Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

Snowing on and off since about 3 o'clock this afternoon ... currently more on than off. And it's landing on last night's hard frost, which never had a chance to thaw today ...

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

... and still going strong. About 3 inches lying now, and no sign of a gritter within 15 miles of here (which was a bit hairy, as I had to go out in it this evening).

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

Well, this morning the school bus driver swapped his Transit for a Land Rover, and he still couldn't get through. So there are three excited children putting their wellies on in the hall, and we're about to start building our first snowman of the winter. :D

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

I'm supposed to be up your way october time I hope it's not like this when I'm there.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

Not very likely, October's either dry and sunny, or very wet and windy, depending on exactly when autumn decides to start. Either way it's not especially cold. Whereabouts are you going?

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

Callander mainly and we're going up to loch ness (at my insistance lol).

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

Come to think of it it was overcast and damp the last time I was there - but as the sunlight gives me so much hassle I think I'd prefer that as I did have a really good time :tu:

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

You should drop in, we're not too far away. ;)

Meanwhile, here's our morning's work.

Arr, me hearties! :D

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

I don't see why I can't do that - cheers :tu :) - I'll let yo know closer to the time the final details.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

Chris; You could have done with one less button on his coat and given him 2 eyes. ;)

He looks happy enough though. :D

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

Is shiver me timbers not more appropriate for the snow?

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

Looks like he could do with a bit of work in the biceps department.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

I don't know about that. He's balancing a slide on one arm and a swing on the other. :)

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

Hmm well they're either very small or far away ;)

(a la Father Dougal and the cows)

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

or he's really huge. :D

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

....and has just flattened the poor lass in the pink coat :shocked:

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

That's Chris. ;)

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

That's Offspring #2, and she's trying to use moulds from the sand pit to make creatures in the snow. :p:

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

This is how the Brighton Argus starts its story about next week's weather:
So there's me hoping for some more duvet days - until I saw how the story finishes:

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

Just hope we don't get what they've had on the East Coast of the USA today, worst snow for 90 years! They're telling people to be prepared to stay at home for up to 5 days.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

Snow in Birmingham? Closed one of the airport runways?

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

We have had snow for the last 4hrs. Not heavy but about an inch n a half.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

More snow for Mansfield this morning 2 inch or so i'd say.

Litte bit here but not much really, not coming down too heavy but only been snowing for an hour or so.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

Where abouts are you Dwayne?

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

We've had about 2in of snow here in Warrington :)

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

Newark :D

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

Bloody hell! didnt expect to wake up to that :D we have about 3"-4" here. Gotta try and get my car out now :(

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

The cats footprints from first thing have gone, other half's going to Tesco's in a bit, that'll be interesting!

---------- Post added at 09:20 ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 ----------

Well here's a first, our sky box has just lost it's signal, hardly snowing at all, went outside and the arm going from the dish to the LNB had about an inch and a half of snow on it, completely obstructing the LNB's view of the dish, knocked it off with a brush and all is well again.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

We have had about 2" overnight but it seems to be thawing quite rapidly here in sth Manchester.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
 

1/2in in Cambridge.

Re: Snow !
 

Almost 3 inches here - best of the year :D

Re: Snow !
 

No sign of any snow in the sunny sarf lol

Re: Snow !
 

It's thawing out rapidly here now....Hope it's all gone for tomorrow morning...I hate cycling to work in snowy/icy weather.

Re: Snow !
 

Roads here are not looking good and the sky looks full of it

Re: Snow !
 

We had about 1/4 inch overnight, and it's all melted now besides a bit left on the grass.

Re: Snow !
 

Same in Oak Tree at moment Flange, haven't heard a bus go down yet though, there's one on every half hour on a Sunday. Hope situation improves tomorrow, i've got enough days holiday left but I could really do with taking them when I want, not when the weather dictates.

Re: Snow !
 

Can't get out round here because the Tories have slashed the gritting budget by 40%.

Re: Snow !
 

Tis snowing again.

Re: Snow !
 

You never let facts get in the way of a rant, do you?

They are talking about reducing a future budget (so it has no effect on the roads at the moment, but hey, feel free to totally twist the facts ;)), and they are planning the same amount of gritting, just doing it in a different way - Link

Re: Snow !
 

can't get around here as labour have destroyed the economy and no one can get a loan for a car, as state funded banks wont loan money to people who have lost there jobs,and been declared bankrupt .


only a light dusting of snow here in cleethorpes and the sun is shining .

Re: Snow !
 

Snow what snow :shrug:

All I've got in CM20 (Harlow) is sun:Sun:, not warm enough to walk with out a coat though.

Re: Snow !
 

we had snow yesterday, started coming down quite hard for about 5 minutes then turned to heavy sleet

Re: Snow !
 

No clue as yet as I still have the curtains closed.

Re: Snow !
 

Go on be brave open your curtains lol

It is freezing here

Re: Snow !
 

I did, brrrr, slush stuff all over, it did all look nice and slightly white when I got in from work at 7am.

I would say despite what the weather man said it felt the coldest night ever at work last night.

Re: Snow !
 

Whacking great amounts of snow in Glasgow today. Still on here and a good few inches of coverage.

Re: Snow !
 

I'm just outside Glasgow and the snow has turned to quite heavy rain :(

Re: Snow !
 

In G45 South of Glasgow there was a good 3-4 inches of snow but once in the Centre of Glasgow it was just rain and no snow in sight. Same here in Bellshill, its just really wet.

