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.htm

I got a "Guru Meditation:
XID: 726996615"

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

I've just been on a short trip to the shops.  There was a heavy flurry of slushy snow on the way out, turning to gits of rain on the way back.

Mini blizzard in Luton!  It was rather nasty trying to cycle over the M1 with a cross wind blowing very cold lumps of ice sideways into your eyes.

We had a sprinkling overnight, but it soon melted.  Just been out on the Brommie - it's bitingly cold.

I even pumped up the slowly deflating rear tyre in preparation for the piddly 4 miles round trip commuting today.  But then I looked out of the window.  Bloody weather.

It's snowing!

Horizontal snow, bleh.
Do not clench. It only makes it worse.

Up here in Banffshire it has not stopped snowing all day.  Unlikely to stop all night.  Ride back to Aberdeen may be interesting.

Its been snowing in a half-arsed kind of way all the way from County Durham back to North Yorkshire; as far as I can tell it isn't sticking but my drive down the A1 definitely had a 'Millennium Falcon about to jump into hyperspace' vibe about it.

Canardly took it instead (well, the less impressive murky daylight version); we thought it was a speed camera.


Enough snow appears to have settled here to make the pavements treacherous in the morning.  I don't think it'll last, though.  The temperature's barely zero.

Snow here but roads clear of ice, and very little traffic.  Sadly, I had to turn back for other reasons, but I don't think the snow will settle.
Getting there...

Snowing in Brighton. Not laying.
Certainly never seen cycling south of Sussex

Warwick had a slushy inch or so by the morning. It's sleety stuff coming down now, but it's over freezing and the schools are open.

Reading:
Temperature steady at zero to 1C overnight. A thin coating of wet slushy snow. Roads & pavements just wet.

Trying to snow now, but keeps turning to drizzly sleet.

Whitstable: A mixture of white and slush on the ground, with the occasional flurry of something that is not raindrops.

Looks pretty, but I hate it, now.

An inch, maybe two. -1.

Like Clarion, who is only just up the road a bit from me, it's snowing here, but not settling, other than on plants, because the ground is just too warm.

Biggin Hill airport is registering a balmy 0.6°C, and London City 1°C, so I'll be heating up as I go inwards. :)
Actually, it is rocket science.

We had a light sprinkling this morning. It's almost gone but the wind is bitter cold.

Zero sno here, the sun is shining and it's only slightly cold, certainly no need for winter warm cycling gear to ride back from the garage (the car is in a for a service)
