Snowing here in West Yorkshire, big fluffy flakes, due to snow all night.

@BashfulClam there isn't really any such thing as "too cold for snow":

To get snow you need clouds, clouds insulate. No clouds = colder weather with no snow.

Did you read the link?

In the UK, -4 degrees is not "too cold to snow". The terrible snow we had a few years ago which meant we couldn't leave the village, happened at -7 degrees and a feels like of -13.

"Too cold to snow" as a generic comment, makes little sense in this country.

@BashfulClam I understand what you mean as sometimes I tell my family it's going to snow as the air temperature suddenly seems a bit warmer than usual and you can almost "smell" it in the air. My family think it's weird but I'm generally right.

It's Surrey and it's cold and wet - my feet are freezing so the electric blanket's on!

ChishiyaBat · 20/11/2024 09:02

It's snowing here again❄️. It snowed until about 3pm yesterday, but didn't really stick, we got about 5cm in undisturbed places and they shut all the schools before lunch, if they'd waited it would have been fine though.

First frost of the year on the south coast, currently -1.

Same here on the south west coast, frosty and currently -3. No snow forecast but some 'icy showers' this week.

DisabledDemon · 20/11/2024 12:14

Pouring rain in Surrey yesterday but today opened with bright sunshine and frost on the grass.

@MrsPerfectlyFine

Whereabouts in NS are you? I’m just over border in S Cheshire, but due to go to Chatsworth in a Motorhome tomorrow, thinking Stoke/Leek maybe the better route than Buxton!

Good luck with your mammogram today xx

Thank you for your ‘mammogram good wishes’…‘‘twas chilly getting them out for sure 😂🥶

hope you got to chatsworth ok…yes, near Stoke and ugh snowy the roads have been pretty good. Hope you made it ok and had a super time 😊

LittleMissFuckUp · 21/11/2024 17:02

It's snowing again in our little pocket of West Yorkshire 😍🥰

Snowing up the valley, higher up. But the North westerly wind is is strong and so cold biting. We had a hail storm earlier.

YorkieTheRabbit · 21/11/2024 18:05

Snowing like crazy here again. It hadn’t all gone from earlier this week as it’s been so cold.

Same here! Big bloody flakes too! I’ve not been able to go out all week I’m done with it now and I’ve got a newborn. No neighbours and no one to share it with it’s pretty boring.

Forecast changed abruptly and we had snow this morning. Utter chaos on the roads, some poor people stuck for hours and some roads still impassable. Very pretty from indoors, glad I didn’t need to go out.

It’s snowing ❄️
BoobyDazzler · 21/11/2024 18:44

It says it’s on its way here too, thankfully I haven’t got to go anywhere this evening but my crazy husband has just gone out for a run!

DisabledDemon · 21/11/2024 19:59

Had to go out this evening to teach. I got in the car, turned the heater to demist but to no effect and then realised that the window was iced over.

So, I got out the deicer, squirted the window and voilà, instant clarity - until I made the mistake of using the screenwash, which promptly froze on the window!

Note to self: buy winter-grade screenwash tomorrow.

It's snowing again here❄️❄️❄️

Where's here? If here is actually over there then that's fine but if here is actually near here then it's not 😠

It's over by there, up the mountain and down the valley, about 2,000feet above sea level.

INeedAnotherName · 21/11/2024 20:28

Oh, that's definitely sounds more over there than here. Thank you 😂

Oh my, we actually had proper snow this morning, fat settling flakes. Caught everyone by surprise.

Same here in Sussex! I'm inland rather than the coast

StandingSideBySide · 22/11/2024 00:50

Snowed in Exeter yesterday according to my DS

Lucky him…I’d love to have some snow

just noticed you already mentioned it @IDareSay

Furrydogmum · 23/11/2024 07:00

Woke up to Narnia! DH now in the bad books, as I asked him to put my outdoor Xmas lights up yesterday and he said he'd do it tomorrow. 😬

WingBingo · 23/11/2024 07:07

Snowing in Leeds again! It’s due to rain later though so we’ll see
