Just a dusting here in Flanders

I was about to say "nothing in Glasgow" but then looked out the window and small white flakes are falling out of the sky. Doesn't look like it's settling though.

Black ice again this morning.

snowing quite enthusiastically here now

Erm... badly enough to cause you (and therefore us!) a transport issue? Don't take silly risks, mind.... we'd figure summat out if it came to it.

It's been drizzling with rain here all day. Which is a bit odd, as it is much colder than yesterday.

No more snow fall here, but with some effort Wandsworth Council has managed to retain some icy slush on Tooting Bec Common that's still quite iffy to cycle over.

There's now an almost clear very narrow path through it, but if you move a few inches off of that, it's decidedly slippery. I barely see any other snow or ice on the way in, so managing to retain it has taken a decided effort. Letting it look at some salt would probably make it melt, so they're doing spectacularly well to not put any salt on it whatsoever.

Bollox, according to the BBC it's been snowing at home again. I wonder how on earth we're going to get the kittehs back from the cattery-in-the-middle-of-nowhere on Sunday....

Another covering here again. If it carries on it'll be deep tomorrow, the flakes are huge!
There's still a couple of hard packed inches left from the last flurry.

It's pouring down here. (With rain)

Basil · « **Reply #3735 on:** 25 January, 2013, 07:31:09 pm »

Bloody Hell . It's torrential.
If this turns to snow inland, you'll be in for it.

Bicycle with studded tyres and trailer? I reckon I could shift my two for ten miles, albeit with a bit of effort on my part.

We had torrents during the evening.

Another inch or two on top of the ice here. Grrrrreat. Luckily today is house viewing not bike riding. It better go in the next 24 hours. I'm rather fed up of it.

The BIG THAW is here with a vengeance.

Well the 10 cm heavy snipocolipse that We were promised was replaced by 1mm of thawing slush.

Arrived at the dry slope for my son's ski lesson to find it was closed because it was too icy!

Fortunately it's just reopened

Very thick in York, 15cm plus. Went shopping at 7 a.m. Had to shovel the snow out of the drive and off the car, the LA gritters however did a fantastic job and we had no trouble on the road. The store car park was virgin and we nearly got stuck unparking but the fwd yaris coped wonderfully.

Big thaw here in ABZ.
Slushy and a bit icy in the mornings, but roads OK.

Don't think there will be cat-retrieving problems unless the cattery is up several miles of steep un-treated farm track.

There was a little bit of snow here yesterday evening. Just rain that turned to snow really. All gone within an hour if not half an hour.

A light slippery sprinkling here this morning, which wasn't too bad.

But what the heck is this? This is not what I ordered : http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/take-care-up-north-ice-and-snow-warnings-issued-as-winter-tightens-grip-again-8481746.html

I got a "Guru Meditation:

error when I clicked on that link. Maybe the internet's saying we need to keep these things in perspective, cosmically.

(I think you missed an "L" from the end)