Re: Snow !
 

Just a dusting of wet snow here in Belfast BT11 this morning.... All gone now thankfully. :)

Re: Snow !
 

Heavy snow forecast for Wednesday for here. :mad: I want sun not snow!

Re: Snow !
 

...https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2010/06/12.gif ... I refused to acknowledge Wednesday's weather forecast for Manchester. :(

Re: Snow !
 

Never ever expect decent weather for Easter because it's when I go on my annual holiday...:banghead:

Re: Snow !
 

Ah crap - I'm in Manchester on thursday :(

Re: Snow !
 

Give me a wave, i'm shopping in the traff ;)

Re: Snow !
 

... and I'll be next door at Costco.

Re: Snow !
 

Don't make him choose. it'll drive him mad :)

Re: Snow !
 

Seriously? We'll have to catch up for a chat :D

Re: Snow !
 

Re: Snow !
 

I'd love to Russ, but i'm meeting my friend whom i haven't seen since before i saw you and she only lives in Burnley lol!

Re: Snow !
 

Heh, I'm first again :p:

Beinn Narnain as seen from our dining room window this morning:

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/at...1&d=1287844137

Re: Snow !
 

Ohh god. Not again. Keep that white stuff up there!!

Re: Snow !
 

That's a vista and a half Chris, it must be wonderful to wake up in the morning and see that view out of the window. I've just had to check the route to the summit and it seems to be a reasonably moderate hike but perhaps not in the snow :)

Re: Snow !
 

Yeah, that's hell of a house you got there Chris. It's on a lake as well isn't it?

We know who won the Euromillions now. :)

Re: Snow !
 

Loch Lomond ;)

The Loch is between us and the Beinn. It's actually a very long drive around to get to the path to walk it, even though as you look at it from here it's only 10-15 miles distant.

As for the house ... it was a real blessing to get it, because there aren't many houses here at all, so property doesn't come on the market very often. Euromillions weren't required, thankfully, because it was a real doer-upper, and because the location is so isolated it tends to restrict interest.

Re: Snow !
 

Much as I admire your luck with the view Chris I don't envy you with the winter weather.

Re: Snow !
 

Or the summer weather this year...

Re: Snow !
 

No that was your own little rain cloud following you around..:D

Anyway the place that has the most rain is Wales..

Re: Snow !
 

Shouldn't you just say that its the general british weather

Re: Snow !
 

records would count against u here...

It shows it to be scotland ;-)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate...United_Kingdom

Re: Snow !
 

Ummm...

:confused:

Re: Snow !
 

look at overall rainfull charts

Re: Snow !
 

Ah right, 86.6mm a year more in Scotland...

Re: Snow !
 

snow flakes the size of saucers here in newcastle at the moment

Re: Snow !
 

Is it sticking.:erm:

Re: Snow !
 

yep, i didn't think it would because it's been raining most of the day

Re: Snow !
 

why is it always early its again a month early and i'll bet you that come xmas we wont be getting any of the white stuff

Re: Snow !
 

Met office have forecast snow for pretty much everywhere t'other side of Pennines (east from where I'm sitting) spreading as far as the south coast by weekend.

Re: Snow !
 

My five day forcast says that there will be sunny intervals everyday, no white stuff mentioned.

Re: Snow !
 

i think you need a new piece of seaweed ,this has been forcast for nearly a fortnight ;)

Re: Snow !
 

I should add that I live in the Essex rivera, it always seems to escape the worst.

Re: Snow !
 

Well we live on the Cornish riviera and all we have 'ere is rain, rain and more rain. White christmas? I doubt it very much.

Re: Snow !
 

no sight of snow in sunny surrey

Re: Snow !
 

None in not-so-sunny Nottingham either.

Re: Snow !
 

Ooops! Spoke too soon, just made it across the road to the shop for the paper, bread and milk, before the hailstones started, phew! :)

Re: Snow !
 

Heavy frost,bright sunshine.Cold as heck but a nice winter day.:)

Re: Snow !
 

Five minutes of light flakes in Leeds City Centre, now disappeared, back to sunny and very cold.

Re: Snow !
 

It wasn't that long ago when my local weather girl said we are going to have a very warm winter. it was when it was very hot in the daytime and warm of a night time when she said it.

yes, you can say Bimbo :)

Re: Snow !
 

erm, she would have been working on the meterological information available at the time, which, of course, changes.....

I am sure if it had been a fella, he would have said exactly the same thing - would you be calling him a bimbo?

Re: Snow !
 

Yeh, probably a change in the wind direction.

Only if he was good looking.

then you've got people on the radio and stuff saying ooh it's cold outside. had to scrape the ice off the car windscreen this morning. looks like it's going to be a cold winter this year. have to wrap up warm.

it's always cold in winter. that's the whole point of it.

Re: Snow !
 

Noted :)

Re: Snow !
 

Bah! Heavy clouds have appeared and the wind has strengthened.Not so pleasant now.:(

Re: Snow !
 

Yet again I still have no snow. Excuse me, I live in Scotland I demand it first!!!

Re: Snow !
 

are ye on the West coast? if so you probably won't get any. Demand your money back immediately.

Re: Snow !
 

If I never see snow again it will be to soon. Hate the stuff and have seen more than enough to last me a lifetime :(

Re: Snow !
 

Yup I am :(
Now where do I claim?

Re: Snow !
 

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2010/11/15.jpg

Re: Snow !
