granted but do we really have to have all the hysteria by the media surely the 4-5 reporters the beeb employed on "snow watch" this morning could have been better used on stories that matter

Re: [Merged] Snow!
Bah, we finally get our snow clouds this afternoon ... only to find they've warmed up on their way south and now it's just falling as a light drizzle.
On the plus side, we finally saw a gritter this morning. About an hour after the last of the ice and frost we've had since Thursday had melted in the sun.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
Clear sky's here between Luton and Beford, temp is hovering round about 0c. More snow forcast for late tonight.
Snow from the last 2 days got eventually to about 6 inches and is still powdery, dogs absolutely love it!!

Re: [Merged] Snow!
We are having a light fall of snow. It seems to be sticking to what we had yesterday and, with -4c tonight and more snow forecast for tomorrow it looks like our street,s snow ball fight might be still on.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
It's looking a bit white over this side of Glasgow as well.
