If not they will have to phone them and ask the undertaker to keep him on a low light by ace

love it  ;D ;D

don't know where in manchester you are druid but it's coming down quite quickly here in wigan now, luckily we got to the plot yesterday..maybe it's started there now, I'm not sure if I like it or not, nice to look at and play in but gets in the way of gardening  ;D

We got plenty here in Oxford. Not quite as much as Tim by the looks of it, but close. Probably 3 inches at least perhaps a bit more. Still coming down gently. Took some photos on the walk to work, but can't get at them till I get home.  ::)

We had a couple of inches of snow in the early hours of the morning, here on the edge of the Salisbury Plain.  However, by 9am it rained briefly and there is now just a light scattering on the grass.  It has all gone off the trees though so I wasn't able to get any good photos.   :'(

City centre Manchester's got grey skies and a cold breeze but no snow as yet, discounting the few bits of dandruff that's blowing about.

  I'm sitting at home with a sore throat and temperature so not sure I will be out enjoying it   ???
Snap. Got up at 5.20 tp take somew more painkillers, due to go to work for a 12 hour shift, no way! Phoned the hospital to tell them the good news, back to bed.......

Snowed about an inch so far in Derby, getting heavier. The cats and I are staying in bed....

If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Just explain this one, please -

1. West side of our house - snow packing on the SOUTH side of the trunk.

2.  East side of the house - snow packing on the NORTH side of the trunk.



Wind does strange things when it eddies round obstacles like houses! The college is open, worse luck, but a lot of students haven't made it, and so far I've had one lesson that happened as usual, and one cancelled.

We escaped the snow here in the south-west, but it rained heavily last night - 10mm of it. Today is mild at 10C and alternating blue skies and  heavy showers.

Oh I feel so much better now you've said that!  :'( Hope it just stays as a grotty cold..

Perhaps the colder weather will kill off all the bugs......

It's a shame, it is pouring with rain here now and the snow will go.  My boys are still out in it though, determined to make the most of it! ::)

Don't forget to drive a bit slower. I had to slow down a bit this morning due to the weather. Dazzled a bit with the morning sunshine ;D
