Re: Snow !
 

Well it or depends on how much the cold air pushes southwards thenry because as we know the weather is often difficult to predict.

Re: Snow !
 

you can keep it up north. i dont mind snow, its the freeze over after lasting weeks :mad:

Re: Snow !
 

so do i, especially in my rear view mirror .:D

Re: Snow !
 

Well as long as my council grits the road and my 30 minute journey doesn't become a 3-1/2 hour journey to hell like last time.

Re: Snow !
 

Don't worry there won't be much if any snow and it won't even get that cold ,still waiting for the "beast from the east"

Re: Snow !
 

It is cheaper, but people doing this in 2010, I think it was, caused a national shortage of cat litter :shocked:

Re: Snow !
 

Plus an army of defecating cats. :erm:

Re: Snow !
 

Or what about getting a 20/25kg bag of sharp sand (currently £1.81 per bag at B&Q) and use bag of cooking salt (or other cheap salt).
Spreading sand first then sprinkle salt on top, beats spending £6/£8 - 20/25kg bag of rock salt.

Re: Snow !
 

LOL :D

Re: Snow !
 

Started snowing in this end of Nottingham about 20 minutes ago..

Quite large flakes, but only a light covering so far.

Re: Snow !
 

Can't stand rock salt, there always seems to be some loose on the bag that finds its way into you boot and being highly corrosive it doesn't do your carpets much good.

Probably an incredibly silly question but why do you keep calling her jog?

Re: Snow !
 

l suppose its my habit sometimes of shortening peoples names.:)

Re: Snow !
 

Woke up to about a inch of snow here in Mansfield. Not snowing at the moment & 24hrs early, if I'm supposed to get a snow day off of work it needs to be tomorrow dammit!!!!!!!

Re: Snow !
 

No sign of any snow here yet - SE London/N.Kent area. Our local council provides free bags of salt and snow shovels to groups of residents who want to help keep the side roads clear. The scheme works quite well especially as, at the first sign of snow, travellers have been known to empty the official grit bins and then use the stolen grit for clearing private drives etc. for a price.

Re: Snow !
 

In Reading there was some sleet on Saturday after noon but no snow yet.

Re: Snow !
 

A mere dusting this morning, barely enough to brush a snowman's teeth with.

Re: Snow !
 

No snow here, which isn't surprising as I'm lazing by a pool in Bangkok. :D

Back to Blighty tomorrow though :(

Re: Snow !
 

West Berkshire: Nothing here - just a nice crisp sunny winters morn that Mags would be proud of.

Re: Snow !
 

hope you have not found any packets in the wrong place lol

Re: Snow !
 

nothing here

Re: Snow !
 

Well there is certainly none down here.

Re: Snow !
 

We had less than 2 inches and had chaos. Luckily we got paid for being late.

Re: Snow !
 

why do they say only travel if necessary, if only work wasn't.

Re: Snow !
 

Snow in Manchester City Centre...

Re: Snow !
 

A very light dusting south of the City as well.

Re: Snow !
 

what a disaster

Re: Snow !
 

Nope. We Northerners need at least 6ft of snow before we even break out the de-icer. :D

Re: Snow !
 

Quarter of an inch in 'The South' and The BBC focuses on nothing else...

Re: Snow !
 

We're just loved more down South :D

Re: Snow !
 

More snow for you can be arranged.:D

Re: Snow !
 

No thank you Ken. Though we can cope with more snow without getting our nickers in a twist we are more than happy to see it fall on you delicate southerners. :D

Re: Snow !
 

No we wouldn't..:bsmack:

Re: Snow !
 

Like a Christmas card outside, beautiful. :)

Re: Snow !
 

you wont be saying that when its freezes over.

Re: Snow !
 

Snow in Tonbridge. Like a light dusting of icing sugar....:)

Re: Snow !
 

...sounds about right for them :mad:

---------- Post added at 08:45 ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 ----------

Yes, snow is nice to look at, but that's about all it has going for it :D

Re: Snow !
 

A light dusting of snow in Winnersh, it is still on the car roofs but it is not laying on the pavements yet.

Re: Snow !
 

Nothing but rain down here.

Re: Snow !
 

We had a dusting of snow earlier, enough to whiten the lawns and roofs, but it's turned to light rain now and snow has all gone!

Had about an inch our so overnight in Mansfield and its been snowing for the last hour here in Nottingham.

Re: Snow !
 

Same here.

We had a light dusting yesterday, and now its snowing properly, about an inch so far.

Re: Snow !
 

same here.

Re: Snow !
 

My snobby neighbour is scraping the ice off not only the glass but the bodywork of his car.
he's going around with a scraper scraping really hard to get every single last piece of ice off.

mad people out there.

Re: Snow !
 

I know.
then he'll have to get a new one :)

Re: Snow !
 

did you record it?

Re: Snow !
 

Apparently South Wales is getting a load of snow this Friday. And I'll be up and out at 5am so that's going to be a barrel of chuckles...

Re: Snow !
 

How far do you have to go Russ?.

Re: Snow !
 

Not far, only about 8 miles but the route is pretty exposed.

Re: Snow !
 

Yes we should be alright down where we are but it does not look good for the vast majority of the country from early Friday.

Re: Snow !
 

Been to corby today and the truck thermometer said -7 for most of the day ,the trees are white with frost ,looks pretty but bloody cold

Re: Snow !
 

No. this kind of thing is the norm where I live. so I don't think of filming it :)

Re: Snow !
 

nice.

snow for nearly all of us on Friday - BBC weather. we're doomed.

Re: Snow !
 

Hope our game is postponed on Saturday because we won't be able to get out of our road as they never grit here.

Re: Snow !
 

Seems to have started early.... been snowing lightly here for the last hour!

Re: Snow !
 

