Has anyone had any of the forcasted snow yet - we are still waiting for it down here in the fens. It's very cold but bright today so not going too far from home.

None down here in London, very grey and overcast and too cold to work out side. Did alot of work on Saturday though so don't feel too bad; sun was warm and was working in just a t-shirt, not today ! I'd be a BlueT*t not a Robin redbreast!!!!

None on the Pennines as yet but it's not due here until tonight according to the forecast.

Quite mild here-just right to barrow 31 loads of cow poo-and there is still a huge pile in the field.

Dont worry folks its on its way :D. Those of you in the north and east should have had some by tomorrow morning. :-/

Keep us posted on weather progress will you? ???

Nope, none in Essex yet, altho they did say on the news last nite we had a 70% chance of getting it tomorrow! Been warned by the boys school not to make the journey if we have the snow as it is nearly a 50mile round trip!

If the weather outside is frightful, and the fire is so delightful, then since theres no place to goooooo....let it snow let it snow let it snow!

no snow in whitley bay yet - lots of freezing rain though! I'm really need to go to Amble tomorrow - 25 miles way up into the colds of Northumberland - not looking forward to that drive. At least its on a coastal route, and the snow is never as bad on the coast as it is inland - what an optimist!! Never been before and have no sense of direction so should be fun!

None in East Kent yet either, just very menacing clouds. Hope it holds off til Wednesday, got a fair bit of driving to do tomorrow and the M2/A2 which cannot be avoided when getting out of this village is notorious for accidents during any kind of bad weather!

Please keep fingers crossed for me.

Sorry, EJ, share your love of snow but a bit difficult when have to do things ;D

:-/Don't mind snow, but would prefer it to wait until Weds. I have loads of college work to do tomorrow, and need to use their Mac. From Weds could do 'arty' stuff at home whilst kids at school.

There wasn't even a frost here in Bucks this morning!

Cold but not drasticaly so, and no sign of freezing yet here in South Dorset. Temperatures are perhaps what one would expect at this time of year. In contrast to recent temperatures which have been exceedingly mild for the time of year.

Wouldnt mind seeing a bit of snow (not TOO MUCH though), better than grey and wet! ;)

It`s quite cold here in Glos............I want snow!! ;D Want a real winter for a change, kill off the bugs and generally liven things up.

MagpieDi · « **Reply #12 on:** January 27, 2004, 00:40:39 »

It's here!!
Just driven through blizzard......but just a fierce shower!!

Anyone with a snowboard ....come and join us!! Sounds as though the conditions will be perfect by Wednesday!! 8) ;D

P.S.....gotta admit........I just watch the kids.....my bones are too precious!!! ;) ;D

I thought it was going to snow last night. Whilst gazing out the window before going to bed, as I often do, I noticed the clouds look really heavy, low, solid and white - definitely looked like they were loaded with the white stuff.

But I really hope it doesn't. I don't mind flakes, but don't let it settle here (London/Essex) - I love snow, but not commuting when we've got a thick covering of the stuff. And it's far too beautiful and way too much fun for it to be wasted while I'm at work!

Shetland has got snow according to my husband. They're on the ball up there though as all the roads are clear. Had a spattering of hail about an hour ago here but no snow yet either.

legless · « **Reply #15 on:** January 27, 2004, 18:47:25 »

I have to say we've got off very lightly down my way so far. Cold yes but last nights forecast frost did not materialise. Too much cloud i think.

Today has been largely bright and sunny, a few treatening clouds at times but nothing came out of them. Getting cold now, might have a frost tonight, unles the snow arrives first! Did think the clouds were building as it got dark, so perhaps it will be snow not frost. Have to wait and see. :-/

Muddy_Boots · « **Reply #18 on:** January 27, 2004, 19:53:54 »

Too many snickers, Oz

Getting addicted. More acu needed!
