SNOW

Re: Snow !
 

merged ;)

It's just chuffing cold here in Surrey. I don't think we're expected to suffer problems this time round.

Re: Snow !
 

It was -3.5 C when I set out for work (at 9:30am) this morning.

Re: Snow !
 

It's raining here in Swansea. The bus company says snow has disrupted service in Garnswllt and Cimla.

Re: Snow !
 

Bright sunshine here in Manchester but it is still only 2C so lots of glowing red noses. I'm not looking forward to the snow they are predicting for this area on Sunday.

Re: Snow !
 

Bright sunny but brass monkey wotsits here...

Re: Snow !
 

Well, there has barely been a cloud in the sky here since all this 'awful' weather kicked off. Cold but clear. Long may it continue. :D

Re: Snow !
 

another couple of inches last night plus -3 temp so it was bloody freezing today at work

Re: Snow !
 

Isn't this the time of year, Councils put there gritters in for an MOT ?.

Re: Snow !
 

no idea arthur ,but when ever i have seen a gritter in the morning over the last 2 days they have had a couple of inches of snow on the top of the roof so they have been parked up all night instead of out gritting

Re: Snow !
 

No

Re: Snow !
 

A whole inch in Cardiff... buses being cancelled already.

Re: Snow !
 

Well, what a surprise ... Asda man was here about 8.30pm and there wasn't a sign of snow. Now I look out the window and we have half an inch of it, and more steadily falling. And Mrs T. is just starting her journey home on a road that will be un-gritted for the last 3 miles to the house. :erm:

Re: Snow !
 

it's been snowing in newcastle for about 2 hours now realy heavy ,my cats climbing the window trying to catch the snowflakes :D

Re: Snow !
 

The whole people assuming a road is ungritted because they happen to have not seen a gritter and the road is bad is once again starting to get my goat!!! I know for a fact (Father working gritting callout for years) they have been out gritting in this area during most of the bad weather for the last several years and there are always people still saying they haven't!!! They just seem to be easy targets for a lot of people!!

Just because you've not seen it doesn't mean its not been past when you have not been looking. Gritters are not some magical vehicle that stops all effects of snowfall, you grit to early and the salt is washed/driven off the road and the snow settles, you grit after it starts to settle and you are to late, the snowfall is to heavy and it settles anyway. The council around here HAVE been out gritting and are whenever there is a risk of icy roads never mind heavy snowfall.

As it stands we have had no snow although it's been Brass Monkeys.

Re: Snow !
 

I want to see some snow!!!

Re: Snow !
 

Snowing pretty heavy here just outside Edinburgh. Started just over an hour ago.

there you go ,a photo of my street 20 mins ago :D

Re: Snow !
 

Finally got snow :D

Re: Snow !
 

Ummm...

Must be a white out, can't see anything.... ;)

Re: Snow !
 

Strange, I cannot see your picture

Re: Snow !
 

I can see it just fine.

Re: Snow !
 

So, what could be the problem, as two people have the same problem?

Its an attachment that he hasnt uploaded correctly, so its not attached to any post, meaning only admins can view it.

Re: Snow !
 

I'm just feeling left out here in Northamptonshire :( I want some of the white stuff :(

Re: Snow !
 

Mrs T, home at last but a gibbering wreck. :(

Re: Snow !
 

really glad she is safe, Chris - cup of tea is mandatory - wee dram may be appropriate in this rare occurrence..

Re: Snow !
 

Definitely nothing here, see screenshot...

Re: Snow !
 

See post #1741 ;)

Re: Snow !
 

Just woken up to an inch or so in Lincoln. I guess it'll be in Northants soon.

Re: Snow !
 

where is the Link :LOL: :Sprint:

Re: Snow !
 

An inch or two here in Leicester. Not enough to make you feel Christmassy but enough to ensure the locals empty Tesco of bread and milk, and to ensure public transport completely shuts down.

Re: Snow !
 

My wife's off to Lincoln uni today, that'll please her as we got between 2" & 3" here in Mansfield.

Re: Snow !
 

Brass monkeys 'ere, but no snow as yet!

Re: Snow !
 

Traffic is running as normal on the main roads. From my hilltop I can see them whizzing along the bypass road so there should be no problems with access.

Re: Snow !
 

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/at...1&d=1290847402

don't now why the first one failed but here you go ,my street last night and there's more on the way

Re: Snow !
 

and snow has come but stopped already and not really setting but give it a couple of more days of low temps and we'll have scenes from last year

Re: Snow !
 

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/at...1&d=1290851706

someones got the right idea to avoid the traffic jams caused by the snow :D

Re: Snow !
 

Sun trying to peer through clouds.However snow is promised for tomorrow so my neighbour is frantically trying to get the roof onto his conservatory since early this morning..:(

Re: Snow !
 

Nice photo :tu:

Re: Snow !
 

