Re: Snow !
 

Snowing steadily now down here and beginning to lie.

Re: Snow !
 

No snow here but hailstones crashing down in the early hours.:erm:

Re: Snow !
 

Snow in Tonbridge. Not quite cold enough to settle though.

Re: Snow !
 

We were promised snow here as well, but it's just boring old rain again.

Re: Snow !
 

No snow just rain

Re: Snow !
 

Stopped now and what had settled has melted. Very cold wind out there but the sun is starting to glint through the clouds.

Re: Snow !
 

Had a bit of slushy snow, but not settling on the roads.

However, my nieces girlfriend is flying down from Glasgow today, for my Nieces birthday on the 2nd.

Our local airport (Stansted) might close again temporary to assess as they've had far more snow.

Hopefully she lands there and doen't get diverted.

Traffic up the M11 has issues but hopefully will clear later.

Re: Snow !
 

Snow still lying from yesterday and it's really quite beautiful, from my living room window :)

Re: Snow !
 

Sunny here ATM but chilly as well.

Re: Snow !
 

We had snow for about 30 minutes, but nothing settled as the ground was soaked from several hours of rain previously.

Re: Snow !
 

We had a bit of snow (which froze solid on my dad's car this.morning)

I took my niece up to Stansted as her girlfried was arriving from Glasgow, but she was stuck on the plane for nearly an hour, as it was to icey to de plane.

I was clock watching as the car park has 1 hour free upto 2 hours £1, then jumps to £23 :O

Luckily she got off.

Re: Snow !
 

An amber weather warning (risk to life and property) for one inch of snow ? :rolleyes:

Wonder how they cope in Scandinavia? they must surely all be dead by now ...

Re: Snow !
 

Thunderstorms and torrential downpours down here this morning so you are quite safe Mr K.;)

Re: Snow !
 

Still snowing here in Glasgow really heavy as well. Been on since early hours and to continue into the afternoon

First one is my street in Rutherglen and the second is Anderston in Glasgow.

Re: Snow !
 

Good I might just survive this cataclysmic weather event then.

Sometimes I think we're just a bunch of 'snowflakes' Den ;)

Re: Snow !
 

Took the dog for a walk in Meanwood Park this morning - a light dusting.

Re: Snow !
 

Raining here not a snowflake in sight .

Re: Snow !
 

Could look at this view all day.

2nd picture view from my eldest son's bedroom window and I could not help notice that the Golf Club has cleared the car park, so far I have not seen anyone brave enough to have a round of golf.

Re: Snow !
 

We got a proper snowfall this morning, made it fun on the roads.

Its turned to rain now, which is slowly washing the snow back off the roads.

Re: Snow !
 

Well I can only say it's raining here..If there was a thread titled Rain I'd have plenty to add to the discussion. ;)

Re: Snow !
 

Got a load of snow in Glasgow this afternoon.

Enough that we all got sent home from work.

Why when I upload from my phone to the photos always appear upside down?

Re: Snow !
 

Ive turned the upside-down one the right way up.
Cant really do anything with the other one as it was taken sideways.

Re: Snow !
 

It wasn't sideways whenn I took it. Portrait mode.

When you click to enlarge the image it appears the right way.

Re: Snow !
 

Portrait mode is sideways as far as photo images are concerned :)
Landscape mode is the normal orientation, and they way they will be shown.

Clicking on them [again] opens them a new window, and I think the browser then flips them.

Re: Snow !
 

Will we be invaded by the "Beast from the East" next week?

Re: Snow !
 

my knees and elbows are saying mild weather- i live on the east coast ;)

Re: Snow !
 

So l gather in the coming week you will go for your early morning swim in the sea then..;)

Re: Snow !
 

xmas day swim is the norm

Re: Snow !
 

No snow forcast in my part of the Essex Riveria

Re: Snow !
 

FFS a few flakes and they're out panic buying. :rolleyes:

Re: Snow !
 

They will be buying the whole shop come Thursday and Friday then.;)

Re: Snow !
 

We have had snow falling here this evening, not settled though (yet ......).

Re: Snow !
 

Got about a centimeter of snow fell overnight. Still lightly coming down. -3C

Re: Snow !
 

Freezing out there this morning with a bitter wind just making our way over to the dentist.

Re: Snow !
 

It's about 80 degrees Fahrenheit in here and i'm not planning on turning it down any time soon .

Re: Snow !
 

Had about 3 inches of the stuff up here overnight. Some has melted a bit but it's started snowing again. Thank God for AWD as I have to take my lad to work tonight. There's no way he'll be going in on his motorbike.

