Allotments 4 All

We had about a cm on thurs and then another cm yesterday, which was then washed away with a load of rain.  It is now snowing again and we have a couple of cm. This is South Manchester. Anyone in Bury? Much snow there?

I have Rels. in Rossendale... bet they have some. MIL in York has 6" and we have a sprinkling here in Derby  :)

thick, then hail and freezing temps, still, lovely snowmen  ;D

Just a covering in south Birmingham.

Not enough for snow balls/men, but enough to go sledging and more that enough to cancel a train.

Snow ? wot Snow ?

Thursday nights snow is disappearing & I can see the weeds again

Just a very very light dusting.

about 100 mm, (4 inches in old money)  ;D ;D ;D
been out for a stroll, the marsh harriers are hunting the frozen reed-beds, groups of blackbirds on the hawthorn, lovely !!!!

none - but it's darn cold!

Still plenty laying here although there was only a light fall last night. Getting fed up with having to keep drying the dogs tummy when she comes in from the garden Do they sell "doggy stilts" I wonder. Bitterly cold.

We had 3-4" over night Thurs/Fri in Essex. I had a slight panic as was preparing food Friday and part of Saturday for MIL 80th Birthday( surprise until 5 minutes before she arrived- she thought she was going out for a meal with her 2 sons and their families)- had 35 guests coming to our home from Brighton way, Lincolnshire, Kent and Sussex and had visions of no one turning up.

In my mind I formed a contingency plan, we could open the house to all the neighbours to consume the food and drink. The neighbours lost out as all bar 2 guests arrived and a good time was had by all I believe. Several people had not seen each other for between 6-10 years and some children not at all. My MIL had not seen one sister for approximately 8-10 years.

I have now got to start again as having immediate family for Christmas. Snow still remains as it has been so cold

I would like to wish everyone a happy Christmas

Loads of snow here.  Went to allotment can't see swiss chard or spinach beet. All covered in snow.

A lot of animal footprints around the site, foxes mainly.

Plenty of idiots got stuck in our cul de sac ( we live down a slope).  Fortunately they all eventually got out.

Walked through snow above the ankles and in some places nearly up to my knees.

Somehow I don't think it will be gone by tomorrow night.

16 inches. Lovely

Hi Y'all

All my outlaws in Essex and London have had heaps.  Here in the Wild West a flurry on Saturday which laid hen tfroze, and overnight last night anoher flurry which also froze.  Just enough for pavements to be deadly and the kids to be happy making slides.  And butt-freezing cold!!!!

Holy moly, GrannieAnnie, that's a lot of snow there!  Where are you?

We've had some nice falls here in W.Essex but nothing life stopping, lol, perhaps 2-3 inches.  Another fall overnight but again, nothing major.  Why oh why couldn't it have held out for a few more days so a white Christmas could be had by all?? ::)

If the snow is still in my garden come Christmas day, I'm gonna get the family to run out for a picture so I can declare 2009 a white Christmas!

Tonybloke- beautiful pictures! Like oil paintings!

I always found when living in the Pennines that snow stopped being funny once it was over your wellies... Anything over a foot deep is just a pain...  ::)