Have had abit of snow/sleet in Waunarlwydd/Swansea today on and off, starting to get a little cold, we have to travel to hospital tomorrow at 10am but according to weather we should be showed in :erm::shocked:

Re: Snow !
 

Dry & no sign of anything in South Cardiff . Even the guys that come down from the valleys say no problem -YET. ( wives call for them to go home before etc etc). Wondering now if I should "borrow" the bosses "tank " in case of snow tomorrow instead of my cheap ( in more ways that one) city car

Re: Snow !
 

Met office have only forecast light snow for most areas so what's the fuss about :shrug:

Re: Snow !
 

So I did not dream that :rolleyes:

Re: Snow !
 

Red warning for some parts of South Wales for tomorrow. Stand by your shovels

Re: Snow !
 

Surely with a red warning, give up on the shovels and rush out today to make sure you have got all the essentials for a few days such as bread, milk, and booze, along with a good TV guide so you don't need to go out ;)

Re: Snow !

Re: Snow !
 

Nice one Russ, thanks for the reminders. Sainsbury's tonight I guess :)

Re: Snow !
 

checked east coast they reporting to start 1600 friday not stop until late monday. Crikey if this is heavy think we could be in for more than 10cm at that rate. We low land. God help this area council useless idiots failed to cope at 2cm. Grass here full snow but major roads cleared finally last 2 days our council been absolute garbage. We have had little gritting or snow clearing left motorist in mess. crashes galore. I laughed when news said it had not caused disruption as councils been prepared. Its been chaos with delays buses trying to negotiate roads more akin to ice rink for two days. First by snow yesterday/night -4 to -7 temperature. Though last night grit would not helped I believe as grit fails at this temp.

Re: Snow !
 

That`s a large area with lots of highs & lows - Last time we had snow my biggest problem was opening the gate at home. Once on the road even the city car worked. Lots of staff said can not get in - two left company after I drove to their homes with no problem & offered them lifts in :shocked:

Re: Snow !
 

Been snowing here for several hours, seems to be getting a bit heavier now.

It's certainly settling well :)

Re: Snow !
 

Apparently according to my brother who lives in the Midlands some places could get 8 to 10 inches of snow.:Yikes:

Re: Snow !
 

Red Warning? snow problem

Re: Snow !

Re: Snow !
 

Well snow is due here at noon tomorrow, so I'm expecting to have to dig my car out a 7am tomorrow.

Re: Snow !
 

snowing in newcastle now 24hrs early

Re: Snow !
 

Well it's WhiteUpNorth tonight!

Cheers

Re: Snow !
 

Snowing heavily here in swansea at the moment but nowhere near as bad as they made it out to be on the news! Although it is very very windy here.

Just added some pictures.

Re: Snow !
 

Its Raining heavily down here.

Re: Snow !
 

Yep I feel totally lied to, it's just freezing rain here. Cardiff may have a foot of snow today but Swansea has still got the only Premier League team in Wales :D

Re: Snow !
 

Re: Snow !
 

Drove from North Cardiff to South Cardiff with no problems at all.Perhaps a quarter of an inch of snow in car park . For Cardiff people worst part of journey was Park Place turning into Boulevard de Nantes ( No jokes please that is the road name really!)

Re: Snow !
 

Nothing in SE London/Mid Kent yet :)

Re: Snow !
 

We have a good layer of snow, rapidly being added to. http://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/nysnowmen/t7801.gif

Re: Snow !
 

Spoke too soon......Bexleyheath has snow now.....not much though :tu:

Re: Snow !
 

I bet South West Trains are breathing a sigh of relief now there is a tiny bit of snow (1/4" in about an hour) to help them justify why they already threw in the towel and closed rail lines.

Re: Snow !
 

About 5 - 7cm here and still snowing. Walked the dog earlier, traffic is moving slowly. Plenty of idiots around driving without headlights on, and the stupid #**#*#* who haven't cleared snow off their car windows just put the wipers on!!!!!

Re: Snow !
 

shush here 10.15 am

12.10 more snow falling - staff flapping !!!

Re: Snow !
 

Re: Snow !
 

An inch so far here in SW Herts. Glad I decided to work from home today. The kids school is shutting at 1:30. No way am I driving to pick them up, they're walking home today

Re: Snow !
 

Nothing so far in Leeds (after a light dusting last night).

Re: Snow !
 

Strange thing is there is none where we are but 3 to 4 miles away its everywhere.

Re: Snow !
 

Re: Snow !
 

About 4 inches and rising in murkiest Cheshire.

Doesn't look too bad on the tops, not on the A53 camera at Flash anyway. Cat & Fiddle cam is covered with snow and ice.

Re: Snow !
 

Glorious sunshine here in central Scotlandshire. When they said "much of the country" would be suffering in the snow I guess they must have been talking about Norway or Finland.

Re: Snow !
 

Not much disruption thankfully :)

Re: Snow !

Its amazing how much people panic buy as where my parents live in Rowner they are clearing the basics from the shelves.

Re: Snow !
 

If you were a preppy as are some members of my extended family - the cry I told you so would be ringing out:rolleyes:

Been told by two people ( both in Cardiff ) they have lost Sky - Snow can do that ?

Re: Snow !
 

Its started to fall here ................

Re: Snow !
 

ask them to check the dish. if the LNBs got snow infront of it then clear it but be careful not to move the dish or LNB. if its ok then its the clouds.

Re: Snow !
 

Lots of snow over this end of Nottingham, and most of it's coming in sideways..

Ear muffs and Goggles would be great right about now.

Re: Snow !
 

let them go home :D

Re: Snow !
 

about 1/2" at work and over 1" at home.

The usual idiots who haven't cleaned snow from there lights.

Re: Snow !

Re: Snow !
