'...all around me'
Well, it is in my part of Essex! ;D
-
Oooo send it here EJ!! Am waiting on tender hooks!! Suffolk, erm blow it North, I think...or is it North East? ???
Lottie ;D
-
Oh heck - that's a bit close for comfort Emma! (you're not that far away from me, but I'm sure there's a pretty big difference meterologically between rural Essex and East London (work) or Greater East London (home).)
(Although secretly I am hoping we get some, but not til monday and then it has to be enough to stop the tubes running so i can't go to work, otherwise it'll just make it harder to commute!)
-
Bah humbug! Keep it your way, any way but my way !
Derekthefox :D
-
Don't worry Aqui, it stopped! Lasted about 30 minutes though, right when the kids were out at lunch playtime so I bet they were all thrilled!!
Derek, you old misery you! ;) ;) ;) ;) I know you don't mean it...just think, snowball fights, building snowmen, and you could try out your new improved skating skills on the local frozen pond!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
those clouds up there are looking awful heavy now.
-
Yehay!!! Thanks EJ! It's here! Well..one flake..ish.. I think. she says peering up at sky....Yes is def snow!!!
Lottie ;D ;D ;D
-
Blue sky here, with strips of red and orange. It looks like a very cold night ...
Derekthefox :D
-
non here either. blue skies for miles, but just looking there does seem to be a few clouds moving in from east.
-
The Pennines seem to protect us here is Yorkshire. Just clear blue sky, lovely and sunny today, bit nippy though!
I hear Bodmin Moor is bad, people stranded due to accident.

-
There are 200 children trapped in a school in cornwall because of a freak snow blizzard. :o :o :o :o
-
It's a bit late now but I'll call my mother tomorrow and check that one. No snow in Birmingham but it's been freezing all day.
-
nought here much to my daughters disgust! ;D
-
Nan and Grandad are about 25 minutes from the border of Cornwall, and they have thick thick snow! My auntie lives in a little village called Westleigh, close to Instow beach, and she is snowed in! The village is cut off!! No more snow in Essex this afternoon but BOY WAS IT COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Jolly cold here tonight....
Late dinner as we went to pick up my cousin's husband from the station after his week of London meetings. He's staying for the weekend.
Warm inside (only) and thank heavens for Jeff as it's 40 degrees back home in Oz!
Cuddle up! CLx
-
I just spoke to my mother, she's on south Cornwall halfway between St. Austell and Truro. She said it's been total chaos on the roads, and the train from Plymouth got stuck last night, but they're OK, with about a foot of snow.
-
Glorious sunshine and quite mild here (Coventry) !!!
Derekthefox :D
-
Not bad here in Leeds either. Cloudy, a very slight drizzle, didn't last long, mild too. Long may it continue.
I'm with you Derek, no snow please, mostly because of the trouble it causes so many people.
Lily

Well, just come in for a spot of lunch and had a cold but productive morning in the garden. Thick mulch over dahlias of spent compost, wrapped the bananas up with net curtains and stuffed loosely with straw and covered the gunnera with conifer trimmings, so they should all be cosy during the long cold winter. Now, back out to rake up the leaves, put the last of the pots away, stash all the kids toys in their playhouse and and generally tidy the borders. BBBRRR
-
Well guys as I type this it is minus 2 C here at 2:45 pm, It is bitter cold with a strong wind. Brrrrr
-
No snow here in the Fens. Today we have had bright sunshine then torential rain showers, this has been going on all day but it isn't as cold as it has been.
-
Don't forget to introduce him to A4A. ;D ;D
Lily

Wardy Apart from being the friendly person you are no doubt the kettle will be boiling in the shed as well :)
-
Yup our allotment crowd are pretty friendly too, the shout went up to unload a wagon, and five of us were there before the driver had removed the tarpaulin. An hour of grunting and sweating and the wagon was cleared. We all pottered back to our plots then ...
Derekthefox :D
-
Watch out Derick, snow just started falling in Tamworth, not far down the road from you.

Derekthefox :D
I can but hope we get snowed out, as we have an OFSTED inspection tomorrow and Wednesday ...
-
Maggie. Lovely and sunny and quite warm here!!! Only kidding but no snow in The Fens and it isn't cold but it is overcast. Had rain on and off over the weekend.
-
Saw a couple of snowflakes this morning, they melted before they hit the ground ! Then on way back from Wakefield, it began to sleet. Now it's just rain. It's cold enough to snow though.

Derek
-
Had snow and hail yesterday but, its now put down a decent blanket of snow here and mutley being new to it all ( jed the dog ) has decided its loads of fun to chase every flake that falls ;D
-

Lottie

Derek
-
Derek. Getting nearer to me ::)
-
None in my part of the world (west essex/east london) unless it was in the middle of the night and melted by morning. We had a bit of sleet late saturday morning. but that was it. rather relieved and only slightly disappointed.
But at least it's warmer now. (slightly!)
-
Derek, not sure whether to thank you or warn the post man!! But think I'll go for Thank you!!! My postman is always bad tempered bless him. Remember when the kids were little, Meg waiting for Bday cards, he came up the path, I opened the door and said "Ooo look it's postman Pat.." Long pause, he glared at us and said "Neil, name is Neil.." Such a sweetie.... ::) ::) ::)

Very heavy snow falling here now (Coventry). Causing problems for all those drivers, fortunately I can walk home, but need my car for the guitar class tonight ...
Derekthefox :D
-

Dear BBC,

We had a few inches of snow here in West Oxfordshire around 6-7pm.

Around ten o'clock last night the snow was thawing beautifully....
this morning the locks have froze on my van...had the devil of a job getting them open to put my gear in.
OK ...I have had enough of winter now...lets get on with spring
Derek
-
only another 4 months to go before spring starts. Sowing onions in January so that is a start for next years growing season.

It was freezing all the way from Saltburn to york when I drove into work this morning. The nursery car park was like an ice rink. No snow though.
-
all snow has thawed now - had to pour hot water over the latch on gate this morning it was frozen solid!!!!!!
-
We're covered in white stuff!!
Dog was hilarious last night - she loves snow. Racing around like a mad cap last night when she discovered....13 going on 3!
Love CLx

Cold in Essex, but the sun is out, no frost, no snow! Got the allotment and it looks fab, not a weed in sight! Dug up 4 huge parsnips, bunch of carrots, pulled 2 celerys which are holding well, 6 leeks, bag of spinach, bag of white swiss chard and a bowl of sprouts. Perfect!
-
Still no snow hear in South Leeds. Just a beautiful, cold, crisp sunny day, with just a hint of whispy clouds. I hear it's 17 deg in Penzance.

Frozen hard, treacherous conditions, not at all pleasant ...
