We have sno!!

And a horse has pooed in the street outside.

I don't think these are connected.

Bright skies, sun, no snow, warm balmy air here, two miles up the road from you.

God hates Nailsworth.

A few flakes of snow in Amsterdam, and then a fuck ton of hail...

You don't hear that meteorological unit on BBC Weather...
It was a day like any other in Ireland, only it wasn't raining

A few flakes on the way to Pattingham at 9:30 a.m. (and a very cold wind).

Same here, blue cloudless skies, as it has been for several days.  The only difference is the bitter north wind.
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

We had mega hail earlier (I assume the leftovers of QG’s from Amsterdam) and now the sun is shining. We are planning a walk but the weather is so changeable that after I have finished my cuppa and we are ready to go it might be hailing again.

Snow first thing here, now bright blue skies and warm in a sheltered spot, but as soon as you step a few feet sideways, windy as feck and definitely chilly.

I awoke to the garden being covered in snow this morning.  Yesterday I was in the garden working wearing just a teeshirt and a cardigan.

It just started snowing in Middle Earth.  Sort it out, Met Office.

We had a couple of hours' worth yesterday afternoon but it was apolitical - didn't lie.  Just now it's massing up over the hills to our north for another go.
I've dusted off all those old bottles and set them up straight

It's trying to snow in Maidenhead, very fine small flakes that are being blown about in the wind. None of it is settling though.

Snowing like mad here now on the Yorkshire Wolds.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Due to other people's hospital appointments overrunning and me having a lie in, I didn't get anywhere near going out on the bike until about 1.30.

About halfway round my planned route I could no longer see Roseberry Topping. "as long as it stays over there, I'll be fine" thought I. Just as I started down a fast hill, there was a whiteout, ish.

I cancelled all plans for the rest of the route and headed straight back home.

Knowing I had a shit day ahead (see what have you fettled thread) the last thing I wanted today was to wake up to a world covered in snow, but of course that's what the curtain opening ceremony revealed.  It then threw masses of snow at us at all the times the Met Office told us it would definitely NOT snow. Rodding drains is a pretty poor method of entertainment at the best of times, but in the snow....

No snow here, but cold wind. A short burst of hail around midday was all that could be mustered in way of precipitation.

Cycled to physio this morning in snow, came out half an hour later to beautiful sunshine. Cycled to work half an hour after that, snow storm again.

At various points this afternoon the whether has been either beautiful sunshine, or building shaking blizard. Snow often going horizontal, rather than falling.

We had a huge shower of polystyrene balls during the afternoon; I can only assume they all ended up in one massive heap at the end of the road because the wind just fired it all sideways.
