Re: Snow !
 

Now that would be a traffic hazard ;)

Re: Snow !
 

With wind chill here it's -8C :erm:

Re: Snow !
 

Snowing in Bexleyheath and Tonbridge.........light, floaty flakes, not settling, but they look nice.
The M25 J1-J5 has some light settling and the gritters are out.....

Re: Snow !
 

So cold here, I'm sure I saw a polar bear nicking blankets of the washing line :D

Re: Snow !
 

forecast for possible light snow flurries here and i'm sitting looking at 2-3" that dumped itself all over newcastle :rolleyes:

Re: Snow !
 

Yes l noticed that when they showed pictures of Newcastle racecourse.:td:

Re: Snow !
 

Still coming down as well with no signs of stopping

Re: Snow !
 

l remember once down here the forecast said scattered snow showers and we ended up with half a foot.:Yikes::shocked:

Re: Snow !
 

should really go to hospital for that mate .;)

Re: Snow !
 

We've got snowy/sleety/rain here, its about +2 or 3 so no danger of proper stuff

Re: Snow !
 

Thats a good one for you.:D

Re: Snow !
 

The odd tiny flake here in Cardiff. Looks like dandruff.

Re: Snow !
 

Head and Shoulders Taf.;)

Re: Snow !
 

Happy to say, no sign of snow here not even a flake!

Re: Snow !
 

l gather yours is the big house on the corner.;)

Re: Snow !
 

Nothing here in Warrington thankfully.

Re: Snow !
 

No Den view is from second front bedroom, looking out over Carlyon Bay
.

Re: Snow !
 

I loved that place, both for the concerts (Tina Turner, Tears for Fears, etc) and that bit of beach after Shorthorn Station. ;)

Re: Snow !
 

Sunshine and snow showers yesterday left us with about an inch lying on the ground by nightfall, which froze solid in -7c overnight. :erm:

Bright sunshine this morning but the temperature so far has struggled to get up to -2. Brr!

Daughter's nursery has closed because the central heating has broken. On a freezing Monday morning I would expect that means a burst pipe somewhere.

Re: Snow !
 

No snow here but the wind chill is absolutely bitter.

Re: Snow !
 

Well would you believe it? It is actually snowing here..3 times in one winter is a record for us.:erm:

Re: Snow !
 

Yes my Mum has been complaining about the snow up there this morning in her email.:(

Re: Snow !
 

Snow in Tonbridge. Looks lovely :)

Re: Snow !
 

The mercury has crept up to +3 here now, in blazing sunshine and a light breeze that's rapidly stripping the snow off the ground and leaving it remarkably dry.

Meanwhile our solar hot water panels are a sizzling 52c.

Re: Snow !
 

Snowing in mid-March. The weather is going crazy...

Re: Snow !
 

There has been snow in May if l rightly remember but March can be a very fickle month as sometimes you can get a early spring or you can get the last of the winter.

Re: Snow !
 

Britain is statistically more likely to have a white Easter than a white Christmas. There's nothing crazy about snow in March, or even April!

Re: Snow !
 

Well, we got a sprinkle overnight.

Then it started sunny this morning, then we had a blizzard roll in, then sunshine again, then another mini blizzard, and now sunshine again .... :erm:

Re: Snow !
 

Similar here without the sun. One minute a blizzard and the next minute it all calsms down and stops. Weird.

Re: Snow !
 

its still snowing here :sleep:

Re: Snow !
 

We have SNOW :(

Re: Snow !
 

Same here in south Manchester. It's so cold we also have an icicles hanging off the bottom of the car. Brrrrrrrr.

Re: Snow !
 

Luxury!!! It's so cold here our icicles have severe frostbite. ;) :D

Glad we had the cavity walls insulated 3-4 few years ago.

Re: Snow !
 

In May 1983 I remember hailstones the size of a hens egg..:erm:

Re: Snow !
 

Battered down with it here just for about 20 minutes and the cloud that dumped it has now cleared off towards Wales....Blue Sky now.

Re: Snow !
 

There's snow here in Hove and that says a lot....

Re: Snow !
 

Essex Rivera is just cold no snow, had a bit but none settled

Re: Snow !
 

Been snowing most of the day here, not sticking though. Just been out in the car and it said -2C on the dash!

Re: Snow !
 

Apparently heero there were tailbacks of up to 15 miles that were reported on the A23 between Crawley and Brighton, with some motorists stuck for up to eight hours.

Re: Snow !
 

Not too much here overnight but seriously cold.

