How's the Snow with you?
Re: How's the Snow with you?
Woke to a crisp white landscape. Currently(07.48) temp is -6 with a wind chill predicted to be -9. Roads like sheets of ice. Been up since 7am & only 3 cars have gone past(normally well into double figures by this time). All Schools in my area closed. No refuge collections today,bin men put on gritting duties. Will clear/rock salt our front path just in case Postie/Couriers do get through.

Gotta love the Welsh Assembly & their radical policies? Liking the concept of Refugee collections, but I fear it's just Refuse?welshandy wrote:Woke to a crisp white landscape.

Same in Grimsby. Cold though!
Re: How's the Snow with you?
A little birdie tells me much colder, potentially wintry conditions are incoming off an increasingly colder mainland?
Get set from about a week or so, when the word snow could be mentioned more often. All could change but current thoughts are this could be headline making stuff for quite a few. Spring ain't gonna spring just yet! Don't put the thermals away just yet

Most of the country due to be hit this week, it seems.
Re: How's the Snow with you?
It looks like heavy snow for Thursday/Friday starting in the South and moving North. Of course, that's on top of what we get before then!

Re: How's the Snow with you?
Paddy, you're probably working as I write; 'poofta-shnee', powder-snow, what we skiers dream for. I'm off to Aviemore next Sunday for the week. Last year there wasn't any of the stuff and I spent a couple of dull days Lossiemouth instead. First visit to Loss in the 1970s was quite the opposite: Jags, Gannets, Shakledraggers and ott Vulcans and a NL Neptune; where I became hooked for summer activities!

Snowing hard in Bury St. Edmunds area, and settling as I type.