Re: Snow !
 

It keeps starting and stopping here, got little more than a sprinkling on the actual ground though.

Re: Snow !
 

Good golly blizzards predicted from Thursday afternoon in our area.:Yikes::eeek:

Re: Snow !
 

It's -9 here, thought about doing my coat up at one point

Re: Snow !
 

-5C overnight and a light dusting. Coldest night for several years here on the coast.

Re: Snow !
 

A flurry yesterday afternoon and a light dusting on the car and lawn overnight...We will live and drive.

Re: Snow !
 

Every road and side street is gridlocked with traffic you have to go over a flyover to get out of town and it's full of stuck lorries but the council have 800 tones of salt and grit .
We had 2 inches of snow all the schools are shut it's unbelievable ;)

Re: Snow !
 

And there was us thinking you could cope with anything that was thrown at you..;)

Re: Snow !
 

I've got survival supplies [40 bottles of stout];)

Re: Snow !
 

I'm trying to figure how much faith I should pay to the weather forecasts. They've been saying heavy snow for the past 2 days, but it's still not appeared around here. Is it going to appear in the next few days or isn't it? How is anybody expected to make any plans, even simple grocery shopping.

Re: Snow !
 

It's in the nature of showers, we had a "convergence line" of them all yesterday.

I think the blizzard prediction for the South and South-West is more solid though as storm Emma coming up from Biscay buts into the "Beast from the East"

Re: Snow !
 

Its pretty bad down here now on the border of Devon/Cornwall as its certainly been laying very quickly as its been snowing heavily in the last 30 minutes.

Re: Snow !
 

Met office charts are showing a convergence line in the channel and over Devon and Cornwall.

It's a line like this that caused the Boscastle flooding as rain/snow moves along the line of the convergence so a few miles either side has fine weather yet on the line it comes down for hours on end.

Re: Snow !
 

Expecting upto 4cm tomorrow and the 6-12cm Friday but turning to rain - lovely.

Hope that despite some folk moving away we still get the community snow dig where folk in the road spend the day clearing the snow from the road and old peoples paths. Nice community effort and good fun. Can't drive so do something useful.

Re: Snow !
 

Keeps snowing here, we have about 2cm on the ground atm.

Re: Snow !
 

Work sent us home earlier as it's supposed to get much worse this afternoon which could have made getting home a problem.

Walked to the shop rather than risk driving as only the main roads are clear and it was a mission and a half. It's not so much the snow more the combination of it and we have had some hefty non stop winds since last night making it pretty tricky to stay upright.

Re: Snow !
 

With the wind chill it was -8/9 this morning. Flurries of snow but not much of a ground cover as the sun keeps showing up.

Our postman has started wearing a coat and I'm guessing he may even put on long trousers instead of his shorts if this cold spell continues.

Re: Snow !
 

The locking mechanism on the back door chose now of all times to give out. The hook and slidy bolt thing on the top half isn't deploying when you pull the handle up to engage so the door isn't being sealing tight resulting in the wind blowing right in the house. 40-50mph baltic gusts so no fun.

No chance of getting anyone out until this weather is past so desperate measures in the mean time :p:

https://www.cableforum.uk/images/local/2018/03/1.jpg

Re: Snow !
 

Schools closed so kids hoping for more snow but Met office downgraded our warning to yellow and snowfall to at most 4-6 cm.

Still work advised us not to travel unless really needed.

Re: Snow !
 

Could be worse - could be a cannabis grower...

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/atta...4&d=1519901637

Re: Snow !
 

A lot of energy going to waste there.

Re: Snow !
 

We have 3 to 4 inches on the ground here.

Schools are closed today and tomorrow, so my other half is happy :)

Re: Snow !
 

My Tesco's was quite for the time of day I entered today, and my town wasn't hit that bad either.

Re: Snow !
 

Drove from Scunthorpe to York yesterday . . essential trip to pick up a guitar :D

No issues for me, back home in 3 hours. I'd thoroughly checked many web sites regarding road conditions before going though.
A couple of incidents where lorries had slid off the road, I'd guess due to the high winds in certain areas. Services soon had them sorted and minimal disruption to traffic flow. :tu:

Re: Snow !
 

The main roads ain't bad down here now but once you go into the B roads it can be very treacherous.

Re: Snow !
 

I think the same 4" of snow just blew around for a few hours leaving bald patches and deep 4ft drifts. All buses and trains cancelled, schools closed, Uni closed... even the Uni Beer festival my mates have stalls at....

Re: Snow !
 

Just started snowing here, everything turning white. Temperature -1C and dropping slowly.

