[copper_head]

Its been snowing for about 5 hours now in East yorks,

Crisp and neat and even

Stopped snowing here about 3o/c. What's left does'nt look like it will last. Sky's clearing a bit.

Just got back from a long weekend in the woods. i was hoping for some white stuff and when I woke up this morning there was a dusting but no more. Then at about 10 o'clock it started again and continued through to the late afternoon so the woods were transformed into this:

and this:

Then when it finally stopped, the sun came out to bid farewell to a magical day and wonderful weekend out.

Pretty much the same this side. It waited until I did the postal run to widdle it down, stopping once I'd got back ~ at which point I was a rather wet and unhappy bunny :vio:.

 

[Niels]

About 10 cm now and still coming down!

Looks like you southerners have more snow than we do. We had half a meter snow in october, but a rainy november took care of that.
Now we have about 2 cm.
But I`m not complaining.

Aparenty Wales and the SW are due some epic snow tonight and overnight. Am hoping there is some left for us Midlanders but its not often the met puts out a red warning for snow and blizzard conditions.

Coming down nicely in Leeds right now, cold and dry enough for it to start settling on the roads too

same in Castleford.

I should really go out and start shovelling grit onto the road from the yellow bin, but then again if I can't get to work in the morning it's no hardship

Got no choice, I'm a grit volunteer for my village. We make sure the whole village is gritted so all the old dears can get out and the kids can get to school. Some of them love us and some hate us. Guess which is which

I thought as much . 'tis barely a flesh wound at the moment, could become fun given time .

I have one very excited daughter praying that school will be cancelled tomorrow.

You sound surprised . I can't remember school being closed as a kid, falling over seemed to be considered a) It's your own fault, you knew it was icy! and b) character building c) You're cold? Put your coat back on.

Saying that, given our location we don't seem to get the drifts* now either , nor do we get the Narwhal sized icicles


* I learned to make snow holes in the drifts which formed along the hedge line at the top of the hill .

rather hoping she goes or my day will be hauling a sledge

Only one way though
Perhaps you should suggest taking turns on the sled?

Cant remember which winter it was i guess it was early 80s but the drifts were epic and covering cars. Lets hope climate change brings them back
