Snow and Ice watch - March 2018

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Just saw other thread almost full.

Apparently I can't do this an hour after setting off and I'm back home again having made it about 800m.

Oh @OYBBK

We've been having the tiniest amount of snow here in worthing for a couple hours

[BiddyPop]

I'm starting to get worried about DH travelling to Cornwall (flies in and out in the day, one way through Exeter and the other way through Taunton), while I then have to go to Brussels and back from Dublin on Friday. And taking Cubs hosteling on saturday up the Dublin mountains...

Going to pa ugh better attention to forecasts this week!

[DartmoorDoughnut]

Very very cold here, bitter winds and the snow is lethal underfoot where people have walked on it. School closed. Kids bored but too cold for them to play in the snow. Argh!

[GloriaSmud]

Aw OYBBK ~ hope you've had a warming

I've just been outside and I don't think the wind is so biting now. Temperature's climbed up to 2.8C

[GloriaSmud]

Weather warning for ice for tonight/early tomorrow.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

I'm on my third cup of tea Gloria

[GloriaSmud]

Excellent!

Most of the roads around me are fine which led me into a false sense of security! I drove into the road where I park at work and it looked ok then suddenly I skid about 10 metres and I realised it's just one big sheet of black ice! Scary!

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

oh my goodness Titsy, that is scary!

It was scary on foot seeing cars slipping and sliding around so close to the footpath.

More ice tonight due to snow melt freezing, but I hope not so bad.

I was really looking forward to lighter warm evenings. Feels a mile off yet

Our brit sunshine is thawing the snow but the wind is brrrrrrrr!!

[Gertrudethestag]

Bright not brit*

It was worse on foot today than it had been in the snow. Went to the gym and supermarket on foot and had to teeter along like a flipping mountain goat so I didn't slip over. Took twice as long as I planned.

[HarveySchlumpfenburger]

Was thinking I might venture out, but you lot are putting me off slightly. Not looking too bad here but rest of SW looks like a bit of a nightmare from FB.

We've got quite a thaw setting in here at the moment. I stayed in rather than take the dog for his usual 6.30am walk/run as the paths were icy and although we only have to walk for a minute or two before we get to the woods I didn't fancy my chances on them.
There was still thick ice in places when I took him out at 10.30 but an hour later, when we came home, it was mostly gone. It's sunny so hopefully it'll dry the pavements so there's nothing to freeze again later.

OYBBK and Gloria you are both wonderful, thanks for all of the time you both take to keep us so well informed

[lubeybooby]

lovely thaw going on here

is this winters last dying gasp now please?

Please please please can we have spring now

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

It might not be Lubey. In models are hinting at a northerly in 10days time.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

You're welcome Madison :)

[Whatthefoxgoingon]

Glad everyone here has survived the little beast. See you all later for potential baby beast....

[MuddyForestWalks]

More winter? 😭😭😭

[fortyfourfeasts]

Aww not more?! Not Easter weekend. Please please. We are flying out of Heathrow on Good Friday. The last thing I thought I would have to worry about is the flight being cancelled due to snow!

[gttia]

I saw that for Easter!

[gttia]

I saw that for Easter!

[LaContessaDiPlump]

Oh please not more winter!

My half marathon was cancelled and I was considering booking a replacement for around April 8th. Tempted to wait until May now, just to be safe!!
