Sat went to visit my sister who lives near the North York Moors..but this side.. not as far as the coast.. it was bad in Whitby/ Scarborough/ Robin hood bay.. etc.. Farmers were helping stranded drivers.. even towing a double decker bus.. roads were closed. Guess im hard living here up north lol

North Gloucestershire... no snow but extremely cold, it was -7c when I walked the dogs this morning just after 7am. Didn't get much above freezing all day. Really bitterly cold tonight already.

ShiftySquirrel · 05/01/2026 18:22

We had 2-3 inches of snow last night in Suffolk. It's been just above freezing all day and sunny so it thawed a little. The main roads were clear though but I'd imagine the side roads are treacherous now the sun has gone down.

No snow in Dublin but the cold is shocking! The real feel temps were -7 or something! We’re not used to this at all!

ilovepixie · 05/01/2026 18:29

We have about 6 inches is snow! It’s about -2. I was out in a t shirt and joggers earlier! Nice bracing weather!

North East.
Snow on top of frozen snow🤨
Might put a jumper on🤣

Littletreefrog · 05/01/2026 18:31

North East coast here. Lots of snow, hasn't got above 0 degrees all day and is now about -2. DS has just gone out for a run in short shorts and a t shirt.

Hiddenhouse · 05/01/2026 18:32

Horsham here and -3, going down to -6 overnight. Woke up to a light dusting of snow which has remained all day. I felt sorry for my boy headed back to school who just wanted to make snow angels

quirkychick · 05/01/2026 18:33

Norfolk and we had a few inches on Saturday morning, it was too cold to melt and was icy. There was some more last night and again today. It's set to be -5°C tonight so will freeze again.

MoreIcedLattePlease · 05/01/2026 18:37

Only a dusting this morning: long gone by the time I got home from work. I was warm at home this morning, and in the car. Then freeeezing in my classroom! Better once the children were in (more bodies), then freezing again at lunch time. It was better in the classroom I taught in this afternoon.

Have since been to the gym and now home: toasty in both. I'm sat in front of the fire, next to a radiator, with my heated throw over me. In my element!

Wintersgirl · 05/01/2026 18:42

West Sussex here, bloody freezing and a dusting of snow this morning, it's not melted at all where the sun not's got to it

imusthavebrokenamirror · 05/01/2026 18:55

North Pennines here. A bit of snow yesterday afternoon and more overnight. Road was terrible this morning even though it had been gritted…not enough traffic over it as I left the village.
-9 when I left home at 6.45 and -4 when I got back home at 17.00

TheeNotoriousPIG · 05/01/2026 20:10

Rural North Wales here... it was -5 when I went to work this morning. It has since warmed up to -3, but apparently feels like -7 due to the wind (and colder, when I can't feel my fingers in waterproof and fleece-lined gloves!). I'm not sure how deep the snow is, as you're walking on packed snow, but the dusty stuff is up over the foot part of my wellies. The main roads have been gritted, but forget anywhere else, the schools are closed, and I have no excuse for a snow day as I inconveniently live within walking distance!

Someone has scraped the snow from the car park at work. It's going to be like an ice rink in the morning... Is anyone up for an agricultural version of Torvill and Dean?

Tobycarverysquad · 05/01/2026 20:15

Rural Shropshire - about an inch of snow and -8 when I left the house this morning. -6 on my way home from work.

Clefable · 05/01/2026 20:19

North-east Scotland. Shitloads. Massive drifts, cars abandoned, schools all shut today and tomorrow!

Me too. It’s currently about -3c with me.

Alwaystired23 · 05/01/2026 20:23

Snow here in south West Wales, but not as much as my sister in Aberdeen. They've had a lot!!

ThePerfectWeekend · 05/01/2026 20:32

Scarborough, up out of the North side, about four inches outside and it's been snowing most of the day. Cars can't get near my house at the top of the steepest hill in the area.

IndigoIsMyFavouriteColour · 05/01/2026 20:35

South west here. Dusting of snow on the ground and minus 2 tonight

AcquadiP · 05/01/2026 20:40

West Yorkshire. It snowed here yesterday but happily not enough to cause traffic chaos. It's minus 2 currently, due to go down to minus 3 overnight again for tue second night in a row.

Ihateboris · 05/01/2026 20:47

Chester..a couple of inches of snow and freezing 🥶

Bestchocolate · 05/01/2026 20:48

@StrictlyAFemaleFemale sounds dangerous cent you get an electric blanket ?

Lunde · 05/01/2026 20:53

Sweden
Snow - between 2-3 feet (60-90cm)
Temp - at 6pm it was -20C but it has risen to -17C because it is snowing again and according to the forecast we can expect 8-12 inches /20-30cm in the next 24 hours.

Off to start charging things as we lost power for long periods in Storm Johannes (27th Dec) and Storm Anna (1st Jan) - indeed some people not far from us still don't have power from Johannes on December 27th.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 05/01/2026 20:56

NE Scotland and SO MUCH snow. Weather app says feels like minus nine.

Have you got snow..where are you.. how cold is it?

West Oxfordshire - no snow but it was -5 when I walked the dog this morning (wind chill more like -8) and my car boot was frozen shut and the washers didn't thaw til mid afternoon. Very icy and the tiny dusting we had two days ago has frozen solid.
Hoping for a little snow at some point (because my dog loves it😁)

Plump82 · 06/01/2026 08:19

Woke up to a balmy 4° and pouring with rain!!
