Woke up this morning with 1 inch snow - none forcast here at all and it is very rare for us to get any!!!  on the Wirral by the way

Took ages to clean the car off as it had froze the doors as well.  -6

Weather now sunny but cold

We had a few minutes' snowfall during a Geography lesson this morning, but it very soon melted.

I heard that also Tin Shed.  Ipswich is pretty nippy apparently, and that ain't that far away!  BBRR.  I thought we were over this and could start planning Spring.  Who turned the thermostat down huh??

One of my students was a bit apprehensive today as he's going on a field trip to the Lake District next week and doesn't know what he's in for.

i'm just waiting to have to scrape the bubblewrap and fleece windscreen cover on the windscreen tomorrow morning ! - NOT.

we're forecast for sun all week (which has made tropical temps in the g/h) but ruddy cold outside.

hellebore picked up after this morning's frost, poor wee thing.

Well now, here in Belgium, a land of 4x4's and crappy operators there of, when the forecast say's 'Snow in the Ardennes,' the people in Antwerp, a hundred miles away or more, drive around with fog lights on front and rear and the local DIY shops run out of snow chains........I have to laugh......last time it snowed here was 1999 and it joooost about covered the road for an hour.

Should be lucky, it will turn to rain on the sunny sarf coast. I also turned a big bed over yesterday, so a bit of frost would be handy.

Fantastic frost this morning in Essex - but no snow yet, but haven't watched the weather forecast today so don't know what is expected.

-4.5 when I went to work this morning frost on the cars but not much on the floor, I walk to work so there's no scrapping for me, like Matty I'm waiting for my clods to break down.  ;D ;D
