It's just snowed [for about 2 hrs] - not settled it's a little too warm and wet on the ground for that.
Anyone else spotted any?
I may get a white Christmas yet

1st snow??

It's so sodden wet here that the flurry that came down when I was feeding the birds just totally disappeared.
I'd love a bright, crisp, clear Winter.
It's perishing cold out there though, the Sun's really low and it's lovely when it shines through.
The birds are feeding so frantically this morning, the Rowan tree looks like it still has leaves but it's just full of the birds.

Lucky sods ! 
I've been ploutering through the icy cold wetness that is my garden, I've finally given up and come in for a warm up. My hands and feet are at that nipping stage of downright unhappiness.
At least the snow would be dry to move around in.
Oh well, it's early yet.

Enjoy as long as it lasts!
I hope you will get to enjoy a White Christmas!
(I hope it is still PC to call it that?)
Winters here are a pain. Cooler, around 27-30 C, NE dryish winds.

No, it carries on, just not as tidily. We don't really do snow tyres in the population centres, so traffic has issues, but once the gritters have been out, it just moves along again....usually
Hope you enjoy it while it lasts. A good dusting does look nice.
Tis the season for good B&W photography.
Knee deep overnight makes a person think twice about real snow tires. (The mountain peak logo with the snowflake.)
Legally, we have to use them, Oct.01 - Mar.31. Mine are on rims so the changeover is pretty quick.
Needed new which cost me, $1,200 (750BPS) by the time I drove away.
Too soft to run all year, they scrub themselves to death on bare roads.
We get maybe a meter of snow in the village and that slumps, compacts and melts from time to time.
Up top and no drifting, might be 10m deep by spring.

I’m up in Shetland at the moment, and it snowed a little last night...50mph wind to go with it right enough

Snow/sleet on the M62 coming over the Pennines tonight . Miserable driving even in the 110.
Back home now though with the log burner roaring away

Dammit! where are you? We're growing flippers and gills here in CarmarthenSnowing in South Wales right now. Standing room only at the bird table.
Thing is that we don't get snow often enough, or long enough, to lose the delight of seeing it come down
Our maritime climate really is, and snow might lie on the hills but most of the population live in the milder lowlands.You have to live very differently from us through Winter. Our seasons slowly move through the changes of the year, and though Winter is Winter, it's rarely a long never ending freezing one. We can have snow, sunshine, rain, sleet, flat calm and gales, all in the same day....thinking on it that's pretty normal. Right now we're sodden wet, and chilly, but not freezing. Just more mud really
No wonder we look forward to the bright crisp cold of snowy days.M

Us too....even the pigeons under the birdfeeders are growing webbed feet
