Cold and windy in Eastbourne. Booo
Nothing here. 🙁
Good inch in Chesterfield this morning and was snowing heavily when I left the house at 6:30am, bugger all in Sheffield city.
This is one of the major disappointments with living on the SE coast. Humph. On the IOW ferry and they could do with turning the bloody heating up too.
Thin covering in Skipton, which means plenty in the Dales normally. And it isn't going anywhere at this temperature.
We have a light smattering, like the top of a cake. Rather disappointing
Anyone in the Cardiff disappointed this morning - sorry, it's my fault. Swapped the tyres over last night.
dunno about snow in aberdeen but judging by the number of crashes reported on local news there must be at least a 1/8th of an inch.
GET IN !
It's actually happening - in Hampshire. Winter, Christmas, SNOWWWWWW !
Oh, hang on, that's not a blizzard-bearing cloud at all; just some steam 😳

8-10cm on the car this morning.
And it's snowing still.
Fatbike at the ready....
Lucky man Colin.
It's currently 29degrees at my second home 😉
The area where I use my turbo trainer Even directly under an air conditioning unit reading 17 ......is still 24degrees
Epic sun in Edinburgh. Working out how I can get out for a ride at 3pm !
Stopped about 5 minutes after posting last night.
🙂
However, frozen solid.
Two cars lost it on the half mile hill down to Towneley Park this morning and ended up on the golf course.
Cycling abandoned for the day, off to buy a Christmas tree, back in work tomorrow so it had better warm up a bit before then.....
Good few inches in the top corner of Wales.Can't see Llandegla being open over the weekend.
Several cms here in the Beacons. Heavy showers, followed by some melting mean it stays pretty constant, about 3 cm on the cars at the house.
Anyone got any reports on Shropshire?
Apparently hoofing it down in Oswestry, and the A5 towards Wrexham is currently a nightmare. Just north of Wrexham though all ok.
My folks were planning to come down tomorrow, but Sunday is forecast is bad and cold... not sure that's wise.
Just been surfing over Bracklesham, no snow, bit chilly but 3ft x off and the Sun is Oooooooot.
Glorious.
Constant flurries near Brechfa. Nothing much settling.
It's a marshmallow world in Aviemore, just heading to Nairn over the dava moor, woo hoo!
Mrs says she wants us to have a quiet night in tonight, I can't decide between the bike or xc skis. There may be trouble ahead.
Come on, snow you bastard!
Loads in N Wales away from the coast. Mountain passes getting close to impassable in a normal car until they plough.
Bit of snow on the Black Isle.
Passed a car in the ditch (again) on my way into work. Definitely a day to take it easy!
30-40mm to scrape off the car before returning home tonight...
Well, a day that promised much ended up as a bit of a disappointment.
Actually, that's a lie. It was ****ing awesome!!

Looks great, if you're genetically adapted to that sort of thing.
Fine layer of hair, extra layer of fat etc.
🙂
Are we ready for snowmaggedon?
Apparantly it might be a bit frosty daaaan saaarf this morning, even though they pay all those taxes.
Await predictions of doom etc....
Bloody freezing down here, cars are covered in frost.. 🙄
All that Tax we pay keeping the rest of the country alive, you’d think we’d get the council to de-frost our cars for wouldn’t you..
Joe Cocker used to come round and clear our drive, might have mentioned it before.
Not seen him in ages.
Hope he's ok.
Yesterday was a miserly 1.5cm (yes I'm sad and measure it). Now it's properly puking down, the kind of snow that you dream about in ski resorts.
6” here on the Varteg (fnar fnar) and settled. No more overnight but petunmore forecast through the early hours tomorrow.
More over in Ebbw and the Heads of the Valley was a total white out last night at 7pm.
Winter tyres on the M135 were f’ing awesome though.
Loads of fun and the only slides were intended
Proper snow Scotroutes.
Only a dusting between Cardiff and Ludlow. Still 0C here though.

