I wish I was in the Lake District! I used to go every year in winter, but circumstances....

No Snow here on the Hants/Wilts border, but it is still registering minus 7 outside my house, I don't know how low it got last night?

We woke up to find a thin dusting.

It's been minus lots here for a few days - down to -8 yesterday - but this morning it's PLUS 3deg. Snow going quickly.

We're forecast it tonight. So I've been out this morning and done all necessary shopping, and am looking forward to a lovely walk in the snow tomorrow.

I don't quite get the excitement. It's due to snow on a Saturday night and then warm up on a Sunday morning. So there'll be some snow early on a Sunday morning. Big whoopy-doo.

Only -2.5 here, with some snow, though I suspect the windchill is quite a bit lower. Chorley and Leyland have freezing rain coming down with black iced pavements.... lethal!

I have never seen weather conditions like this. Raining onto freezing ground and cars. Pavements and vehicles covered in a thin layer of ice. :o

SW Cambs has been below freezing for a few days but with no moisture so we are free of ice. Snow is forecast but if it stays below zero, no problem. I fear we will get the usual snow->thaw->freeze->ice.

It started snowing here in the early afternoon, exactly as forecast. It's been snowing ever since but it is very fine - not big flakes. Little wind, so no drifting. There's possibly a couple of inches of settled snow.

Totally. Which is why snow that's here today and gone tomorrow is a letdown.

I lost interest when the council wrecked the sledge run on Tapton Park by building a huge banked earthwork maze on it as a "Percent for Art" scheme. The locals still call it Tapton Tip.
Never mind, the Imperial Russian Stout at the beer festival was good this afternoon. :wink: :oops:

Snow has just started to fall. Nothing settling yet, forecast is 2-4 inches overnight.
