to be hoping for THUNDERSNOW tomorrow

[roseshippy]

Motherfucking thundersnow.

Now that's some proper weather.

I am too! Will be so great

Our snow has been moved from appearing at 4pm to 7pm. Atm its raining.

British snow looks an awful lot like rain.
Here's my snowman

I'd never heard of THUNDERSNOW! so Googled it and watched loads a couple of videos and it looks and sounds awesome. Currently sleeting here but heavy snow is about 10 miles south.

Zebra

Course - that could easily be Olaf after he melted . . .

. . . are you sure you made him?

I love storms - I'm really looking forward to THUNDERSNOW!!!!!!!

YES!!!!!

I may have made the effort to pinch him off social media

Half hearted sleety shite in Berks. Boring 😩

What a rubbish storm. Our snow has been delayed until nearer to midnight. I did get pelted with hail stones just as I was getting to my car to come home at 4. Then a mile down the road I was driving under blue skies.
Very disappointment I must say. Maybe when I wake it'll be nice and white outside and I can cancel the plans for the day and make a snowman. I can't remember where my snow boots are, I'll need to dig about in the wardrobes and garage.

It was shit here, it sleeted for about 90 minutes and turned into water on reaching the ground. And done.

I'm gutted. Ours came and went in about an hour.

Was really hoping School was going to be closed tomorrow- as were the DC!

Here's some thundersnow from today for you:

It's snowing in Cheshire East! Looks like it's sticking too..

-46 with the windchill today and no, school never gets cancelled.

About half an hour ago we had a few little flurries, then about ten minutes ago it started to really come down. I've not seen snow like this in years!

No snow in Fulham. Thunder thunder thunder thundersnow is now my earworm.

Had some snow here overnight- dogs were very excited about it this morning. I went out at the comparatively late time of 7.30 as I was knackered after a lot of late nights and early mornings. By the time I got home (out for an hour), I couldn't feel my toes. Unfortunately I could feel my fingers, and they were in agony.

It is truly as they say - be careful what you wish for

No ThunderStorm, though.

I've always wanted to know what an ice storm was, ever since seeing the movie "The Ice Storm." (Which is a good movie, and not a weather-related disaster movie, as you might assume.) I wondered if an ice storm was just a hailstorm experienced by people with a word missing from their English vocabulary. Wikipedia now tells me it's not, it's a whole different thing, and from the sound of it, a lot worse. Below freezing rain manages to stay liquid until it hits the ground and freezes there, creating a layer of ice. (It also creates a layer of ice on trees and power lines that can bring them down.) So pretty scary, and does happen a lot in America. So apologies to all Americans for thinking they were merely unacquainted with the word hail.

Oddly, our latest thundersnowstorm had a similar effect to an ice storm, even though it wasn't officially an ice storm. The snow was very wet and heavy, then it froze, and it was days before they managed to clear all the branches and trees that came down.

Vast numbers of trees literally bent to the ground and their leaves and branches got stuck in the snow, and they eventually broke.

Ice storms are actually incredibly beautiful. But a bit nasty too.

How did you get on, @MissVictoria it sounds like a bleak life for you in winter.
