Whereabouts do you normally go to get your lunch?

No snow round my area (ooeer missus). There has apparently been snow around London, I just haven't seen any.


Blinking cold though.

No snow here either :( We've had high winds and torrential rain though. I like snow. I mean how else can you make snow angels ?

You didn't miss anything Sian, today's snow was far too wet for making snow angels ... you'd have soaked your coat!

Here are some Met Office webcams that are updated quite frequently:

For the skiers amongst us, Aviemore is in Cairngorm, and Aboyne is near Glenshee.

And if you think it's bad here, try Chamonix:

Snow? We just had hail here for about 15 minutes! :erm:

Re: Snow !
 
Yeah we had a hail shower with thunder and lightening.
It was pretty impressive.

Thawing here and little ice patches with plenty of snow on ground, should be all slushy later on.

There was some snow in Driffield (East Riding of Yorkshire) today from what I heard on the radio. When I was out delivering my papers this morning there was a few flakes but that was it. It has certinally got colder and we might get some tomorrow I hope.

Odd picture that one.

Are all you Glasgow people as courteous to pedestrians as that and park right up to the edge and force the pedestrians out into the road :D

Also I notice the car tracks down the centre that didnt pull out onto the main road and disappear towards the back of the street and then fade :Yikes:

Spooky.

:D

Yeah - I noticed it was cold and when I left for work there was snow on the cars. I was about 10 mins from work when the wind picked up and flakes starting falling. Nearly broke my neck on the icy pavements :(

First chance I've had to post, the snow hit us about 3 yesterday morning as we were coming down the M1 lasted for about 2 1/2 hours getting heavy at times, still never mind, its gone now.