I must say I feel very sorry for those who got stuck out in their vehicles for hours and in some cases all night. Having said that, I heard Cheryl Baker on TV this morning banging on about how she and her hubby had been stuck in their car all night. I did feel sorry for them until I heard that they'd headed off into the night to collect their daughter who'd got stuck on a very icy hill, along with many others, somewhere miles away in Brighton. Don't get me wrong, I can fully understand their parental urge to assist their daughter but did they think to take some precautions in case they also got stuck somewhere like so many others? You know, extra warm clothing, blankets, food, hot drinks etc. etc. etc. Erm, that'd be a no... So they too went out and got stuck somewhere adding yet more misery and congestion to that which was already evident and thereby making the job of the emergency services even harder. Having got a bit peckish after hours going nowehere, they were apparently shocked to find that the only edible stuff available from the service station was bars of chocolate and bags of crisps? Quelle surprise... :rolleyes:

Just found this concerning the incident:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-21751026

Makes you wonder also whether they even checked the traffic news before they set out. :confused:

Re: Snow !
 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21754736

So it's not only here is it.

Re: Snow !
 

Never has been but our media make it out like it is....

Re: Snow !
 

Looking out my window atm, the sun is shining on the houses across the street, and snow is falling on my front lawn !

Re: Snow !
 

Snow predicted but none so far apart from a miserable attempt this morning of a few 'drops', but windy and bitterly cold.

Re: Snow !
 

Such as 'I'm proper snow, actually, not like that lower class muck you get in Brighton. Think of me as the freezer section of Waitrose, not Asda'?

;)

Re: Snow !
 

Big fat fluffy snowflakes falling here.

Re: Snow !
 

We had some last night, which melted slightly during the day. Now its started up again, with bigger flakes this time. So far they are just melting as they hit the ground, but as it gets colder I expect they will overpower that (assuming it carries on falling).

Re: Snow !
 

Heavy snow started here in Mansfield overnight Thursday. Had a few hours respite during the day on Friday with some heavy snow showers. Been up since 6am and it hasn't stopped. I would guess at around 6" so far and the council have not gritted anywhere that I can see

Re: Snow !
 

Lovely blue sky down here this morning after several days of monsoon weather.:Sun::Sun::Sun:

Re: Snow !
 

About six inches of snow in our street.

Re: Snow !
 

Yes l noticed yesterday on TV that in Bradford and Huddersfield it was quite bad and if l rightly remember you are not that far away from these areas.

Re: Snow !
 

What is making it more deadly round here (west Leeds) is that gusty wind blowing the snow about. Living halfway up a hill, shopping centres top and bottom, the hard decision is which way to go?

Re: Snow !
 

where about in Notts are you then as I've had quite a bit now in Beeston.

Re: Snow !
 

its snowing here slightly, tiny tiny bits falling.

Re: Snow !
 

Apparently according to the weather centre we are not set to warm up for another two and a half weeks yet.:(

Re: Snow !
 

Was having a gander at the average temperatures in March last year and the whole month was 10-12C, this year the whole month has averaged 0-2C. Heating bill is going to be bigger than usual this quarter :/

Re: Snow !
 

Its snowing pretty bad here now in NW London and blowing all over the place too which makes it worse

Re: Snow !
 

Snowing big flakes in Tonbridge and Bexleyheath (and presumably allpoints inbetween)
Not settling.....

Re: Snow !
 

Yes l have just seen pictures from Lingfield where it is snowing and that can't be too far away from old Worthing.

Re: Snow !
 

Snowing quite heavily here in N. Kent but not settling... yet... :erm:

Re: Snow !
 

Snow now in West Berkshire - was quite light this morning but now getting a bit thicker.

Re: Snow !
 

It keeps trying to lay on parked car roofs, but not quite managing it in freezing cold Surrey

Re: Snow !
 

Thought I'd get the last post of the season in here. :D

Snow lying from about 500 metres in our part of the west highlands this morning. This is Ben Lomond, just a cheap and cheerful phone snap:

Re: Snow !
 

Me thinks there is more to come!
Relative living in Canada reports yesterday 12inch of snow fell in daylight hours.(even sent a picture)
The weather services put the blame onto the wayward gulf stream 'being not in the correct location for this time of the year'.
I would suggest for those 'north of the border', get the snow shoes ready.

Re: Snow !
 

I was up Ben Nevis last Saturday and the snow was about 2 feet deep in places! We where up at cloud level, which was very bizarre. It was almost like snow was just generating all around us rather than falling from the SKY.

Re: Snow !
 

We have our first snow of the season. Thankfully not at our level, you have to go up above about 750 metres for it. This is a grainy little camera phone pic, taken with far too little daylight, but it shows Ben Lomond on the right and Beinn Narnain on the left.

