowy. Still, here's Ben Lomond, shrouded in cloud and snow. You can just about see the summit above the clouds, slightly right-of-centre in this photo.

Stopped and no further sign..However looking at the weather report it's set to be much worse overnight and into tomorrow morning..Shall take a peek tomorrow morning..

Hubby will be the one with the car tomorrow..if they need me for work it'll have to be within a taxi ride distance and I reckon the taxi's will be very busy under such conditions. :erm:

I think i`ll retract the part quoting how "bad" it is here in London at the moment.
I probably seen more snow in one day back home than i`ve seen down here in ten years put together.Still a nice sight though.My youngest is still lying here begging to go out in it again.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 
Don't think I've ever seen this much in my 10 years in north surrey. Normally the London effect warms things up enough that it just about covers the ground if it even lays. Now there is some 2 inches thickness and it's still falling.

Tomorrow morning is going to be rather interesting getting to work. I have rather a habit of playing bumper cars in snowy weather :(

tucker61 02-02-2009 04:05

At least 2 inches thick in Huddersfield. And still coming down thick and fast.
