Gaffer just shouted out 'I can see half an inch' I was going to ask what she expected at my age, but I realised it was the snowfall that had grabbed her attention

That made me crack out with such a loud laugh, Chris!
Perfect style.
Very, very funny.
Even my Man Flu has abated.

…......that's only 30 mph, Paul.
I've heard that some folks in Portugal can break wind more forcefully than that.
And I don't mean the natives.

Sounds like someone has been talking behind my back, Colin.

I’m beginning to think you three should be on the stage........... ????

Yeah..
The 3 stooges.
Or perhaps
Wilson, Keppel and Betty... Google them, if you're too young.
Sand Dancers.

Still snow lingering in rural areas of Chorley with the low temperature freezing it not a pleasant experience trying to deliver the post plenty of wheel spinning

Beautiful sunset north of Oban this evening. May get down to -10 tonight though.

 

[Val54]

There is an amber alert out tonight from aurorawatch for any of you in the north, that’s the north Colin!!

It’s started of where we had frost and then a slight covering of snow. Well Misty enjoys the snow that will be good when the g/kids come and we have snow!

 

[Campervanannie]

Woohoo we’ve got snow ️ I thought it was never going to get here. ?

 

[edina]

Devon has snow, and we don't want any more.
Our part of the country should be warm and the chilly stuff kept oop norf. Obvious if you look at the river names - we have the river Otter and they have the river Calder!

 

[mariesnowgoose]

C-c-c-c-cold!

Snowfall overnight but only a titchy icing sugar dusting.

Didn't get above freezing all day yesterday.
Trip out to see someone, went from -3 degrees where we are in north Durham up to a tropical zero just south of the Tyne

Topped up bird feeders this morning just after it got light, there was a flurry of hailstones then a massive bolt of lightning and a deafening thunderclap. Does anyone else find it slightly surreal when there's thunder & lightning in the middle of severe winter weather & snowstorms?
I associate thunderstorms with late summer and heat waves...

Stay warm & safe again folks!

 

[mariesnowgoose]

Uh-oh!

Spoke too soon - just started to snow heavily & in earnest

Pic just now...

Beautiful morning north of Oban, but it’s still -7 degrees outside. Very cosy 21 in the van ?

I've just been out to clear the snow off the car and around it, I checked the temperature and in my soft southern opinion it must be minus at least a trillion.
I've watched the news, where it says we are in an amber alert, I can't see any amber or even yellow snow and we are preparing to drive (I know I've been warned) to Porlock in Somerset.
Do I take a shovel, blankets and a warm drink.

If you're going to Porlock, I should take a sledge - wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Yes. No argument. Don't muck about with weather like this, you naughty boy

The Wimp From The West has arrived and we have minus-a-lot degC, 5 feet of snow, howling wind and a sustained white out.
All schools are full of happy, rosy-cheeked children, public services are in full swing and I'm off out in my T-shirt and plimsoles to dig for coal and gather root veg from the clamp for our evening soup. There's scones and fresh bread crusting in the AGA and cream clotting on top of it preparing for it's marriage to home made strawberry jam this afternoon next to a lake of English tea.
Oh, and I've got full blown Man Flu with Hertfordshire hallucinations.

[Pauljenny]

Woo hoo.
We got out full 16 mms of robust rain, Overnight. and a spectacular rainbow, this morning.
That's enough for February, if we're careful
blustery northerly wind brings 8 degrees of you are unsheltered.
I'm taking every precaution to stay sheltered.
No leaks after the roof repairs, I'll cheerfully pay the builder, when he calls in tonight.. ⅓ of the cost for similar work in blighty.
Red bad weather alerts for most of NW Iberia , on local Tv It's grim up north...!

We had a look for it last night and saw maybe a faint glow, but nothing dramatic. I saw others photos from last night and they were quite spectacular, so must have just looked at the wrong times. It was worth braving the -10 temperature though as the stars were a truly amazing sight.
