Woke twice in the night with hail battering against the windows and the roof. Won't be long before we start getting the nasty stuff.

Re: Snow !
 
It has been snowing on and off all weekend here, but until last night was only sticking at heights above about 200m. Last night we had our very first dusting (we're at about 50m).

---------- Post added at 07:55 ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 ----------

... it's snowing again now.

Fantastic sunny day here. :)

We could do with some rain in this part of the world however. Our local aquifer fed ponds have dried up for the first time in the 25 years we've lived here. :(

Uncle Peter 16-12-2011 13:42

Re: Snow !
 
Oh crumbs it's chucking down with it here and it's sticking.... Met Office said it wasn't coming this far north, so much for false hope. I fart in their general direction!

I've always understood the weather people to be just as good as me when it comes to predicting what the weather is or will be.

just that we look out of different windows.

Snowing here this morning in Harlow & Stansted, but nothing to worry about.

Re: Snow !
 
With all this snow, it will bring the best jokes around, Council will run out of grit, the railways will grind to a halt as the snow is not the right size and is causing problem's with the points.

Drivers will complain about breakdowns as batteries have gone flat overnight due to the freezing weather, transport will grind to a halt.

Good old Britain.

The temperature here in Essex dropped a lot overnight i am working nights at the moment,and went out at 3am it was cold but it did not feel as cold in the air just on the ground,but by 5am cars were frosted up that were left in the open,as usual when the bus came along on the way home it was already warm and de-frosted.!:D:D

Just a tad off topic, Riley, our rescue cat, has never had a chance to experience snow before and he is going wild. He loves water in any shape or form so is sitting in the garden staring up into the air and trying to catch the flakes as they drift down. :)

Re: Snow !
 
Snow has given way to light freezing rain that is just glazing the thin covering of snow. Unless the temperature rises, which I think very unlikely, it will be like a skating rink by morning. Please be careful if you need to go out tonight you guys.

Yes l suspect Graham because it is on the South coast the air is slightly milder as we ourselves are on the coast down here and it has been raining all day because its a bit milder by the South and South West coastlines.

Re: Snow !
 
5 inches here in places, I know because some one very anal a desk away went out with a ruler, I regret thinking this now but when he said he was just going out side for a moment I did hope for a second it'd be a Captain Oats style moment. Chaos on the roads as usual, had to pick a work mate up a couple of hours back who'd broken down on the motorway and there were quite a few others there in a similar predicament sadly.

About four inches in Tonbridge, Kent.....
