Snowmegadon UK?

Frostmageddon here. Nice, crunchy frost that looks a bit like snow but has you on your posterior quick enough to surprise you.

Walking into work this morning I hit the top of a steep downhill and thought "this is not going to be good". So I kept off the footpath and walked right down the middle of the road.

Often the best way I find Human feet make a path slippy but for some reason a road with the same conditions (no gritting) is grippier.

Glad I'm not in the great lakes area. - 27C with strong winds. Advisory is to stay indoors because of a serious risk to life. Puts it all into perspective!

We had more last week when it wasn't forecast. Just rain and now ice. A little disappointed not to wake up to a white out.

Had a fun cycle to work this morning. I took the xc forest route to avoid the icy roads...

Same trail, later on the way home.

Just my tyre tracks from the morning, and the path of a rabbit or two. The only souls to make this passage today.

Woke to a dusting of snow. About a centimetre or so. All gone by midday. Senior kids had a snow day, there is mild panic buying in the co op. "Just stocking up" This time last year I was off grid in sweden. Minus 20 to 30 at night. Melting snow to wash and drink. A log fire between me and the cold. This is positively warm in comparison.when you jump in a snowdrift and it's deeper than you are tall thens the time to worry. My drumming class has been cancelled for tomorrow due to the non existent snow just in case. Goodness me!what's this place comming to! There's me going out and about saying what a lovely day (cold but sunny ) and everyone else is whinging about it. Find me a box of sanity someone ... please!

Woke up to the first snow of the year..Well just a dusting on the High Downland, mostly gone from the Southern face (where us sunshine boys live...... )by midday or just after but lingering along the Northern side.

Woke up to an inch or so but it's mostly melted now. Took this this morning before it all went

Blimey !! That's clever, let me guess...you were in a Helicopter with an orchestra?....

Don't be ridiculous. The orchestra were in a blimp overhead...

 

[saxonaxe]

Blimp?...Ah! gotcha, a sort of Led Zeppelin mob..

No snow in Cornwall today at all, the missus had me doing a bit of gardening, Dartmoor looked quite magical as normal.

Finaly! Snowmageddon is started it's snowing at last! Gently falling flakes my sled opened one eye and has gone back to sleep with the gentle admonition to wake it up later when it's deep enough. We are supposed to get several centimetres today and it's two hours early. I'm off out to scrape a snowball... but the kids are all back at school so no one to play with..dammed difficult to throw snowballs at yourself!

 

[Tony]

nothing here, a bit of hail sitting about on the frozen ground, come on snow, the kids are desperate for a week off school!!

 

[Nomad64]

A bit of a dusting of snow overnight here in mid Wales - still chilly today!

 

[Woody girl]

Well that was a real tease. I got all excited and it lasted about 10 minutes. Ah well I've made a stew lit the log burner and I'm back to knitting another pair of socks in front of the fire.

Kids got sent home early because the forecast is bad, well, good, but some think it's bad!
Fingers crossed, it's supposed to snow for the rest of the day, we'll see...

Good luck, it’s been freezing fog and no snow so far pretty much all day in the midlands

We've had a beautiful sunny day here. Bitter cold right enough, just scraped above 0˚C, but still and calm.
Dropped already to -3˚C though.
No snow, and blessedly the paths are clear of ice.

Horizontal,driving snow in a bitter Northerly wind here. The reporters on the local radio station are almost beside themselves with excitement and have already broadcast that one of the 278,000 cars in the area has become stuck...well a lady drove it into a ditch actually, but hey! it's newsworthy....

It’s cold right enough, but it’s not that I need to be told by delighted forecasters who haven’t forecast a scrap of it right yet. I’m glued to the forecast, just in case they tell me I need to put gloves on. I’ve got them right here beside me ready to deploy, AND a scarf! Reckon I’ve preempted them on the scarf thing. If the weather really does get cold, expect to see me on The Breakfast Show tomorrow where I’ll be offering tying methods.

If I don’t roll my car exiting the drive.
