Hello
I just wondered if anyone has heard about it being really cold next week with snow showers?
Ooh I do hope so (fingers crossed for a snow day).

Hah! I missed the Scottish snow. Yay!

V v v cold and icy in West Yorkshire (edge of Pennines today). Still freezing, I think.

Apparentlychilled · 30/11/2012 11:39

Belle- I'm with you. I also live on an ungritted hill in Yorkshire and am praying there's no snow.

Apparentlychilled · 30/11/2012 11:43

Below freezing here, Belle- about minus 3 so far (W Yorkshire/N Yorks). Is it too early to say roll on spring?!

GloriaSmud · 30/11/2012 12:53

We have a Level 3 cold weather alert for some areas, issued by the metoffice.

I have the rainwatch app on my phone and at 3pm it goes a funny blue colour. Could this be snow? Its frezing out.

BelleDameSousMistletoe · 30/11/2012 14:31

Apparently - has it warmed up for you yet? It's a little warmer here now.

Still brrrrrrrrr though!

AnAirOfHopeForSnow · 30/11/2012 14:56

Still so cold here :(

OhYoubadbadKitten · 30/11/2012 15:04

Depends where you are air :) is it snowing??

AnAirOfHopeForSnow · 30/11/2012 16:02

Not snowing yet but its frosty/ground frost. The grass has pretty white stuff on it.

Im in South Yorkshire.

mankyscotslass · 30/11/2012 16:13

Freezing here all day, and now its getting foggy. I'm worried about DH driving home on the M61) from Chorley.

GloriaSmud · 30/11/2012 21:09

Fog started forming here about 2.30pm and the temp dropped to 0C ~ fair to say school run was a bit nippy! We're now down to -3.3!

OhYoubadbadKitten · 30/11/2012 21:38

Freezing fog is a nasty thing :(

BirdyBedtime · 30/11/2012 21:54

It's snowing in East Lothian. DC's will be so annoyed they missed it if it's gone by morning.

Labradorlover · 30/11/2012 22:31

Though there must be snow around on higher ground or further inland than me ( Edinburgh ).....warmed up to 2.4C and then proper rain for 2 hours this evening.

Mirage · 01/12/2012 00:23

I've just walked home from the pub and the roof of the house is solid white with frost.Our silly old pony is out in it as she won't come in.Sad She has a very thick rug on and a very hairy thick winter coat,but I still fret about her.

LadyFlumpalot · 01/12/2012 07:41

Tis freezing and foggy down in the South West. Hoarfrost on all the branches.

Wallace · 01/12/2012 07:56

snow here in the Highlands.

OhYouMerryLittleKitten · 01/12/2012 11:45

How much Wallace?

Beautiful day here after a freezing fog start.

mankyscotslass · 01/12/2012 11:48

We had rain about 6am and now its a beautiful sunny day, nowhere near as cold as yesterday was.

GlaikitFizzog · 01/12/2012 11:53

My DMum reports a skiffing of snow in Aberdeen. Nothing more here in west Lothian! But clear skies and very cold!

OhYouMerryLittleKitten · 01/12/2012 11:59

snow warnings!!!!! for tomorrow And Monday.

Oops, sorry, mn went offline for a mo.

OhYouMerryLittleKitten · 01/12/2012 12:03

Looks like its a marginal situation with a weather front moving eastwards bringing rain for most but snow for some, most likely in the north of Scotland, but perhaps northern England too.

You can see the surface pressure charts to give you an idea of timing.

OYBBK,, there's an article in the Telegraph today saying that the Met Office are expecting a 'sudden stratospheric warming' (SWW) to start within the next week, which will apparently cause a blocked weather system over the UK and bring low temperatures for the rest of the year. You probably know all this anyway, but apparently it's a similiar set-up to the winter of 2010, but the METO have new technology which wasn't available then, which is why that winter was such a shock to everyone.

I know not everyone likes very cold weather, but I'm Grin at the prospect of proper chilly conditions over Christmas, even if it doesn't bring snow. Mild, damp weather at Christmas just doesn't feel right somehow!
