Badkittens weather into the new year thread.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Following on from the Boxing Day snow thread we have weather warnings from the met office for snow down part of the east coast and widespread ice. Around Northampton could also see some snow today. Take care over night and into tomorrow morning.

The theme of rather cold carries on through this week, especially away from western coasts. Some central areas could struggle to get above 0C even in the day time. Some sharp frosts. The next few days look dry and cold, with perhaps some freezing fog, especially over any snow fields. At the moment it looks like things might become milder through Thursday with rain moving in. GFS disagrees with this though and keeps things cold.

GFS then keeps teasing with a possibly dramatic return to school snow wise for some. Its a long way ahead but as ever I will keep you updated. However i may not be always able to answer specific questions due to real life so if you need to know urgently please check out the met office

Just had a shower of rain, sun now back out, must be doing the wrong dance. Changes to other direction.

It's pissing drizzling now and the suns coming out. Bastard.

blue sunny skies here!

raining.

Just as the road was clearing it started snowing heavily again and laying. Now its bad again. grrr

Hoping my picture works, the first time I have tried.

Yey it worked, that was the front of my house, this is the back

Light grey cloud here [technical term]

Sleety/rainy stuff here (Leicester) as well.
Fyrefly ~ we're (as in Leicestershire) is forecast to have heavy snow later on.
I'm bigtime at the thought of you flinging open the windows and shouting that at the sky but the neighbours would be all and

Lovely snowy pictures, Biscuits!

I give up :(

Just rain now

Nooooo oybbk if you give up there's no hope left

Snowing and settling in Leicestershire

thanks Gloria

big fluffy flaky sleety. not sure if settling...

... grass lightish green. falling and melting slowly. paths disappearing immediately or in max of five seconds.

it keeps slowing down which gives the stuff time to melt.

massive fluffy flakes, grass and a dusting in the cracks of the path and at the edge of the drive and on the roofs. however, as soon as it eases off it disappears again.

it is tormenting me.

Biscuits, what a beautiful view from the back of your house. I love big sky like that. Must be amazing watching the weather coming in.

We,ve had a beautiful morning. Blue skies, a few fluffy clouds. Windy and cold but lovely.

No it's starting to cloud over all around, but blue sky overhead. The clouds are moving quite quickly.

I can't believe we're under the yellow warning now in the south east.

Are we supposed to be getting lots? We've had nothing so far. We're on the London surrey border.

Good luck everyone!
Xxx

It's getting sunnier. Still cold but blue sky.

We want snow in the south/South west , any chances of us getting some anytime soon? We have had rain, sleet, hail and a few people have spotted a few flakes of snow ( not me ), hopefully it will get colder tonight and we might see a flake or two.

Clouds rushing across the sky now - very dark clouds. The only problem is the temp is still 5.2!

Met office forecast now says heavy rain at 2, sleet at 3 and heavy snow at 4

Lots of snow. But I am working so can't enjoy it. It started falling at 8.15 and only stopped about 12. It's just showers now though.

The youngest dc primary school closed at lunchtime so DH has sorted them out, but eldest Manky is not going to be happy as his high school is open!

Hurray! I'm back after a year of not being able to register. The heartbleed thingy did for me and mn wouldn't recognise my email address. Anyway,it is snowing heavily now in Leicestershire, after nothing at all. I felt the earthquake last night as we are near Oakham.I thought a car had hit the house,it was such a bang and then a lot of rumbling. It woke the DDS up,which didn't happen when we had 2 earthquakes last year.

Snow, we've had snow!
It started as rain but quickly turned to snow and has only been going 5 minutes but we've already got a cm covering. I think I just heard a rumble of thunder as well, temperature's plunged from 3.4C to 1.7C in about 10 minutes.

Yay, welcome back mirage!
Aw snow's stopped now and it's getting brighter.
