Re: Snow
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. |

Re: Snow
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.

Re: Snow
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

Re: Snow
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.
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. |

Re: Snow
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.

Re: Snow
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. |

Re: Snow
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. |

Re: Snow
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!
