It's snowing!!!
 

in central london anyway! :smt041

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

and here in NW2 too, has been for a while now on and off. Looks so pretty but means i aint going out nowhere today, lol.

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

is it the "ahhhhhh pretty snowy white blanket" or the "white in the sky wet on the ground"?

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

And in Sunny Suffolk, well snowy suffolk. Youngest daughter V Happy:smurfin:

Its too cold for me to venture out :nomore:

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Yup EC3V Central london - Snow outside my window, the light stuff that won't even settle but will mean almost certain icy spots once the sun goes down for my trip home :rolleyes:

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

I decided to come to work by car today (which means having to come in an hour late). Then told myself not to be a total wuss since it was not even snowing. I put all my thermals on and jumped on the bike, and it hasn't stopped snowing since :rolleyes:

It's varying from tiny 'magic dust' style snow to great big fat flakes here in N6.

If the ground stays damp, I'll be heading home early (before the sun goes down at least) to avoid the worst of it.

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

its just grey and boring here! (no surprise then) but it was snowing here on the 1st

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

I already asked if I could go home because of the snow, but they said no! :rolleyes:

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Nice, it's stopped snowing just in time for lunch :-)

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Yup stopped here but still dark and grey which means the ground will be loosing what little heat it had rapidly and garuntee freezing whatever's settled on the tarmac so anyone that can should get home in daylight today :).

*read an interesting article about air temp last night and how the ground, not the sun, heats the air during the day, and then cools it at night so it's colder at night on the ground than at shoulder height!*

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Yep seen some at the Bank area.

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

That's why the liars (sorry weather forecasters) talk about ground frost and air frost.

Gentle/pathetic lightweight stuff in Uxbridge at present. I can't go home until about 5 tonight as I have to wait for my US-based colleagues to wake up for a planning meeting. Good job my car has heated seats and a heated windscreen!

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Throwing it down here ........ just ordered my heated gloves !!!! lol.

Heated jacket liner might follow if they prove good ......

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Sun is shining here in Whitchurch, not a sign of any precipitation :)

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Nothing in Cardiff yet. I hope it stays that way.

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

+1 for Leeds, although it was raining a little while ago.

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

you must have posted that during the only 30 secs of sunshine the whole day

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Nice coat of white stuff (snow!) in the park outside the office here in sunny Waheybridge.

Riding to a hospital appt this arvo- should be interesting. At least traffic will keep the roads OK- it's just the idiots in their cars that I'll be watching for.

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Lol,
As I look out the only window in view which I can see sky, its quite bright out there. It could be overcast but its defo not nasty looking, and through the nearest window to me I can see the building across the road is wet but also that its not raining. I take it the rest of Leeds is dismal?

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

all I can see is grey, wet, cold, poo weather.

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

ooh its getting heavier here now, big fat proper snow flakes. And its settling too.

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Defiantly snowing here, my dog was loving it!

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

I want your dog - I love them. I grew up with one Tell me yours is a daft as a brush too!

As for snow - nothing here quick sleet shower though the sky has a very yellow tinge and looks heavy:smt041

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Yep daft as a brush, but surprisingly cunning all at the same time!

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Just got back home from kingston, decided that it was best to ride in the snow now before it settles rather than later when it maybe has settled and definatly possibly maybe some ice in places

brrrrr cold, but only my hands!

If you are riding, rmember to stuff a bunch of newspapers inside your jacket, it makes you so much warmer, and stop if you are getting cold and cant concentrate. I stopped twice and did a little dance at the roadside to warm up and warmed my hands on the frame

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

No need to bother posting, out of London peeps.

If it's snowing down the smoke, it must be snowing everywhere;)

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

I thought snow was caused by pollution - hence London gets quite a bit :p

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Do we need to go home early cos of the snow/ ice / deadly conditionns on the roads ?????

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

I'm fishing to be let out early but so far no dice ;(
goign to be a slower than normal ride home tonight, I do NOT want to have to try and stop a half ton tourer from kissing tarmac and being left in -2 waiting for a recovery in central London (2 hours+) :-s

If it looks really bad by the time I leave at 6pm I'll leave the bike in the underground carpark and train home but I doubt it'll be that bad....I think

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Or do we just not need to go in? :thumbsup:

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Has London ground to a halt yet?

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

wont be long ed, probably just in time for the rush home as per usual. Today is one of the first days i'm glad to be an unemployed scumbag sitting at home :lol:

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

I've just got home, and can honestly say, that was a horrible 25 minute commute - very cold stinging rain, freezing cold hands (the cat is typing this for me) feet and face.

Might take the car tomorrow :(

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Dolescum

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Warmscum tho ;)

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

And eating mums lovely home cooking to boot since i'm at hers since yesterday. Woo.

Poor bike is out on the street getting snowed on tho, at least back at mine it'd be under a cover, so its not all rosey you know :lol:

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Yay snow! :smt041

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Just think. A flake of snow in London will be national news:rolleyes:

No snow here:D

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

Had a little bit of snow, was more sleet though and didn't settle much.

Re: It's snowing!!!
 

I now have pictures in my head of you dancing like a pixie, next to your bike, with bits of newspaper sticking out of your riding gear.

It's giving me a giggle. Thanks!

Ride from Waheybridge to Kingston Hosp was very cold and snowy. I do think it managed to wash the roadsalt off the bike though. Result!

The bike wasn't liking the cold much- thumping more than purring today. And I'd just got her running sweet! :(

V-Power and FST in the engine though- no knocking and no carb icing. I've planned to get into work tomorrow about 7:30-8. Hope it's not too icy.
