Snow Spotters 2018

[southhamster]

Has no one told the weather that it is meant to be spring yet?... Then again, last time we had snow, Great Northern actually ran a relatively decent train service!

That's cos northerners are well 'ard not like softy southern 3rd rail trains

The worst of it is, my fridge is empty, so i genuinly have to brave the panic buyers again to get food.

... the hell? It's March! Is this part of Putin's tit-for-tat after the expulsion of diplomats? Weather war?

We even have heating (for about 3 days a year) on our trains down here!

Oh great. That's us again. There are rules about this sort of thing. We get it properly once every 8-10 years and the rest of the time we get a few flakes that cause chaos but have melted in a few hours.

 

We have had our once in 8-10 years a fortnight ago. We had lots, we got it before the rest of the country and it stuck around a long time. It was even minus double digits. That's it. No more until 2026! Them's the rules.

That request needs to be completed, by hand, in triplicate and submitted to the relevant authority three weeks in advance.

I should flipping hope so. It’s been 14C here today! I was outside in my shirt sleeves at 7pm putting a plastic sheet over the windscreen of my car to make it easier to clear tomorrow. It really doesn’t feel like it will be snowing tomorrow

I have several tasks I perform each Saturday (shopping for dad, paying his bills etc) I am not sure that I will get out of his road if I go down there tomorrow. It is very steep and quite narrow, made all the more difficult by the on-road not-quite double parking the residents like to do.

Driving down there is like navigating a chicane. In icy conditions...

I was out in a t-shirt earlier stripping off old ivy from the outside of the house. 45 mins later I was in a down jacket with fleece top as the wind arrived.

We were outside working until 10pm last night getting 5 horses ready for various events this morning and you could feel the temperature plummet as the night wore on. This morning we got up at 5:30am to discover two events have cancelled overnight and the other is making a decision at 8:30am...

 

Looks like it's going to hit us about 3pm this afternoon with a belt of heavy snow Saturday night....

[6Foot2]

It's snowing here now. Quite heavy, and earlier than forecast.

 

[AJWhite1970]

And the third event has just cancelled as well.... On the plus side, early finish today as wont have to hang round waiting for them all to come back tonight

[elsiegee40]

It has just started snowing here in west Kent

[Andrew_C]

The odd flake blowing around in Winchester. Still in + temperatures (just).

Proper snow here now not that my daughter seems to mind....

Been trying to snow here on and off all day. Very cold - lots of wind chill. Took the dog out and the little...angel...saw deer on the golf course and he was off! Cue me having to hang around for 15 mins till he came back. Minus his nice warm sweatshirt (he is half whippet so very thin and gets chilled easily)

Were you able to capture it on video?

 

[mikeprice]

saw a teenage girl standing around on road - probably waiting fro a lift

 

wearing a shortsleeved t-shirt , shorts and trainers

 

she must have been freezing - but was determined not to show it

[6Foot2]

Snowing quite heavily again and trying to settle. This is from the CCTV at work (a few miles from home)

 

[mikeprice]

Apparently lots of Widnes Rugby fans are annoyed 'cos they got to Wakefield only form the match to be postponed then cancelled

 

when it was obviously going to get bad before noon

Been blizzard/sunshine/blizzard/sunshine all day in Sheffield area. Had to push 4 cars up a hill on the way back this evening. Got the bmw home ok though. And a little bit of fun too!

[Andrew_C]

More here now than last time!

[elsiegee40]

Not for us. Standard Kentish snow this time... barely covers the grass. If we hadn’t had 6 inches last time, the local papers would be getting excited, but even they can’t be bothered.
