Snow watch 2017/18 Part 2

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Just in case we need this early next week

Pretty blah in East Surrey. We had a couple hours of heavy snow forecast this morning but all we got was very fine namby pamby snow that just floated around looking pretty. Boo. Had a memory from 6 years ago pop up on FB today of us sledging in deep snow. I think that was the last time we got anything decent. We're going to have to start going abroad for holidays to get decent snow as well as decent sun I think!

updated warnings

It will be interesting to see how far tomorrow's band makes it across.

Bring it on...I'm ready !!!

Getting a bit excited about the snowflakes on my weather forecast for tomorrow!

Just got up for a pee and looked out of the window....snowing in Edinburgh
Nice band moving eastwards ( if my screen shot has posted )

Ooo, excellent stuff Perihelion!

We've woken up to surprise snow as well here (Leicester) and we seem to be covered by one of the (updated) weather warnings as well now.

Erm, our snow (that wasn't forecast) is coming down in quite an 'aggressive manner' here and we've got 1-2cms already. This could make the school run 'interesting.'

All mentions of snow for S Berks this week, have gone. I feel like instead of details when I click on the Metoffice app it should just come up with 'give up it isn't going to happen'

For those that get it - Enjoy!

Cold and grey here in Manchester.

No snow!

Excitement over ~ 'tis stopping. End result ~ about 2cms.

Oh it's so pretty here right now! It must be 3 years since it last snowed here at least. Also the roads are good so I can send the DC to school, perfect snow!

Aggressive snow is my favourite snow. We now have civilized snow.... everything is covered except the roads ( and not through gritting, just a wee bit warm )

Just heard on the radio that the BBC is launching new weather graphics and un-tilting the map. So Scotland should be back to normal size

Garden covered (and so pretty) road clear in coastal South Lakes.

Just starting in Warrington, looks reasonably hopeful! DC's in school so all good!

It has been snowing, quite heavily here now for almost 5 hours, not one flake has settled, what an absolute waste!!

snowed on and off here for the last 5 hours too - but the flakes are fine and only settling on some of the grassy areas - the pavements are just wet

Misty ~ I hate it when that happens. Seems such a waste of energy to snow that long and yet achieve nothing!

Updated weather warnings through until Friday.

We've actually had snow instead of rain

North Kent/south London are forecast snow overnight :-(. No pls no. I need to do three school drop offs and busy at work!

gttia ~ think it'll only be showers, might be slight accumulation but nothing too major. Ice could be the main problem though (and that goes for a lot of the country overnight.)

We've been having a 'civilized' snow shower (as opposed to the 'aggressive manner' of the one this morning) for the last 2 hours or so. Very slight covering on grass but that's it.

Nothing here at all

Manchester had 6 hours of constant snowfall, and this was the extent of the snow cover in my garden (see pic).
I have no idea why that one brick accumulated snow better than the rest of the garden, but it's better than nothing I suppose, still decent snow cover for Manchester...

Phew Gloria. I literally hate the stuff . I like to get to work and back and not worry all day about school closing etc. Showers I can just about cope with...