Got to go to the supermarket later, no doubt the panic buyers will have stripped the bread and milk aisles. Fortunately we don't need either and I can always make bread if needed.

Re: Snow !
 

My biggest fear at these times is running out of beer.

Re: Snow !
 

Non alcohol l gather.;)

Re: Snow !
 

That’s really sad...

You need to plan better - risk assessment and mitigation works (always have at least 30 bottles of red, 20 bottles of white, 6 bottles of fizz, a couple of bottles of Whisky and Cognac, and various crates of lager and beer in the garage - replace when used).

Seven Ps always works for me (the saying, not the multiple micturations).

Re: Snow !
 

it's raining misty and just a bit miserable :cleader: it's back to normal .

They will get through to you in a few weeks once Cable Forum sends out its search party for you.;)

Re: Snow !
 

All gone again here ..........

Re: Snow !
 

Falling in Leeds again - this is me returning home after walking the dog for an hour.

Re: Snow !
 

Snow is falling in South Manchesrer but it's not sticking. I feel sorry for North Manckland though as they seem to be getting the brunt of the snow falling on this side of the Pennines.

Re: Snow !
 

Looking out the window of our office by the Airport it seems to have stopped now :)

Re: Snow !
 

Its fine down here in deepest Devon.:)

Re: Snow !
 

Blue skies and sunshine here :Sun:

Re: Snow !
 

Light snow started about an hour ago. Now snowing heavily and beginning to settle. Temperature hovering round zero. So much for Spring. :(

Re: Snow !
 

Snowed a bit here this morning too but sunny at the moment and the very little that was on the ground is gone, albeit bloody cold with the wind.

I kinda like that it's felt more like a proper winter compared to the past few years. Costing a fortune in gas for heating mind you.

Re: Snow !
 

It was 15c in Cambridge yesterday now we have light snow and 0c with a wind chill of -7c!!!

Re: Snow !
 

A mini beast from the East is coming to our area they say..

---------- Post added at 12:27 ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 ----------

Around May they say apparently.;)

Re: Snow !
 

Don't think i'll survive this one the kettles broken .

Re: Snow !
 

You need a bit more Northern grit my lad..;)

Re: Snow !
 

A mixture of snow, sleet, hail and sunshine here !

Re: Snow !
 

Exactly the same here in Tonbridge, Kent.

Re: Snow !
 

We've had about an inch overnight, looks very pretty.

Re: Snow !
 

had a few cms overnight. Photo was my street before I left for work at 8am.

Started snowing again in Glasgow too.

Re: Snow !
 

There was a dusting overnight here but there's a nasty, really cold crosswind howling out there so no flying this weekend.

Re: Snow !
 

Snowing down here now..

Re: Snow !
 

The Met Office have mislead everyone - it's still winter!

Spring does not arrive until 21 March, when the day and night are of equal length (the spring equinox). Not the 1st!

Lo and behold, on that day it will be a barmy 9 degrees in London, and no sign of any snow!

Re: Snow !
 

Well looking at the next few weeks its not going to be that barmy even in April.

Re: Snow !
 

Actually, the first day of spring this year is March 20th (until June 21st). Same in 2019 as well. :)

Re: Snow !
 

Yes, there are minor variations from one year to the next, but if everyone keeps the 21st in mind for equinoxes and solstices, they won't go far wrong! They will be a lot more accurate than the meteorologists!

---------- Post added at 19:20 ---------- Previous post was at 19:18 ----------

Well, spring always disappoints because everyone has such high expectations of it.

In most years, the heat doesn't get here until about mid-May.

By the way, no-one can forecast as far ahead as April from now and have much chance of accuracy!

Re: Snow !
 

The beast from the East was forecast 3 weeks before it came and that prediction was pretty accurate would you not say..;)

Re: Snow !
 

Did you not hear him, the kettle is broken :Yikes:

No wonder he's blue.

---------- Post added at 07:37 ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 ----------

They claim there is going to be a East Beast part 3, this is what happens when you upset the Russians, they switch on the weather machine

Re: Snow !
 

That prediction was for the first beast, Den, not the second! ☃️

Re: Snow !
 

You have heard of the Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) have you not OB?..

https://www.theguardian.com/news/201...-from-the-east

Re: Snow !
 

I have indeed, Den, but there are many variables that affect our weather in this part of the world.

Re: Snow !
 

Beast from the East III, just in time for the clocks to go forwards. :erm:

Re: Snow !
 

No surprise really with the Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) still having a effect on the weather.

I read a storm near here is expected to drop up to 35 centimeters in the next couple days!!


Man oh man!!
