Bah humbug

snowing now!

Snow on and off all day today. Still going now. Reckon it could be deep here tomorrow if it keeps up.

NE Scotland

High of -3 here today. Winter definitely on the way.

Indith true, most people are set up for it but you do still get plenty of dickheads who forget how to drive when there's more than half an inch of snow on the road.

I'm still bemused by neighbours barbequeing and wearing shorts and flip flops when it's below zero.

Drive thru cash machines are handy though!

bah humbug!
Just shown the children and they've both asked to go out and play! NO, BEDTIME!

well Ive let them go out in their pyjamas and run around catching flakes in the dark. That'll do for one winter I think.

:)

ds1 said it would snow and he was right! He and dd were talking about what snowmen they would make this afternoon.

Sparkling - I kept meaning to take a photo of the beautiful tree across the road, when I went out yesterday I put a reminder on my phone for when I got home, except when I got home there were only a few forlorn leaves left!! In the morning it had been in all it's beautiful autumn splendor!! I was ... one of these days I'll learn not to procrastinate... but not today

OYBBK - sorry I didn't make it for coffee this week! Maybe next week if you are not too busy with half term stuff??

Oh - and it must be cold, I bought a coat today! I never normally wear one really!

It's so odd Chipping, my Mum is coming round with the leaf blowy sucky thing tomorrow.

we have an inch of snow this morning
Who's responsible for this

though DS is really excited :) I think that might be because he thinks snow=Christmas

aargh, it is too early to play outside kids!!

Sorry

Mine have been out too, and we've had the christmas conversation.

but I have mini marshmallows for my hot chocolate so its all ok.

Expect more snow around 2pm. That is when dh will sitting in a boat waiting for his start time getting very cold indeed. Snow is traditional.

Can you translate that met office nonsense for me OYBBK?!

Those charts show that it is a little more likely to be wetter than average rather than drier than average though its pretty much in the balance. It looks to be also somewhat more likely to be colder than average over the next 3 months.

We had a snow shower a bit before 8am this morning. :)

Twitter is full of UK winter forecasts predicting a bitterly cold few months, starting with a cold snap in a week's time. Hype?

So, help me out with this (thicky day, the DC's have trashed my brain power)....

wetter and colder than average would equal lots of snow woudn't it?

Maybe tak1ng, today's weather will have certainly fuelled things! I think things look to remain cool-cold, but mid month the temps seem to rise a bit (may well change)

Thanks OYBBK! I had forgotten how damn cold, cold is! I have been lulled into a false sense of security by the mild weather!
Will be watching the forecasts with interest. I do like a bit of proper snow [hsmile]

Me to. I do not like being cold! But I do like snow. Oh the dilemma!

God hope not, I like snow falling when I have no where to go but hate it when it gets compacted and you spend most of the time sliding down hills on your arse
