It has poured down all day, high winds too, and now it's snowing hard enough that it's actually lying, even on sodden wet grass.
It's a Winter wonderland out there. First real snow we've seen this Winter.

Tempted to go and play :eek:

Stay warm :)

I've had enough for now you can keep it Mary - We're too backed up on outdoor jobs after all the snow and rain

Beautiful sunny weather here in Florida. And I'm ailing with flu!? Hopefully well enough to make it to the Jimmy Buffet concert tomorrow night.

Right, that's it! Mary's got snow, you've got sun. I'm going to have to move.

Hope you're feeling better for the concert santaman, enjoy :)

Woke up to snow this morning - our first of the year. The thing is, we're at sea level - the snow is lying (only an inch thick, but still) on the beach in front of the house. Rare as hen's teeth, and beautiful for those who don't have to commute in it!

Sounds promising. Looks like it'll be here soon then. I have to travel across saddleworth moor tommorow, across the pennines on the M62. Hope thats not too bad.

Yeh, its always horrendous there. Dread it, in the snow. Especially that bit with the farmhouse in the middle of the motorway.

We had quite a drop last night, woke up to a covering, though nothing you could get excited or concerned about.

It's blowing hard out there at the moment and there's a bit of sleety stuff flying around but;

I've just checked the radar: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk:umbrella:

and we're in for a bit of a drogging, though it doesn't look like it'll last that long.

cheers

HWMBLT says that snow came our way from Canada, and the wind's are changing and we'll be getting wind from the Arctic instead :yikes:

I'm watching a wee reed bunting singing his heart out on my Rowan tree :), and the Sun has just broken through :D
The weather might be dreadful, but the world out there's starting to think about Spring.