Pass of Ryvoan was a bit drifty today
Coming down nicely in Milton Keynes
It's raining hard here in East Sussex, even the puddles have bloody puddles.
About 1 cm so far in Newbury!
CrossClimate+ tyres fitted Friday... fire up the Quattro!
Nothing in Worksop, North Notts (yet)
In desperate need of more inches here in West Yorkshire. So much more was promised. All parties involved are very disappointed.
Llandrindod Wells (mid-Wales) had about 3 inches yesterday and another 4" so far this morning. And it's still a blizzard.
Looks like a turbo session this morning. Hills are all steep here so would just be pushing the mtb.
Kimbers
Grab a sledge and get yourself and the kids to Campbell park asap before the crowds turn up.
Coming down here in Brentwood, Essex and due to continue through the day 😀
Must be because we fitted the winter wheels to the car yesterday in preparation to driving the the Alps ..... not feeling smug at all
It was ace in the Peaks yesterday 🙂
Warmer in beautiful downtown Burnley this morning.
Didn't even have to de-ice the car.
🙂
Nothing in Worksop, North Notts (yet)
We're not far away (Hucknall) and only got a dusting overnight but it started snowing about 10 mins ago
Brechfa is snowy and still snowing. Fat bike time.
Snowing hard in Herefordshire

That was 30 mins ago and it's noticeably deeper now. Dogs love it, kids love it, I'm happy to go for a long walk in the snow. Only slight issue is my car is in Ross 5 miles away and I've no idea how I'm going to retrieve it 🙂
@WF - great pic that.
O ford has come to a halt with snow. I came in at 6am to get ready to shoot the Santa Run for a local hospice. Event has been cancelled due to the conditions. O ford City buses have not managed to get a single bus out. Not one.
Chaos. And opposite side of the road to me there is a girl in the shortest miniskirt I've seen since the 70s and stilettos and fishnets.
Must be from Newcastle with her little leather jacket on protecting her from the cold.
Rain and chilly in the Mystic East this morning. I expect that there will be no snow here. 🙁
SFA bar a bit of ‘thick rain’ here in North Cardiff, but I’m told the A470 is closed at Story Arms, although if I was my decision I might close it just to avoid the usual car-nage as people unfamiliar with well, driving, drive too quickly between the [s]parked[/s] abandoned cars on the road side.
I here London has had a light dusting though, my god help us all. 😉
Omg its snowing in London, how will they all cope?
We're now up to 4cm but that was from yesterday.
Just a few teeny flakes floating by atm.
Approx 4” so far in Stourbridge on top of what we had on Friday, and it’s still coming down
Sadly it’s my Nieces Christening today, Church in Wolves, do after in Trysull, family here from around the country, food and drink all paid for and prepped...... We’ve had to cancel.
So I feel a bit guilty if I go “wahey bike ride time then”
It's finally "on" in Belper. South West of the county has had a fair but apparently now heading ne. Absolute nightmare for work but I'll enjoy the snow today and worry about that tomorrow...
Not enough to be worth getting out of bed here for (near rivington)
Who wanted Shropshire conditions? Another 4" has fallen overnight on top of Friday's 3" near Telford, and its still hooing it down. Looks to be in for the day at the moment.
I'm already in Ludlow, 4" or so here of dense slippery stuff.
Trying to decide if I want to try to get up to my sister's in Clee Hill 🙂
Still **** all here.
That's a lot of effort for one sheep bear!
Down to -10C in spots here overnight. A second day biking in deep, soft snow has left me with tired legs so today may be a rest day.
Or I'll get the skins out. 🙂
Still snowing 🙂

It snowed. Then it didn't snow. More snow was predicted, thicker, heavier more weather warning worthy snow.....which didn't come. But looking down the valley it now seems like unforeseen snow is inbound.
Love the snow, but for the first time I'm not back in Shropshire with my parents but up in York, missing it all. Had photos from them this morning with about 6" of snow in them and still snowing heavily. A bit gutted to be missing it all! Read something saying it's the heaviest snow fall in Powys/Shrops/Herefordshire since 1991 - thus in my life time.
Great photo Welshfarmer.
Very Joseph Farquharson.....
Just starting to fall in Doncaster, you might get some in York after all, jakd95.
Shrewsbury & Shropshire has been hit with quite a lot of snow.
Supposed to be going to a gig up in Manchester tonight 🙁
Nice dog Jamie, some stw points there.
Manchester has had a smattering, that's all, roads clear.
Is patriotpro still sick of these updates?
M4 pretty snowy. They've suspended roadworks at reading and reopened it as the surrounding roads are too snowy to be used as a diversion.
Have been skiing (XC jeyboy style) this morning in SW Worcestershire - expecting to do more this afternoon (I'm hoping it might be slightly better given a few hours to consolidate, it's hard work at the moment!)
Anyone know if it's snowing in Sheffield yet?
