[Closed] Snow Updates.

Just back from the bike show. The main roads in London are all clear - just a bit wet and murky. The usual tomfoolery is going on - people driving at 20mph in the outside lane of the north circ etc.

A steady snowfall is going on, about 2-3 inches settling in the garden.

Hardly an apocolypse.

It's now stopped snowing in Bath, to my shame I'm one of the few who couldn't get to work today. in fairness, I drive the furthes and it's over / around the Mendips so not an easy route, however I couldn't get my car out the road.
*hangs head*

There's a whole 2cm outside my door!
Think i'll go to the shops and buy everything.

While i'm there i think i'll fill up my car.

Hang on it's snowing, that makes me completely unable to function.

Panic!!!!

(Im in SE London by the way)

sunny here in Orkney. Blowing a hoolie and baltic though.

Nowt really in central Manchester thus far. A dusting overnight and light snowfall this morning but that's been it. Our wee lad will be disappointed, he's been hyper about the snow all week. Have to look for sledging a bit further afield tomorrow.

Warming up with soup and sandwiches in Shiney Town.

About to go into Waitrose for glutton free/wheat free/yeast free bread...

"wonders if they'll have any left"

"Starts to consider leaving the Uk"

Quite a lot in Alnwick today 4 - 5 inches and still snowing a bit Harry Potters Castle is really quite scenic

Garry Lager - there will be snow around the Macc/Buxton area. I too was hoping to take our nephew out sledging, maybe we can if it keeps going all night

It's snowed all day here and only put down a miserly 1cm, this on top of Tuesday's 1cm = 2cm.
We were forecast 15cm

there was some earlier but it's gone now, and here's a satellite photo to prove it

Alnwick Golf Course

They're not bothered it's a tradition.

All of 5mm in Cambridge and it's given up for the night as well 🙁

Very disappointed.

Still plenty coming down in Hucknall, settling on the main roads.

Only passed one Mercedes on the way home stuck trying to get up Shoulder of Mutton Hill.

Loads of bread in left Tamworth Morison's.

Used our old petrol 306 today as compared to my big diesel the brakes are non-existent and the engine is so knackered it couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding and it's fitted with a fantastic set of winter tyres. Just what you need in this weather and you can still have a bit of fun on fresh snow at safe speeds 😀

Had to dodge a guy driving the wrong way down a dual carriageway today in Bristol. I'm not even sure what happened to him as he didn't have any hazard lights on and the road was pretty clear so I don't see how he has done a 180. Was then amazed that another guy decided to tailgate me down a hill in traffic from the Airport - driving so close I couldn't see his numberplate in my rear view mirror.

Just in from a completely gratuitous drive around in the snow. Bloomin brilliant. Snowproxes are a bit counterproductive for handbrake turns though Some truly gigantic snowmen being assembled.

New snow in Surrey today, I'm guessing a couple of inches by the time it's done.

I'm getting my skis out of the loft. I have a long held ambition to skin up Box Hill and ski back down.

None here today yet (East Lancs). It's bloody freezing though.

Light snow west of mattjg on Surrey for past two hours, now getting heavier. Family and dog walking duties earlier but hopefully time for a little spin later. From the earlier dog walk, I expect riding conditions to be trickier than yesterday.

Still snowing quite merrily in the North Cotswolds, around Chipping Campden.

Snowing quite heavily again here in ludlow.

Snow first thing this morning in East London
And the same for Brentwood

We're actually at the point where I can give a snow report now:

Surrey Hills 20 Jan 2013, altitude 116 metres
Base 3cm
Fresh 3cm
Avalanche risk 0/5
Dog pooh risk 4/5

We all need one of these

Tick.

So as I skied over the brow to start the big drop down to Rykas, THERE WAS AN EFFING SNOWBOARDER ON HIS ARSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRAIL!

Some thing never change!

FFS don't tell the wife!!1

Snowing in Surrey now. Due to turn to rain tomorrow, that'll be nice then.

Snowing here in Marple.
Forecast suggest 2 - 15 cms, gulp! we've got a friend driving up from South Wales tonight, hope he'll be o.k

Been snowing here all morning, just light showers and most of last weeks and Tuesdays has melted right down. I was on t' moors last night and the drifts that had be ploughed through were probably the height of a car. Trying to get sorted with my bike at moment so may have photos later.

Drifts are getting blown the other way and visibility was shocking I could hardly see the cars so didn't push on to the bigger ones.
