Surprise snowfall expected.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

No idea why the met office haven't got warnings out....

There's a dodgy little low pressure that's spun up - not unusual in these circs that could bring wide spread snowfall later today. Those in the south should be especially aware, though it could affect those in the north and east too. If you are heading out I'd take shovels and blankets just in case.

It had better smell of spring flowers or I'll be around later

I noticed Lydden Hill have Drift days coming up soon. That made me

We had blizzard conditions for a while and a good ground covering but then as if by magic (channels inner 'Mr Benn') it all disappeared at midday!

No snow here (Isle Of Wight) [busmile]

OK - I'm thoroughly confused. It's not like our OYBBK to joke about the weather but she's not denying it either It feels too cold for snow here.

I've noticed someone saying they've had snow in warwickshire - any chance of the white stuff in Oxfordshire?

Same here! Stroke of noon and it all melted away!

I know, it's a weather miracle - it's all gone

Hmm - I think some legs have been well and truely pulled

Naughty Kitten, I feel a wee bit sorry for the children whose Mums took it seriously and told them it would snow later though :/

Mind you, it was a dead give away when Pan admitted to having snow - he only ever admits to sunshine

That was an oops chipping!

S,Herts
We've had sun for an hour here.

!!!! You all LIED ????

Just got back from Spar with my sledge. What did I miss?

We always have snow it seems. Not today but we had loads on Sat. And there's still white stuff in our garden that is unwilling to thaw. I reckon it has squatters rights by now.

Sky totally clear and blue now, just right for hard frost tonight, so may be all white tomorrow morning.

Oh sparkling you should have come here, it's lovely blue skies and sunshine

Nooooo Dizzy. How strange.

Can't believe it's +4 ,feels like -4 at least.

Oh yes Sparkling - in fact I washed a double duvet and it dried on the line today

thanks OYBK for this thread. It was fun. Really sorry if anyone did change plans or get dcs excited.

I'm not sorry if anyone changed plans! Fancy doing that on the say-so of some random people from the internet

I do think that there were enough heavy hints dropped on the thread for it to be fairly obvious what was going on.

Where has this actual snow come from, its snowing quite hard here. I was totally not expecting it