Weather said we weren't going to get any signs of snow here until Sunday. so we get some snow this morning :rolleyes:

watching the news and the reporter is somewhere where the snow isn't that bad. it looks like when it's thawing out and almost gone. she bends down and wipes a bit of snow off a sign and says this gives you an idea of how bad it is :confused:

send her to somewhere where there is snow and she'd wet herself. it's crazy the way the media try and make it sound like it's a crisis when really it's just a little bit of snow.

Re: Snow !
 

next door neighbour has just cleared his drive...and put the snow in front of my drive...i'm off to see if i can borrow that land stalker from the pic i posted and trample his house :D

Re: Snow !
 

Well, we finally joined the party last night. Here's our house this lunchtime:

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/at...1&d=1290863053

The temperature at 1pm:

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/at...1&d=1290863053

And the temperature on the solar panels at the same time:

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/at...1&d=1290863053

I love technology. Free hot baths even in the middle of winter. :D

Re: Snow !
 

Looks Glorious Chris. Congrats.

Re: Snow !
 

-7C in Manchester at present, it will be one or two degrees less than that up here in Oldham, either way it is the coldest it has been this winter.

Re: Snow !
 

Only after you subtract the price of the solar panels and their installation. Out of interest: when (relative to installation) will you start to actually save money?

Re: Snow !
 

So where is this snow?Seems the forecast has changed again.

So much for that couple who had a snow sled taking up room in their trolley at Asda yesterday..They are going to have to make a hell of a hike to find any snow round here.

Re: Snow !
 

No snow here, but it's bloody cold (Manchester)

Re: Snow !
 

Just looked at the thermometer in the garden, a balmy -9 @ 8.30am Gonna be a cold one today.

Re: Snow !
 

- 7 here in sunny Cambridge

Outside was so white this morning I thought we had a layer of snow on the ground.

Re: Snow !
 

I always knew that the 'norf' was all miserable shades of grey.... :D ;)

Re: Snow !
 

yeah we can't afford colour in the norf ,we spend it all on flat caps and clogs :p:;)

Re: Snow !
 

It's here. We had about 6 inches overnight and it's still coming down heavily. I'm going to get some more photos, but not until it eases off a bit. It's looking decidedly arctic out there.

Re: Snow !
 

Luxury!!!

I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah

Re: Snow !
 

Ditto, but before our parents killed us we also had to lick the white lines on the motorway clean.

Re: Snow !
 

Angry,Hugh, Pah don't know you're born ,i force my kids to watch Jeremy Kyle ,required education up here

Re: Snow !
 

But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.

No snow yet in Harlow, but a heavy frost on the cars, and it look very brass monkey outside.

light snow is forcast for 3pm today (Sunday) and again on Tuesday.

Re: Snow !
 

I'm going to brave the outdoors shortly, but in the meantime, here's one Mrs T took out of the dining room window about an hour ago.

Foreground is our front lawn and fence. At the centre of the picture is our road, with the neighbour's front lawn to the left of it. Although it's not possible to see where one ends and the other begins.

Re: Snow !
 

you win....:D

Re: Snow !
 

More proof of my theory about the 'norf'... :D

Re: Snow !
 

Well it's got so dark here that we had to draw the curtains..I couldn't read it was getting so dark.
No snow yet though..:)

Re: Snow !
 

Still lovely clear blue sky and bright sunlight here in the so called dark dank north. No doubt our time will come.

Re: Snow !
 

Got a picture to prove that eh!!!!??..... ;)

Re: Snow !
 

you must live in posh bit then ;)

Re: Snow !
 

We finally had about an inch in the early hours of yesterday (just in time for my birthday !).

Last night it hit -8.0 C at home (and hasnt risen above -2.5 C all day today).

Re: Snow !
 

It's really kicked off here today.

This was yesterday lunchtime:

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/at...3128-house.jpg

And this is what it looks like right now:

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/at...1&d=1290956900

Re: Snow !
 

Not bad, it has eased off, now, but maybe more to come :)

Re: Snow !
 

Oh I wish I could, back on enforced bed rest but if it's still sunny tomorrow I shall be more than happy to let you all see that Manchester can be the place to be. No doubt my being allowed out of the house will be the trigger that releases a blizzard over M41. So sorry in advance to my fellow Mancs. :D

Re: Snow !
 

Although its been below -3 with a low of -9 today it has been clear blue skies.

Re: Snow !
 

Well, I'm definitely not going anywhere for a couple of days. :disturbd:

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/at...1&d=1290980894

Re: Snow !
 

A light frost is starting to appear on my car. No snow in sight (Harlow, Essex)

Re: Snow !
 

how deep is that.... looks about 10cm?

Re: Snow !
 

We still don't have any snow yet, not even a drop :(.

---------- Post added at 22:54 ---------- Previous post was at 22:53 ----------

Thats a nice pic :D

Re: Snow !
 

We have no snow and I'm so so glad we dont and hope we dont get any either. Hate the stuff. ::erm:

Re: Snow !
 

that looks more like about 30cm, tbh, Doc ??

