6" snow over night here and still snowing, it's time to do trick and have fun in the snow, no long distances today

Snowed in Dunfermline overnight! Doesn't look too deep so I might head out for a gentle pootle on my tourer along the cycle path towards alloa.

About an Inch up here in the dizzy heights of West Sheffield....
Time to break out the snow bicycle for the first time since February...

I'm going to go for a spin on Regina

Oooh! Hope my David's going to be OK; he's at Cambridge's Institute of Astronomy today and cycling there from the station. He's on my old tourer (dissuaded him from taking the Brompton.)

Main roads seem to be OK...

It is a light dusting rather than a heavy layer.

More sno here, in (now) sunny North Yorkshire. Rumours that penguins and polar bears are migrating here might not be that far off the mark (ready for the ride on 11th Dec)

Thanks. He's probably awheel right now.
He'll text me if there's a problem, I suppose.

PaulR · « **Reply #1586 on:** 27 November, 2010, 10:28:12 am »

a minimal dusting is descending on Forest Hill...

...or it might just be dandruff from the parakeets.

Regulator · « **Reply #1587 on:** 27 November, 2010, 10:58:06 am »

SNO all gone...

noisycrank · « **Reply #1588 on:** 27 November, 2010, 11:00:34 am »

about eight inches and it went all night

Been snowing here since mid-morning, sticking in places. Could be an interesting ride this evening

as it proved. 1 1/2 hours to do 12 miles

There was about 1 cm or so of snow, but it (and the water on the roads) had frozen hard. Very precarious progress was made on the downhills. The coaster brake was very useful indeed, though. Marathon Plusses are awful on ice.

One very nasty moment when a driver overcooked it on a lane near our house, lost control and came careering down the road unable to slow down. I had to dive into the hedge.

Excited cats today though. They keep coming in to tell us about it.

I live just off the Snow Roads route. Could be interesting this weekend.

A few flakes blowing around in Reading a little while ago. Blue sky now.

Do you want to email me an entry for the Snow Roads perm*?

Whereabouts are you, btw?

*"Somebody" actually did the ride in November two or three years ago.

Blimy. We were snowed in on Friday!
Now the problem is ice on our hill out.
Neighbour had a go and spun and crashed.
I've made it to the shops in Llandysul.

No snow in London.

toekneep · « **Reply #1596 on:** 27 November, 2010, 01:32:15 pm »

Not a cloud in the sky here on the Fylde. Off for a short, but I suspect, chilly ride in a little while.

Ankle deep, I have been told.

We did have some snow Wednesday night / Thursday morning, but it was just an icing-sugar coating and didn't last long.

We appear to have had some snow overnight here in Birmingham. Temperature is still failing to get above zero, so all things being equal, I'm glad the Tunnel Ride has been cancelled.
