Re: Snow !

Snowing here now, about 5mm in the centre of Manchester. Very unusual!

Been out and its bad.

We have had 8" overnight (I measured the wall I cleaned off last night) and the path near my car has 16".
This is a pic of the MAIN road thats 200yd from my house.

There have been one or 2 brave souls that have tackled it.

Left the house at 5:15 this morning, to be confronted by 8 inches of snow on top of the car, and more than that on the main roads...

Managed to drive (slowly!) to work, to find that, not only am I the only Technical Manager in (out of 6), I appear one of two of the most senior managers in, which is a nuisance . Even more so, when only 4 of my 10 staff have rolled in...

A good lesson, but I'm using today as leverage for a day off when I haven't got to share it with all of the Grimsby reprobates trying to cob a snowball of my very bald head from 40 yards away

Re: Snow !

No snow predicted for today. so it's snowing outside. you can never rely on the weather people to predict the weather.


No sun, no clouds, just snow.

They're saying heavy rain Sunday. how much do you want to bet it will be great big hailstones?

Strange....

Wednesday
A bitterly cold start with widespread frost and icy roads in west. Frequent light snow showers will clear from all but the north early in the morning, leaving a mostly dry and bright day. Very cold in the strong northeasterlies.
Wednesday night
Bitterly cold with a widespread frost, icy roads in west. A mostly dry night with clear spells but with snow showers increasingly pushing into northern areas. Strong northeasterly winds.