Re: Snow !
 

It's just a bit of frost, Chris.

Re: Snow !
 

Temperatures at -1 here. Frosty :(

Re: Snow !
 

+5 down here my old marra.:)

Re: Snow !
 

Snow falling in NW Leeds, but not settling.

Re: Snow !
 

I realise it isn't anywhere near as disastrous as the rain and high tides that have wrecked havoc in other parts of the country but it's snowing in my little corner of Manchester.

Re: Snow !
 

Same here in Warrington

Re: Snow !
 

Had a smattering up here in Fife today too, the weather has finally remembered it's supposed to be winter.

Re: Snow !
 

A wee bit in Glasgow today. Kept switching between snow and rain.

Re: Snow !
 

Some snow here too.

Re: Snow !
 

Make a change from wind and rain!

Re: Snow !
 

Snow on the hill opposite us. That's the latest we've had our first snow for years. I'll post a photo later today, when it's daylight.

Re: Snow !
 

Well if we listen to the MO we are in for a pretty mild winter but of course if you listen to the DM and DE then we are in the for coldest winter for 200 years and we are all doomed.

Re: Snow !
 

The view northwards from our wee hoose this afternoon.

Re: Snow !
 

Nice and periodic sunshine here at last after 3 days of dark grey skys and rain and drizzle.

Re: Snow !
 

Snowing nicely in Wakefield.

Cheers

Grim

Re: Snow !
 

Yes indeed. Much the same a few miles north-west of Wakefield.

Re: Snow !
 

The same William holds Heletune. Orm held it and was a freeman.There are 10 hides, of these 5 pay geld and the others do not pay geld. There is land for 20 ploughs. In demesne are 2 ploughs, 4 oxmen, 4 bordars and 2 priests with 4 ploughs among them all. 2 fishermen there pay 5s and there is 1 acre of meadow and woodland 1 leage long and a half wide...... and a crap load of snow.

Re: Snow !
 

Snow started yesterday at 6pm, after an hour there was easily 2" and our 15 minute drive home from a family dinner turned into a 75 minute epic journey ;) only broken by watching hapless drivers trying to drive in the snow and failing.

Re: Snow !
 

Started at about 9pm last night here, we got about 2 inches.

Weird today getting it off the car today, it was frozen, so came off the windscreen in big blocks.

Re: Snow !
 

Once again a smattering of snow causes the UK (well this part anyway) to throw a fit and everyone decides to not drive properly.

I honestly think some proper bad weather would cause the UK to go back to the dark ages.

Re: Snow !
 

It'd be in a race with Islamic fundamentalism on that one.

Think we hit the dark ages whenever really bad weather hits. Have been a few examples.

Re: Snow !
 

Never understand it - I lived in Berlin for two years, and we has serious snow, and I never missed a shift ( and we were on top of the biggest hill in Berlin).

People in this country (apologises for vast generalisation) just don't seem to know how to drive in adverse conditions (and I include fog/heavy rain)....

Re: Snow !
 

As you say there is a significant core of drivers who don't drive to the conditions and try to Drive too fast and get too close to the car in front and thus don't leave themselves any leeway at all.

Re: Snow !
 

Took the dog out in it, it loves it!

Eating it, catching it, running & rolling in it.

It's demanded to go out 3 times today!

Re: Snow !
 

Had a light dusting overnight, pretty but not dangerous. Forecast says we might get a bit more.

Re: Snow !
 

Big flakes falling here, not sticking yet though.

Re: Snow !
 

Well it started to snow here .... then stopped again ....

Re: Snow !
 

It's been on and off for more than a week here. Until now, it has tended to fall, then melt, then all over again. But now, after 2 days of clear skies and sub-zero temperatures, it is falling on hard-frozen ground. Just coming down lightly, but sticking. Thankfully the gritter came up first thing this morning, so the main road is still clear for now.

Re: Snow !
 

Not a sniff down here.

Re: Snow !
 

Nowt here, just rain... milder by the week-end though.

Re: Snow !
 

Dry down here but still rather chilly still.

Re: Snow !
 

Been snowing here pretty much since 8pm last night. It settled overnight and as it's about +2 it's just big wet flakes with very little settling. If it drops to about zero it will settle more and probably will become a problem tomorrow.

Re: Snow !
 

It's lovely up here tonight: Gails, sleet, massive hailstones.

We had to cancel a gig up in t'depths of Lancashire this evening due to everyone falling off the road as it's even worse up there.

Re: Snow !
 

Snowed here briefly, but all gone now.
