Same here up in Manchester and the 'feels like' temp is down to -5° so it looks like it won't be melting any time soon.

The snow has just started now in Winnersh, we had a bit this morning more expected, I am staying home in the warm

We had a dusting as well, but its back to almost 2C here, its all melted again.

Re: Snow !
 
We've had really heavy snow showers on and off for most of last night and today, East side of Scotland.

Winchester seems to get different weather to surroundings. Our grocery delivery man yesterday said we was having difficulty only a few km away. Other times we get the snow and it's clear in surroundings.

Re: Snow !
 
We are now on an amber alert for more heavy snow, Tayside, we have approx 8" at the moment and it's still coming down.

Paul 09-02-2021 17:41

Re: Snow !
 
A couple of dustings here, one overnight which melted again this morning, and another weaker attempt [this afternoon] that partially melted again before the temperature dropped.

Cobbydaler 27-04-2021 20:54

Re: Snow !
 
A week ago we had snow here, today it's 26 degrees...

Paul 28-04-2021 04:08

Re: Snow !
 
A couple of weeks ago we had snow and 20 degree sunshine on the same day.

Mad Max 26-11-2021 13:04

Re: Snow !
 
Well it looks as if winter has arrived here, we have a red warning for severe weather with winds up to 90 MPH, and blizzard conditions in some areas, at the moment it is very windy and the rain we had earlier is starting to turn to sleet, so we're expecting the sleet to turn to snow, looks like a wild night ahead.
I don't think I've ever seen a red warning issued before, saw a few amber warnings issued, but never red.

Chris 26-11-2021 13:08

Re: Snow !
 
The east side of Scotland is going to get pretty wild. I’d have a quick look outside while it’s still daylight and make sure there’s nothing loose in your garden.

Mad Max 26-11-2021 13:11

Re: Snow !
 
That's exactly where I am, Chris.

Chris 26-11-2021 13:14

Re: Snow !
 
I assumed so, as you’re concerned about the red warning, which only afffects the east coast. ;)

Yes, the forum staff privileges come in handy,;) I'm a wee bit east of where you mentioned.

The warning is for the East of Scotland, you're worried about it, therefore you must be in the East of Scotland, what "forum staff privileges" are required ?

Chris 26-11-2021 16:14

He’s not worried, he’s just referring to a conversation we continued in private ;)

I'm not worried, Paul, just hope it doesn't get too bad. :)

Light snow down here in N. Lincs . . . not settling though :(

'sigh' shortage of proper snow then :(

Can't understand why the BBC haven't ran it as a headline yet :D

Paul 28-11-2021 15:49

Re: Snow !
 
Snow started falling here about 90 mins ago, we have about 1/2 inch now.

Taf 28-11-2021 16:57

Re: Snow !
 
It’s snowing and sticking in the Bolton and Coventry areas.

joglynne 28-11-2021 17:37

Re: Snow !
 
It's been snowing lightly since late morning here in South Manchester. Stopped at the moment, leaving an inch or so covering over all of our garden.

Freezing already and clear skies with -4°c forecasted overnight. Unfortunately I'm due out very early for hospital tests and treatments so I will have to be extra careful on the roads.

Hope the gritters have been out!

Stay safe everyone.

Halcyon 29-11-2021 09:36

Re: Snow !
 
Not too worried about the snow. It looks beautiful too!


It is when it melts and then turns to ice that I'm worried about.

Already seen one accident on the roads today.

Mr K 06-01-2022 12:03

Got to laugh. As soon as I've taken all the Xmas decs down, it starts snowing...

We had a little bit early on but it's turned to sleet/rain now, there's quite a bit on the hills though.

Hom3r 06-01-2022 13:40

Re: Snow !
 
I'm unlikely to see any snow as my town seems to escape it, but go a mile outside, and it's horrendous

Paul 06-01-2022 13:49

Re: Snow !
 
Yes, there has been a small amount here today.

Carth 06-01-2022 14:22

Re: Snow !
 
We had a few (didn't do a full count) flakes here before it quickly turned to rain.

It's damn cold though :(

Chris 06-01-2022 15:27

Re: Snow !
 
It’s raining right here but the hills opposite are thickly covered down to 300 metres or less.

Blackshep 06-01-2022 18:02

Re: Snow !
 
We had 5 minutes of snow sadly after an hour of rain so nothing settled.

Paul 06-01-2022 19:21

Re: Snow !
 
It turned to rain later here as well, so all that settled has now gone again.

