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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
