Sunday snow and ice check in!

[mankyscotslass]

So who has what now?

No Snow here, very cold though.

I just put water out for the birds at 08.30. How long before it freezes?

Metcheck showing snow here from 0900.

Just as well I don't believe it!

OYBBK, how did you cope last night?

aberdeenshire too - had power cut overnight as well - the house got to 11 degrees

Where in Kent MrsSaxon - I'm N.Kent/SE London - no snow here. My parents have just headed off to Maidstone though so do I have to get the snow chains ready to go and rescue them??!!

Bridlington - about three inches outside. Started on Thursday and hasn't really melted and has snowed a little each day. The roads were clear this morning when I walked to Tesco, but the pavements were sheet ice - and then it started snowing again when I got in and dumped another inch or so on top of it! Netweather gives snow everyday for the next week. I work in a school and we never seem to shut for snow so I'm not looking forward to getting into work this week.

Lincs - we had a little bit of snow on Fri night. Nothing since. So less than an inch in total.

Weather forcasts keep saying "heavy snow" for eastern England. I want some and it ain't here.

After my post earlier saying that my garden thermometer on the shed in the back garden said that it was -10, one of DH's friends on Facebook who has a weather station in his garden and lives a mile or 2 from us, has confirmed that the temperature in Leicester was -10.2 at 7.30am this morning and yesterday, the highest temperature it got to was +0.7 at 2pm!

Not surprised winterpetunia!

The birds water here keeps freezing as soon as I either break the ice or put fresh stuff out.

DH suggested using warm water, but I seem to remember something about warm water freezing faster than cold because of the size of the molecules!

I now need it to not snow at all the rest of the week, because I really can't cope with wet play in the lead up to Xmas....the kids will be manic!

Just spoke to neighbour, is so cold that his car window shattered this morning. He turned the engine on and had all the heaters on, etc, car on drive warming up and the side windown started bulging inwards and then exploded.

Sunny here in East Northamptonshire, very frosty and icey earlier, not just very cold.

I am in east kent Kbear , we have about 3 inches and heavy snow forecast for tomorrow morning.

Just meaured the amount of now on top of our wheelie bin - 13 flippin inches!
Hate the stuff!

North-West of Ireland, snow here all day but it's been bright and no more has fallen. It's geting dark now though so it's freezing again and the sky looks like it could be brewing some more... guess the kids will be off school tomorrow then

bugger all here

Mid Wales. It hasn't snowed here (apart from the occasional flurry) since Friday, but there is still a good couple of inches on the ground. It is seriously cold, it was -10 when I got up this morning and it didn't get above -4 all day. Not far from here it was recorded as -17 overnight.

It's trying to snow here in West Sussex, I have just seen a few baby flakes

Nope, it's stopped, as you were!

just found thread but sadly am off to bed. dd and her friends were absolute stars but I need some real sleep. Even the cats are snoring now!

as for weather? will be cold and may snow.
!

Glad you survived OYBBK....DD keeps asking for a group sleepover, but I doubt any of us would survive!

(prays for freak foot of snow storm so that we don't have to get up tomorrow, my fingers are typin but the rest f me is asleep on the sofa under the cats)

manky- it takes courage and fortitude but it makes you a legend.

g'night!

Huddersfield/Holmfirth here - snowed a bit today/this evening but just a dusting. Very, very cold though and the snow is freezing on the ground. Think ice will be the problem here.

York - very cold and a fair bit of snow after heavy falls this afternoon.

11 inches outside and it has stopped for the moment, the Thundersnow was the wierdest thing I have ever experienced, woke up at about 4am to the sound of thunder and then lightening that lit up the night sky. All school has been canx tomorrow, unfortunately my work has not seem to have the same attitude!! Will be walking after turfing the kids to their Grandad's.

it was -5 at 8:30 this morning and we had a 'high' of 2.8.

no snow though.

down to -6.4C this morning. brrrr. Don't really want to go out!!!