I've been in places like that. Even where we live now our weather can be different to surroundings in either direction - we have snow none around but usually it's other way around.
At university (Aberystwyth) one Feb we had some mile weather but cars were coming into town with a good layer of snow on roofs. (Naughty drivers not clearing it off.)

Halcyon 07-01-2022 09:56

Re: Snow !
 
We live in the UK and unless you live in the sticks or up north where you get beautiful scenes and lots of snow then most of us will have to endure about 4 months of sleety hail mushy sort of snow that just makes everyone feel rubbish.
Bring on the summer!

bubblegun 07-01-2022 10:21

Re: Snow !
 
Woke up to a couple of inches of snow this morning.

Bring on the summer!

It was the November weather that was greatly instrumental in my dad emigrating us to South Africa in 1968, much more civilised climate though up in the high veld winter can get cold at night.


Here we just have different temperatures of damp most of the year.

We had a snow shower come through here around midday. Quite heavy for 10 minutes or so. Really pulled the temperature down.

Disrupted flights out of Leeds Bradford this morning, so we were stuck in Faro Airport for an additional three hours.

Home now…

Mad Max 31-03-2022 20:29

Re: Snow !
 
We had snow yesterday and today, not much I may add just some heavy showers, also a really hard frost this morning, but it's getting better soon.

Mad Max 08-12-2022 09:54

Re: Snow !
 
First snow of the winter here today, just a slight covering, and bitterly cold.

3 inches yesterday evening in Tonbridge, Kent. Been snow bathing in it twice so far :)

Still no snow here, it was frosty last night though.

Mad Max 12-12-2022 18:19

It got down to -7c here last night, and Braemar was -16C, it's a lot colder than normal for early/mid-December.

tweetiepooh 13-12-2022 12:38

Re: Snow !
 
Only a dusting here. When we do get a good fall we all go out and clear the road, pavements and drives/paths of infirm residents. Good exercise and great to be together. At the moment I don't leave my desk much. Work from 0900-1730 then essays til dinner then more essays to 2130-2200. The ice doesn't make me want to go out much.

Halcyon 16-01-2023 13:13

Snowing here in the East Midlands.

Although my car decided to slide down the drive at work this afternoon (hand brake was on) and luckily stopped and didnt hit any cars. Phew!

Overnight snow forecast here... by the BBC, so it's probably not going to happen.

Paul 17-01-2023 21:19

Re: Snow !
 
It was -4.7C last night here, and already -1.5C tonight, no more snow though.

SnoopZ 17-01-2023 22:24

Really hoping I don't get any snow this week as that would mean clearing the car at 5am!!!

It was treacherous out there earlier. Sleet, then freezing rain. It looked soggy, but it was actually black ice on all surfaces.

Paul 08-03-2023 17:34

Re: Snow !
 
Snow falling here, but not enough to settle.

Taf 08-03-2023 18:39

Re: Snow !
 
We had a steady fall overnight and up to noon. Big flakes that stuck, but soon disappeared once it changed to sleet.

heero_yuy 08-03-2023 18:42

Re: Snow !
 
We had some overnight that lay on the car windscreens. There was a white coat on the downs but that melted by mid morning.

We had about 1/4 inch yesterday, and another 1/4 overnight.

Most of it has melted away now, in the sun.

No snow here just rain, rain and more rain, yet we still have a hosepipe ban. :rolleyes:

Was snowing very heavy in Cambridge at 9am with 1/2in settled, 3hrs later it was all gone luckily!!!

I won't be happy if it snows next week as I am on early shift as clearing the car and navigating the roads at 5.30am is no laughing matter.

No Snow here, but cold, it remained below freezing all yesterday, just a little warmer today, climbed up to 1.5C !

We got some already the other day!

Not even a cm though...... And it was gone that day.......

Mad Max 02-12-2023 19:08

Re: Snow !
 
Absolutely freezing here in East Scotland, it was -7c last night and started off dry this morning, then we had heavy snow for about an hour or so, and about 2" or so fell.

jfman 02-12-2023 19:22

Re: Snow !
 
About the same as Mad Max in Central Scotland. And I can vouch for how freezing it was last night I was out looking for the aurora.

Did you find it? Just a vague pinkish-green here.

jfman 02-12-2023 19:29

Re: Snow !
 
There was defo some pink showing up in photos, but nothing particularly visible to the naked eye where I was. Clouded over (typically) around midnight when activity was at its strongest. A colleague got some amazing photos a couple of weeks back on the east coast.

Paul 04-12-2023 04:09

Re: Snow !
 
We had 2.5 inches of snow overnight (yesterday).

However, steady reain all day has slowly removed much of it.
