Yeah! My Spidey snow sense kicked in in the wee hours of the morning and I peeked outside to see it snowing. Wasn't lying in the village so I didn't don my boots. But on getting up again later this morning I saw it had settled on the hills 'round the village. All bonny and white.
My inner bairn was filled with glee, though I had to come into town today instead of going up to play. Still there's always tomorrow!
 
It's forecast to hit us by midnight with 50mph winds coming down from t north
 
1c this morning and not a cloud in the sky...eight weeks to 25c in Gran Canaria :)

There may just possibly be some minus temperatures by Sunday over here, a long time coming, it was 18 c the other day.

I miss the snow.
 
-12C at sunrise (8AM) with no wind. Probably 12" on the ground but settled. 2" new over night.
The tourist snowmobile crowds are here, lots up top, 200cm in most places.
 
Not often.

There are photos of Cornish snow but its very rare

As happened today we get it all in hail.
 
Cool, just wondered. Bit like Scottish sunshine then, we get all that as hazy!

Chap I shared a house with in Inverness was from Southern Ireland and had never seen snow. We cane out of the pub one night to find about a foot had fallen. He was totally amazed, being the nice chap that I am I took his stunned amazement as a chance to pelt him with his first snowball in the back of the head. :D

Am I the only person on here who doesn't think snow and freezing temperatures are the greatest weather for camping in?

I'm quite prepared to deal with them, I just don't find them anything to get excited about. I'm camping tomorrow overnight, so i may well have to deal with them. That's fine. it is the strong wind that i'm worried about. Falling trees are no fun.
 
Hey Mike! Where you been? Not heard from you in ages.
And yes, you're weird, snow is wonderful to camp in. Being Scottish it means no midges.

I thought the same thing when I realised it was going to frost tonight :D I thought, "That's the last of the blighters for this year :D :D Peace, and I can put the Autan stuff by for a few months."
I don't think we're getting snow though.
