Snow on the BBC weather forcast.
- Thread starter Robbi
- Start date
I have blue skies and big fluffy clouds [only a few of them] quite calm and relatively warm [above freezing anyway] I've really missed out on the snow this year, the town I'm in seems to have it's own weather system...
Just back from the shop, My usual corner shop didn't have what i needed so had to walk further then expected...the walk back into sleet and high winds without a hat was a nightmare...Massive Brain freeze, i thought i was gonna die.
ps, Snowed here, but never lay...According to BBC?? Heavy snow forecast for 12 hours from 3pm onwards. we'll see.

Why do you English folk prey for so much snow when the whole country stops running when snow cover is only 4"?
If you like snow and cold come here. Enough snow to use sledge & dog teams for hunting and cold enough for winter clothes. Its currently around -13c and was around -30 last night - and its been like this for weeks now.

I guess we have typical island weather. Which is to say, you never have a clue whats going to happen. For weeks now, walking the dog, the paths in the woods have become streams. Just mud mud and more mud. And gales gales and more gales. And rain. We had a nice couple of days last week, where a few inches of snow stayed, ground was frozen and it was bliss...!

Because it brightens up a otherwise bloody miserable grey skyline that we have here most of the year...Snow here in Scotland is not what it used to be. That's for sure. you need to head into the mountains for real snow nowadays.Why do you English folk prey for so much snow when the whole country stops running when snow cover is only 4"?

The skies have cleared in the past half hour, and the temperature has really dropped. If it freezes and then snows on top of that, we'll be white in the morning
The roofs are white now, but the grass just looks like it's had a shake of icing sugar and the paths and roads are still sodden wet. We've had a lot of rain the past few days.

Son2 looked out the rubber grip crampon things and the heavy gloves before he went to bed. He has a mile's walk to the train station before seven tomorrow morning. If the paths aren't covered in snow, the black ice will be treacherous since it's been so wet.
Be kind of nice to wake up to a bright clean looking world though

Nice bit of snow this morning, took the dog out pre dawn, and as I was pulling up, I saw something on the other side of the car park, so put my main beams on. A rabbit. A few seconds later, I saw a hell of a race, as a stoat, chased it round the field. Dont know what the outcome was, but I had no idea there were stoats around there. Real tough little blighters, as the rabbit weighs ten times as much as they do, but they can easily kill them, by wearing them down, then pouncing like a cat, on their back, and snapping their neck before dragging them off.
Is the snow still missing lauraentius? here it's coming down and settling on the roads.
