More of the same blue skies and brilliant sunshine again today.

Our house on Christmas morning:

it lasted until overnight after boxing day ... then the rain came and washed it all away. We've had snow on a couple of days since but it's never lingered. Boo hoo!

Earl of Bronze 18-01-2005 11:49

Re: Snow !
 
We had about 5 or 6 inches of snow last night, where I live in Carnmoney (about 6 miles north of Belfast). Though it does seem to be turning very slushy.

AndrewJ 18-01-2005 11:52

Re: Snow !
 
Come to Rochdale, it aint stopped since 4am this morning, and still coming down, its weird though, as its snow with ice, and the pathway I live on is off the road, and the snow is nearly knee deep.:dozey:

My temperature thing stuck outside is saying -2degrees C.

Surely that aint right is it?

Bifta 18-01-2005 11:53

A couple of centimetres at most in Derry, didn't last long, suns out now.

I live in Carnmoney as well! It took me 20 minutes to get down to Sandyknowles and nearly 50 minutes to get from Sandyknowles to Belfast along the M2. Then another hour to get from Belfast to Bangor.

The snow plough finally paid us a visit half an hour ago ... not that we needed it by then, the snow has cleared very quickly. The torrential downpour we had around 1 o'clock might have had something to do with it. Glad I'm inside!

Whereabouts do you normally go to get your lunch?

AndrewJ 18-01-2005 14:50

Still snowing here....me goes to get shovel and salt..no gritters come up the road where I live as its too narrow.

No snow round my area (ooeer missus). There has apparently been snow around London, I just haven't seen any.


Blinking cold though.

You didn't miss anything Sian, today's snow was far too wet for making snow angels ... you'd have soaked your coat!

Here are some Met Office webcams that are updated quite frequently:

For the skiers amongst us, Aviemore is in Cairngorm, and Aboyne is near Glenshee.

And if you think it's bad here, try Chamonix:

It was pretty impressive.

Thawing here and little ice patches with plenty of snow on ground, should be all slushy later on.

There was some snow in Driffield (East Riding of Yorkshire) today from what I heard on the radio. When I was out delivering my papers this morning there was a few flakes but that was it. It has certinally got colder and we might get some tomorrow I hope.

Odd picture that one.

Are all you Glasgow people as courteous to pedestrians as that and park right up to the edge and force the pedestrians out into the road :D

Also I notice the car tracks down the centre that didnt pull out onto the main road and disappear towards the back of the street and then fade :Yikes:

Spooky.

:D

greencreeper 18-01-2005 23:20

Yeah - I noticed it was cold and when I left for work there was snow on the cars. I was about 10 mins from work when the wind picked up and flakes starting falling. Nearly broke my neck on the icy pavements :(

First chance I've had to post, the snow hit us about 3 yesterday morning as we were coming down the M1 lasted for about 2 1/2 hours getting heavy at times, still never mind, its gone now.

We had REALLY strong hail last night, reaaaally noisy, and lots of it, was sunny when I got up this morning, but it looks like we have sleet now.

Matthew 13-02-2005 11:27

Re: [Merged] Snow !
 
It's been really cold and windy around here and I overheard a conversation earlier that the Humber Bridge was restricting certain large vehicles.

Apparently its rain later but it could be snow.

Well this is what it looked like on Saturday afternoon somewhere on the way out of Coire an Snechda near Aviemore in Scotland. We went for a weekend's course on ski touring and couldn't have had a greater variety of conditions to try out.

Matthew 15-02-2005 00:07

We have just had a heavy lot of rain/hail looked a little like snow. There is a bit of a white covering still left.

beautiful Here too, Incog - bright & sunny & really clear, I can easily see the wind farm on the opposite bank of the Humber estuary & the lighthouse on Spurn Point - but the wind is bitterly cold. I'd rather it was like this than grey & miserable, though :)

- and I missed the hailstorm this morning while I was in the shower ;)

We have had quite a bit overnight. Yesterday morning we had a light covering but that disappered by 11am and you would not have known we had had any snow. Todays lot is still around but melting quickly. Apparently more is on its way later.
