Wintry weather next week?

[petunia]

Metmonkey are forecasting this for next week. We'll see ~ probably a bit early to say for certain whether this will happen or whether it'll just be cold and frosty.

No idea what the temp is but we had at least 6 inches in Northumberland this morning when we woke up, no sign of it melting and a few heavy showers throughout the day.

Totally unprepared by the way, will send dh out for essentials when he gets in from work tonight.

wow cherrybea - good start to winter!

still nothing here, but it has clouded over quite dramatically compared to this morning (deep frost and clear blue sky at 8.30am) so i live in hope.

nothing here, it doesn't actually feel as cold as it did yesterday (colchester)

DD was most upset this morning and and I was awoken to wails of 'mummy that weatherman on the tv was LYING' arf

hahahaha

its SNOWING bitches

I've been dying to come and tell you about our 8 inches over night. But... First MN would not work on my phone and then we lost electricity between 10am and 4 o'clock .

But finally I can tell you 8inches overnight and at least another 2 over the course of the day.

Here is a picture of our back garden.

Just a few flakes here then nothing!

same here, clear skies now

Ohh Mummyberryjuice am glad to see that your DH got home ok yesterday though - your garden looks beautiful!

Just drove back from Bristol to Wiltshire and they were gritting the M4 (do they know something we dont? ) I hope some materialises this weekend.

rosie - I'm gald to hear they are gritting the m4!

Mummuberry - beautiful :)

we had about 12 snow grains today. Very impressive they were. lol!

warnings east and west for over night.

I'm still not seeing the snow.

Will it ever get here?

maybe tomorrow night?

Leicester's not getting any snow either. Looking at all the forecasts for the weekend it's either going to be 'snowmageddon' (according to metmonkey and netweather) or freezing cold with the possibility of the odd snow shower (the Metoffice/bbc.)
I'd love it to be a Metmonkey forecast but think it's more likely to be a Metoffice one for us.

plenty up here :o

Generally, if you are east coast (particularly north), Scotland, SW or Wales then you don't have to wait long for your snow (as many of you have it already!). If you are else where, be patient, enjoy any showers you get and watch out for short term developments and keep a close eye on next week.

Just driven home (now midnight-ish). Temperature not below freezing all the way from Rotherham to Huddersfield but absolutely Baltic/Scandinavian wind. I haven't felt wind as cold as that since I was in New York in wind chill of -20something. I'm sure it wasn't that cold but it was biting. Fingers crossed here for NO SNOW!

Today's picture update from North Yorkshire

I hate the bloody stuff but it is beautiful.

Just a pity we're stuck. Again.

MummyBerry ~ I'm , that does look lovely.

do you have enough supplies in mummyberry or do we need to start emailing you chocolate?

I'm feeling virtous, I remembered to clean and restock the bird feeders today, and put out fresh water. THe poor birds are starving and thirsty.

Everything is frozen solid, even though there is no snow!