Re: Snow !
 

nah its not a full grown 4x4... 1 of those suzuki things from late 90s so the wheels arent that big and its not even half way at the tire so I would estimate 10-15cm

Re: Snow !
 

The picture is taken from a height some way above the roof of the car, looking down. The snow is a fair way past half-way up the tyre. ;) The amount of snow on the top of the car roof should give you a clue as to the true depth.

Away from the side of the house, in the middle of the lane, the depth this afternoon was at least 15", possibly 18" in places. Say about 40cm.

Re: Snow !
 

No work today :( had another 4inch last night ,my van was cleared of yesterday to give a clue as to how much has come down last night from 11.30pm onwards

Also we are having quite a lot of thunder and lightning ,never had that before in snow storms

Re: Snow !
 

WTF!!!!!!!!! I just opened my front door here in Cambridge and i saw a Jogger going past in Lycra shorts and carrying a torch!!:shocked::shocked::D
Theres snow on the ground, sub zero temperatures and its snowing again lightly. Do these people run in all weather? :):rolleyes::D

Re: Snow !
 

What the Olympic torch ..bit early isn't it :shocked::D

Re: Snow !
 

All I can say yet again is.Snow? What's that?

Re: Snow !
 

Snowing heavily in Lincoln. Traffic is still moving. just...

I wonder what we'll wake up to in the morning. Doesn't bode well for the Lincoln Christmas Market this weekend.

Re: Snow !
 

So that's your Christmas card photo sorted then :D

Re: Snow !
 

Be greatful Maggie you do not want the load of snow we have had dumped on your doorstep

I cleared 13inch of snow off my conservatory roof this morning

A bit of advice for those who have had heavy snow and have conservatories ,make sure that your polycarb roof on your conservatory (especially the leanto type like mine) hasn't got too much snow on it especially if your house roof hasn't got any snow boards as the snow can go straight through if the snow slides of the roof .Mine was approaching the snow load limit for the type of roof 0.6kn/m2 which most peoples will be unless they have a glass roof

Re: Snow !
 

Again.... nothing :(

Re: Snow !
 

Just woke up for some strange reason, looked outside and i saw some snow on the ground!.

I can rest now, night all :D.

Now its coming down heavy!.

Re: Snow !
 

We've had about 1 inch of snow overnight here in Warrington

Re: Snow !
 

So it's creeping closer.Snow in Liss,some snow in Portsmouth and up on high ground(that will be Portsdown Hill) and apparently some points west.

Yet again Portsdown Hill protects us.This town is not called Lee-on-Solent for nothing.:)

---------- Post added at 07:31 ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 ----------

Hmm! Now it's lighter I notice that we did have a very fine layer of snow that's almost gone.Not even a millimetre really.At least it's a little warmer.

---------- Post added at 08:35 ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 ----------

Trying to snow.Laying in patches.

Re: Snow !
 

Joy - travelling to London on the 9:40 train, so I booked a taxi for 8:30 (the journey to the station usually takes 20 minutes, but best to be safe than sorry, eh?) - taxi firm just rung up and told me the taxi would be 30 minutes late, due to traffic delayed by snow; is it me, or might they have planned for this?

Re: Snow !
 

This country planning for snow?

You have lived in the UK more than a year haven't you? The slightest hint of White stuff brings everything to a juddering halt every year without fail. :(

Re: Snow !
 

Gadget likes it. Perhaps it keeps all the pond life at home?

Re: Snow !
 

Snow here now - couple of inches (well depth isn't everything you know!!! ;) ) in the SE London/N. Kent area.

I've been listening to LBC all morning and hearing quite a few drivers whingeing about how slowly the traffic is moving in the snow/ice. What does it take to make these people ever feel the need to slow down I wonder??... :mad:

Re: Snow !
 

Here is -10 C and 2 feet of snow.. Tonight is forecast to be -23C...Cheers from Warsaw.

Re: Snow !
 

-23 C

Wow .... :eek:

Re: Snow !
 

Andrew you can keep those temps with you there in Poland!!!! wayyy too cold for me.

---------- Post added at 11:23 ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 ----------

oh and had a slight dusting here during the night... it does make the area look nicer with a dusting of white :D

Re: Snow !
 

We got it on Saturday and it been on and off since them.
Currently snowing now.

Re: Snow !
 

It does which is nice. It also makes driving anywhere remotely fast VERY interesting! :shocked:

Re: Snow !
 

Just got back from a walk up the local high street. The traffic is ground to a halt and nobody is going anywhere for the foreseeable future so far as I can see. The usual shenanigans such as wheel spinning, u turns, abandoning cars etc. isn't helping matters either.

The wife and our eldest decided to walk the 3 miles to our youngest's special school to collect him and are on their way back now. The school buses ran this morning but there's no sign of any this afternoon so God only knows how those who don't have the option of walking will be getting their kids home this evening.
