It's snowing!

[Andrij]

It snowed again in E. London, and I am not pleased.  I'm back at work today and was going to cycling in but I'm not keen on dealing with ice, etc.  I'll try again tomorrow.

[PaulR]

Pants.  I'd de-crudded and de-rusted my bike yesterday afternoon after its recent adventures in London's famous snowdrifts.  Now my younger son's school announces it remains partly closed due to lack of crud and rust-forming substances, so I'm stuck (working) at home.  But given how wet the roads were last night, I'm not altogether sorry not to be out skating on my 23mm slicks.

Day eight.

Still no ridey bikey.

 

[MSeries]

Inch or two where I live, snowing as I yomped to the station. Rain in Leeds.

[Wowbagger]

Just grey miserableness here. 0°C, allegedly. Dog sick in night. I stood in it.

Strange way to keep your toes warm! 
I've been out to the chiropractor and the roads are generally OK, just compacted snow/ice on the quieter junctions. Pavements are OK too, dry slush mostly, but compacted snow/ice in places. I took a walking pole out and used it to good effect.

About an inch of snow in Stockwell but the main roads between there and work in Stockwell were clear, prob cos they are busy and mostly bus routes, so I rode in, watching for any rogue icy patches. The hybrid feels like a new bike after its service 

[Aidan]

+2.5 degrees and wet horrible rain here. Should clear the snow if it keeps up all day though   Shame I'm laid low with tonsilitis 

[L CC]

A balmy 3.5 deg yesterday and 2.5 overnight did not shift the ice. I've brought the MTB to work, to ride home, but stuff falling from the sky is settling and stuff left on the ground is not going. Half the lanes are still ice covered.
When is it going to end?

[pdm]

Another 2" here last night. 200 feet lower down towards Sheffield town, there has been almost none.
Our road is thus almost impassible to motons but the main road 800 yards away and 80 feet lower is OKish...
Still -1C here.

In my bit of E. London it did too, but not enough to generate any form of excitement.

Bah

[Charlotte]

I now haz spiky SNO tyres.

It will never SNO again 

[Adam]

About another 2 cms (or just under an inch in old money) yesterday evening.  This, coupled with the fact that it was just above freezing this morning, had the downside that our road, which was previously solid ice, is now a thick slush/icy mix.  This makes it harder to cycle on, using the Marathon Winter tyres. 

I think I might need to get a third set of tyres with massive knobblies on, to cope with the thick loose stuff.  Or another bike..............

My purchase of a small sledge just as last February's thaw came is the reason that Sw18 appears to have missed this so called 'cold snap' that other parts of the country have apparently suffered.

[TimO]

Likewise, I've just got my studded tyres as well, so now we know the snow in London will be gone by the morning!

[Sigurd Mudtracker]

-11ºC most of yesterday, it's warmed up now and running around 0ºC.  Out walking the dogs I saw signs of a potential Great Melt.  But there's still feet of the stuff, the ground is covered everywhere, and I doubt it will disappear quickly.  But by next weekend would be nice - apart from a brief and unsuccessful trial on the trike I haven't been out cycling since mid December.

The White Witch has been banished to the wardrode and the Pevensies are returning to the land of Spare Oom.


I am planning on giving the DIY tyres my legs a rest tomorrow and taking Frankenfixie.  Wednesday will be car service day so it's a car + Brompton commute.

[Moloko]

Lots of grass shoots now starting to appear through the snow.
Time for spring, time for spring I say...

[Cyclops]

Scotland's entrants in this winter's Darwin awards. Luckily the Union Canal isn't deep - I've taken people canoeing there a few times and my advice to them if they fall out is to stand up and they should find their heads above water.

[Zoidburg]

Well the thaw lasted all of a day, freezing again now and looking like more snow.

[Greenbank]

Scotland's entrants in this winter's Darwin awards.

*pet peeve*

If they survived (or didn't make themselves sterile during the stunt) then they're just fuckwits, not Darwin Award candidates.

[Paul D]

The snow in Dorset is coming down as an unusual, liquid-based variant, not previously seen this decade. Nice stiff Northerly to ride into once soaked. Great.

[clarion]

Hmm.  Looks like we have that sort of sno here, too (Londinium SE1).  Hey-ho.

[Basil]

Oh no!  Not again.

I've just looked at Will It Rain.  There's a hell of a lot of stuff heading my way.

Oi.  You lot in the SW.  Is it wet stuff or white stuff?

[andygates]

Blizzarding a mix of both.  Heavy wet SNO here right now, settling and heatsucky.  It's taken out my satellite dish!
