Snow Watch Part 4. The Winter continues....

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

met office warnings For tomorrow for Scotland and NW England, extending to Yorkshire. NW Scotlant in particular looks awful with blizzard conditions.

I'm not quite sure about the warnings for England, I'm going to be really interested to see how they pan out. Tuesday scattered sleet and snow showers for many.

Just survived the afternoon walk with little dog. Those old padded ski trousers that I found in a charity shop and dyed from light green to light brown, are lightweight and windproof, . Haven't worn them for some years now, but perfect for the current weather.
The wind gusts increased with such force that it blew me off balance, being no heavier than a twig myself and quite frail. Then I got scared a thick branch of the many trees could snap and fall on my head and konk me out or hurt little dog, so rushed home.
The wind is the worst problem in many ways and quite scary.

We have lots of trees down over here. Causing huge problems for the traffic flow which was already struggling.

We didn't get much wind from the east in Germany in the summer, and then it was always very hot. In the winter I remember only once a whip lash wind from Siberia, which I could not tolerate and had to go home, after my scarf had frozen solid from moisture in my breath within a couple of minutes< had it over my nose and mouth and cheeks>

anyone know when this wind will abate? The chill factor is one thing but the force of it is dangerous.

S coast

it was bright enough earlier to dry the remaining snow off the car, but now it is colder and the light flurries are coating it again

It doesn't feel very cold, though. Gusty wind from N.

Snowing quite hard in east kent.

Blizzarding up here on the Downs near Brighton and snow's drifting over the roads.

Just noticed the skies are clearing now, which means a very cold night if stays clear. And wind gusts still galeforce.
Oh, -1 already, but clouding over again. Can't it make up its mind?

Why are we having hurricane force gusts of wind up to 135 mph, when Germany - nearest the north sea area- has only 22 kilometers per hour?

Settled snow here on the seafront in West Sussex. It's already below freezing and still coming down.

The roads won't be good in the morning unless there is a thaw (ha ha).

Is this the time of year when the sea is at it's coldest? As it never normally settles here.

Blizzard in Horsham...

Had blizzards on and off all day but the snow didn't start settling till about 2pm.

Our warning in west sussex has been upgraded to amber!

6.5 cm here in West Sussex.
temp of Minus2

more forecast overnight and into tomorrow.

Brighton lots of snow now

Amber :o So more to come then?

Pah - can't it move up a little it please? Would like some in surrey.

Nothing here in Kent - any idea if we're due some? Xx

pinklady, you are covered in snow according to the radar! I wonder what is happening to it?! I'm not surprised that sussex are under an amber!!!

It has skirted my area all day. Plenty of flurries and that sharp wind but its all been a tease. Has sent my cat bonkers!

hurricane force winds digert?

No change here. Still -1, still very windy, no snow.

winds should ease somewhat tomorrow and be much better by wednesday (thank goodness!)

Ditto to that. Phew, so relieved to hear that, Kitten. Just the ice and snow to contend with then. Managed last time though at least in the snow, the ice was not so pleasant.

Just begun snowing! Is Kent expecting a lot then? Xx

Pinklady, I'd think a few cm are quite likely.

North hampshire.

The heating is staying on tonight that's for sure. No snow but the wind is howling.

West Sussex coast (seafront), I poked my head out of the back door and it is still snowing. I wasn't sure at first, due to the wind blowing snow off buildings.

It's very fine snow and going to the front I can see it under the street lights.

No gritters around. Looks like a bad morning.
