Hoping to get some on the edge of Exmoor.

Slow, gentle snow here.

peliroja · « **Reply #4302 on:** 16 January, 2016, 09:14:48 pm »

We have about two inches now. Our local builders are sliding down our front street (it's very steep) on a wheel less skateboard. The dog isn't happy and is barking at them all to go away.

Just a few lazy flakes here in Bucks right now.

YES!!

I don't share your sentiment bumper.
There's several inches of snow on the car (South MCR) and I'm supposed to be setting off into town to get a train to Crewe.
After that it's a ride to Cholmondeley* to meet up with friends for a ride around Cheshire and Shropshire.
I'm thinking about going down there in the car ................

*We're staying at the Cholmondeley Arms. Dry January is taking the weekend off.

Hope you've got studs on Andrew

Andrew Br · « **Reply #4308 on:** 17 January, 2016, 06:35:34 am »

No ............
Winter tyres on the car mind.

After a quick walk around outside (crunch, crunch, crunch) I think driving is the sensible option.

Snow here in NRW.

I bought a new car on Thursday but it doesn't have winter tyres so I can't use it today. Fortunately I have a Velomobile! Don't have to scrape the snow off that either, bonus!

You need a fat bike.

2hrs out in fresh powder around my local woods. Just a few rabbit tracks and my trail. I'll be out again tonight.

I may need to sacrifice more beer to the snow gods, it worked last time. Plleeeeaaassseee snow tonight/tomorrow so I can abandon work

Loooking out of my bedroom window this morning it was disappointingly not-white. Looks like nothing much settled here.

Nothing in London.

Maybe not in your part.....
SE had cars, roofs and bins covered in a thin smattering at 03:30 this morning.
That smattering remains.

And Slough

CAMRAMan · « **Reply #4314 on:** 17 January, 2016, 10:26:28 am »

Just the merest dusting in Warwick, and that's melting...

Ditto in Shropshire.

peliroja · « **Reply #4316 on:** 17 January, 2016, 11:07:10 am »

Four inches in Skipton.

When does the cabinet declare a State of Emergency?

When does the cabinet declare a State of Emergency?

When it starts interfering with trains north of the river.

(Some sleet last night in middle earth, all gone by morning.)

Wait! You mean there is something north of the river?

Tilley dog quite enjoyed crazying about off lead in the snow this evening. She dives head-first into it, snorts, tries to eat it. Pees on snowmen. The normal dog-in-snow stuff.

Vince · « **Reply #4323 on:** 17 January, 2016, 05:13:23 pm »

Strange. Only a bit of frost outside out house and the surrounding streets. Off the estate though there was about an inch of snow the a kilometre further on nothing.

First really cold day of the year though.

There was some frozen precipitation in this corner of NW Londonton.

The evidence has mostly disappeared.
