Lesley Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 We had snow most of yesterday which didn't settle but we have settled snow overnight. The road looks clear though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 We had snow from noon yesterday which didn't start sticking until about 4pm. After that it just got worse and overnight we have had aound 2 inches. It is melting now though as the sky is clear blue but my road is ridges of snow with ruts to drive in, and very slushy. More is forecast, along with low temperatures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Lots of snow here. Went to work with DH in London yesterday and came back to it all. No signs of any snow until we got to the Milton Keynes M1 junction. Awful drive from Northampton up the A43. Got to go down our road to find it shut, it has only been reopened in last hour. Tried to go round another way through local village, an artic had tried to go that way, realised itwasn't meant to/couldn't and got stuck. We were trapped behind a gritter and couldn't go forward or back till it moved. Luckily after many attempts it managed to turn round and we were able to get home another way. Several lorries and a coach were stranded overnight in the village. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Well my part of sunny Devonshire is now having heavy settling snow quite shocked when I opened the curtains I tell you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Snowed during night here too and tried on and off all morning but not much doing thankfully - still very slippy underfoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Lovely photo of a grumpy Otis We had loads of snow yesterday, but very little stuck. Another inch last night, but it has mostly melted in the lovely sunshine we've had. I've had a couple of days off with Rosie for half term, and we've just been for a lovely walk with the hooond.

Valkyrie Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Ahhh cute doggy pic. Tis cold here - Murray just gone to get mum (and a takeaway don't tell Cookie) and frost on the car! Luckily no snow - but that lovely fire looks very inviting. I might just have to have Otis staring at me for a while as I pretend the fire is in here!

Helly Welly Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 We've had more fat snow today, just as yesterdays had melted!!! I've really had enough now, we'd better have a decent summer after all this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Snowed for most of the day yesterday, about ankle deep. Driving home from work was not nice as the snow from the morning had frozen. I do hope it melts today but I doubt it as the temp here is -6c at the moment. There is still a pile of frozen snow in the carpark at work from the snow we had in December and January.

Charlottechicken Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 There is still a pile of frozen snow in the carpark at work from the snow we had in December and January. Woke up to another couple of inches of snow, it looks like a foam party out there Thankfully the Friday snow had melted off the roads and pavements. Chickens refuse to free range in it, so it must be bad There's bird and squirrel tracks all over the garden. Not sure what the forecast is so must check to see if we are having more.

Egluntyne Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 It has been snowing heavily here all night. There must be at least four inches, and no sign of any let up. No mention of this on the weather forecast yestersday. So I guess we should have expected it. Scuppers my plans for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 More snow here to. Road is okish at the moment. My parents are going on holiday early hours of Tues morning. Mum will not be happy if she can't get to Brum airport or if the runway is closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Snow's back here too; an inch perhaps but still snowing and plenty in that sky. West Cumbria has more with a good few inches reported in Millom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miffy Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 we had heavy (for us) snow yesterday in town but not out here. But my son has just got in having slept in his car by the beach and he said it was snowing early this morning although it didnt settle.

ClaireG Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Our road is closed again Several cars in ditch in next village. Gritter now going backwards and forwards. The road has been closed further up than on Thursday. Hope they've cleared the cars and it's reopen by time DH comes home or heaven knows how he is going to get here.

Redwing Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 loads of snow here, got my ski gear on (not to ski in - to muck out in ) Road is clear so best of both worlds, able to get out if we need to but lots of snow to enjot too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrocksrock Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Our snow is set to stay a while as it was minus 10.4 when I got up at 8am to let the girls out and the sun was up so presume it was worse than that in the night - it was cold last night anyway and really getting fed up of it but the sun on the frozen snow is just beautiful this morning and the trees are shining.

ali-s Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 -7c at 8am, the snow is still here. Brilliant blue skies and bright sunshine now. The snow lying on the fields is sparkling like thousands of diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Only the odd flurry and the sun is out. We've had three inches today though I was hoping we'd seen the end of this. It's nearly March after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
