Lots forecast here tomorrow.  Bet it never happens.

Rats, it had just gotten warm enough for me to lounge around in my underwear without the heating on.

We had hailstones about half an hour ago, and now we've got white rain - technically snow but far too wet to lie.
I wish it would go away, I'm getting fed up being stuck inside at the weekends. It's not doing anything for my weight loss plan.  ::-)
Do not clench. It only makes it worse.

We've got some snow in Staffordshire - about an inch.
However, the roads are black already so I don't suppose it will last.

Nothing but dull grey skies in north Kent, but it does feel pretty raw out there.

Dammit, after the spring-like weather we had earlier in the week, I was looking forward to a pleasant ride today.  >:(

Same here in the Chilterns, small bits still falling - scenic!

Got a bit in East Yorkshire, it's laid on the grass, but strangely the roads are clear and dry!   Looks like a nice morning for a ride ;D

Snowing, and cold enough for it to lie, in central SW London. Can't recall this much snow all winter.

I rode through a blizzard on (what should have been) the final 5 k of the Elenith last night.

Looked out a south facing window and there's snow on the Mendips, looked out north facing window and there's snow on the hills of South Wales.  Brrr!

It came down hard during the night and we had a covering of about 5 cm.  The sun is out now and it is now melting.

Brilliant white carpet of the stuff here this morning, but then we are on the hilly side of the city just on the edge of the peaks. I suspect it will all be melted by 10.
It seems there is a another heavy bout predicted for 6pm this evening....

Today was supposed to have been the Mid Xmas spring Ashdown Forest ride; been snwing heavily and settling for about an hour now.

Ice axe for the Irish Mail at this rate  :-\

after all the daffs being blown over by the wind we now have these seasonal tulips  :(



nice to see someone's enjoying it out there



I've got to ride that to work later

Snowing in Luton too (which has improved the look of the place).
