Snow

[garynortheast]

We've had some! Not a lot, and the sun is now out so I don't know how long it will last. There's a little more forecast to fall later this morning and then more on Thursday.
I've just gone out and covered my onion bed with cardboard (after replacing the onions hoiked out by the blooming blackbird).

Who else has had snow?

[Luckypants]

We had a little, but generally we are 200 feet below the snow line for the area. More forecast for tomorrow.

Who else has had snow?

Not in Cleethorpes yet. Currently (8:40am), it's sunny but the weather radar shows the showers starting to graze the east coast and my garage temp is 0.8°C.

Seen more dusting in a bakery :D

Seen more dusting in a bakery :D

... or a Downing Street cabinet meeting ............

[Sir Trev]

Tiny bit in Stokenchurch as I drove through it on my way to work, but that was it. It's on the leading edge of The Chilterns, so it is generally one or two degrees colder than Wycombe. Was all gone this evening on the way home but there is a bit more forecast overnight and tomorrow.

[garynortheast]

Well, the met office are forecasting a lot of snow for today, and more to follow on Thursday and Friday.

On the one hand I'm happy to see some winter weather, late though it is, and on the other hand I'm hoping we don't get too much as I have a lot of outdoor stuff to be getting on with.

[garynortheast]

Aaaand....it's now snowing hard. It's laying too, as it's quite cold out there.

Same here, this weather is getting in the way of riding ;)

In March last year I was out pretty much every day through the month, the weather was so much milder and dry.

[Luckypants]

North Wales still clear, I expect we will miss the worst of it. Eryri has a dusting visible in the distance, but nothing causing any issues. I'm glad as VW are picking my car up today for some cosmetic warranty work.

[DarrenSV650S]

Blue skys up here in Scotland. I've got the conservatory door open into the lounge to let the heat in.
+25c in there. Free heat :)

[Luckypants]

Its arrived here, snowing big fat flakes for the past hour. Its not really sticking, but I think we'll get an accumulation overnight. Apparently a few flakes have fallen in Cardiff, so I'll expect the Welsh news to be full of stories of Dai the Arctic Explorer's epic drive home in 1 cm of snow.

[Seeker]

Just got back from a drive to Thornton Le Dale to look at Mathewsons (of Bangers and Cash fame). There was a light dusting on a couple of fields but nothing significant. Here on the coast I've seen a few small snowflakes but it's mostly dry at the moment

[garynortheast]

Been snowing hard here all day but on the lower ground it melted as fast as it fell. Went walking in the hills this afternoon and there was quite a lot more at height. It's still snowing now and the temperature is dropping so it's starting to stick again.

[Bibio]

nowt in kirkcaldy yet.

i think i have posted this before but check out the live traffic cams north east is pretty white.

[Sir Trev]

Snowed pretty much all day here in Bucks, but it's been well above freezing so nothing more than a thin layer on my (parked all day) car and a few patches around the corners of the lawn - the rest all melted as of touched the ground. More forecast overnight but then it's meant to get much warmer.

[Luckypants]

Well we got some now..... 3-4 inches accumulated overnight. Still snowing / sleeting.

[garynortheast]

Yep here too now. Several inches, and still snowing hard.

I was supposed to be leading a running group on a 5.5 mile run in the hills here today, but I can't see any of them being able to get here this afternoon. I shall have to postpone my dental appointment too as I don't think I can get the car out.

[mister c]

Been out delivering in it all day. It's been quite hard in South Cheshire / North Staffs, but didn't stick too well. We have rain in Crewe at the moment

[garynortheast]

Been raining here too Col, but there's a lot more snow forecast for tonight, and some well below zero temps for tomorrow night, which will make things interesting.

[keith_d]

I've just looked at the weather forecast for London on Monday.

If the Beeb is to be believed we're expecting >40 knot gales on Monday. Not quite storm force 10, but still pretty breezy.

I don't think there will be any snow on the ground at those speeds.

[garynortheast]

More snow here last night, and it's still snowing now. All the snow that was melting has now been replaced with fresh snow. I don't think I'll be going far today.

[Luckypants]

Same here Gary. There is about 6" laying about now. Not sure if the plough / gritter has been up to the village, waiting for a report from SWBO who is walking the dogs (Jemima is up to her belly and not impressed). We are going to have to ration milk in tea and coffee today :-(

Oh no, that's not good Mike. Red Cross parcel drop maybe? Fortunately I'm reasonably well stocked although I've just run out of Mabel's dried food. No chance of getting into Welshpool for more so I'm going to have to walk down to the Spar in town, and buy some of their very expensive dog food to tide her over.

Jemima is up to her belly and not impressed

Mabel loves the snow, she goes bonkers charging around in it. She has been trying to do laps of the back garden in the snow but it's not quite big enough and has too many obstacles for a clear run. I'll take her out into the woods for a run later today.

Silver band rehearsals at Porthywaen have been cancelled tonight as, in addition to the snow there are temps forecast down to -8°C overnight.

[Luckypants]

temps forecast down to -8°C overnight.
Same here! Ice on top of the snow might make getting off our little estate tricky, so maybe even less milk tomorrow. Will need the plough / gritter to come come to make the road passable for 2WD vehicles. We are a secondary route for gritting due to school transport but as schools are closed today, not much hope it will come through. From what I've seen on Facebook, not even the major roads (primary gritting routes) in the county are cleared yet.

[garynortheast]

Hopefully that's the snow done with now. It's been raining quite hard here and temperatures tomorrow are set to rise to a balmy 10°C with sunshine. Lots of rain forecast for the coming week though.

I could do with some drier, and slightly warmer weather now, as I have lots of outdoor stuff to get on with, and I'd like to start sowing some veg seed fairly soon too.

[Craig380]

Same here, snow gone and quite warm, although rain forecast for the next week.

I could certainly do with dry weather, as it's currently putting a serious crimp on my biking.

[Sir Trev]

Lovely warm dry day here today and hopefully it's the same in the Midlands, as I have to do a site visit tomorrow in Derbyshire. Looks like I'm going to get wet between the car and the warehouse, which I can cope with better than snow!

[Bri w]

None here. 33*C here yesterday, 32*C today. After sun on my neck…

It is blowing a hoolie here.... No snow :D:D

And here too. Not a trace of snow left. The rain hammered down last night, and it's very wild, wet, and windy now. No gardening for me today, time for a few indoor jobs I think.
