Are you in Cumbria? We were forecast some snow on high ground but it hasn't appeared in my area yet. It's pretty nippy outside!

I'm near Stockport! Quite high up here.

It's not sticking but it's still blantantly snow, not sleet or rain!

That’s just about what I just said to my husband OP.
We’re in the Midlands, just a bit north of Birmingham, and it’s been coming down here for half an hour now. It was lovely and sunny before that too.

We have snot snow here, the wet sludgy kind that just ruins your mood and doesn’t look pretty s serves no purpose

Eminybob · 27/10/2018 10:38

Are you high peak way op?
I work in Buxton, and it’s like a different climate up there compared to 20 mins down the road! I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it’s snowing up there today.

@Eminybob may or may not live there

It's not settling which I guess is good, but can we have Halloween first?

Because weather.

A dusting in Durham, this morning, though the radar showed some more serious stuff up in Consett.

We had hail yesterday by no snow yet. Lincs.

BoldComicSans · 27/10/2018 10:47

I'm not far from Stockport and not a sign of anything here it's just really cold!

LuckyDiamond · 27/10/2018 10:49

Er, it’s that time of year?

ILikeyourHairyHands · 27/10/2018 10:50

High Peak here! Plenty of swirly snow here earlier.

Jojobythesea · 27/10/2018 10:50

Pictures?!? I live in South Devon and rarely get any (apart from March) and I LOVE it. ❄️

Gilead · 27/10/2018 10:51

Eastern edge of Peninnes, got an inch or so but not set to stay.

Stealth garden boast :)

OliviaStabler · 27/10/2018 11:15

I'd love it to be snowing here ...

flapjackfairy · 27/10/2018 11:17

Oh I love snow. It is flurrying here a bit as well
We are in Staffordshire. And the wind is cold enough to cut you in two as well.

gladheart · 27/10/2018 11:20

@Tinlegs I gasped when I saw your picture! You are so fortunate - what a beautiful view.

CakeNinja · 27/10/2018 11:24

I’m jealous, we rarely get snow Sad
We did get some in March time. The only reason I remember it was because I had 2 slipped discs and couldn’t go out and play Angry
Bloody South East and its crap weather!!!

LaurieFairyCake · 27/10/2018 11:26

Where are you Tinlegs?

Lake District?

DrWhy · 27/10/2018 11:28

We had snow this morning up in Scotland.
More extreme weather, hotter summers, colder winters, flash flooding. It’s not like this hasn’t been predicted since I started uni 20 years ago.,..!
