we've had an inch or so in the last couple of hours we're up to about 3"

Just taken the dog down the garden - in the last hour we've had an inch of snow! It's -2 but the snow sounds wet, so hopefully it'll be gone by morning.

We have had sleet and rain this evening and it is just below freezing.

The bbc weather forecast tonight said the freezing weather could last into the NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What do the BBC know!!! We had a big fall of snow yesterday evening and then a thaw, it looks horrid outside, but it does mean I can clean the cube and eglu out more easily at least.

I have really enjoyed looking at all of your snow pics Thought that I would share some of my pics taken recently

 

 

[bigmommasally]

Awhhh Cute puppy

 

We've had rain overnight which has washed some of the snow away.

[Charlottechicken]

We had over an inch in just an hour last night, a good two inches in total, and it was still snowing heavily when I went to bed. We have virtually nothing now, it's all melted, I'm just a little disappointed. Glad I took pics yesterday!

[Seagazer]

Very cute dog and kiddies Paola

 

We are starting to thaw! Yay

 

My ES's friend came over yesterday by car. I asked what the roads were like and he said main roads fine but that our road was awful. We are on a bit of a hill. I just hope it keeps thawing, got to get out to buy YS's birthday present.

Same here...all gone...it's almost like we imagined it - it's positively balmy out there this morning!!

[Valkyrie]

You can go off some people Paola! Now they're very festive coloured piccies.

 

It's melting here - I can see pathways that weren't swept. The road is still an ice rink though. Heard some sliding cars this morning heading for the centre of the roundabout instead of around it!

 

Grracee because it's dark the flash is lighting up the flakes really well - very atmospheric.

We've got rain It was soooooooooo cold last night that I put the CH to stay on all night which I can never remember doing before (only rads downstairs though) and it felt like a sauna downstairs when I got up!

[Cinnamon]

I went to be all excited at 11pm last night as it was snowing heavily

Woke at 3am to pounding rain on the roof,so no snow left for us

 

Its very misty/foggy here today & I haven't ventured out yet to check the temperature,but snow is forecast for early evening.

had very rare 'animal' here this morning a Sandwell griter on a side road a sure sign that there's a thaw on the way as thats normally what happens after they grit the side roads

[Ain't Nobody Here]

So much for the freezing temperatures . We seem to have a thaw on . It'll take a while to melt all that snow but at least we might get the car out for the first time in 8 days .

I feel we need a photo to prove it. We don't know what they look like - can you remind us?

[Plum]

I want one of those.

 

Feels colder though because the air's so damp

sorry no photo was in to much shock to find the camara

[Valkyrie]

I think they are a mythical beastie and you were very lucky to see one.

[Old Speckled Hen]

We have a dead one on the A6.

It's come off the road and is lying on its side

[Snowy]

Definitely warming up today. Snow is getting slushy underfoot, but it does feel colder - and damper

[Daphne]

Wah hay I can see my garden. Its green

 

Loads of wind and rain in the night and as if by magic nearly all that snow has disappeared. Top hen who hasn't put her beak outside her house for 3 days charged out to the feed bowl and its all virtually back to normal. HURRRRAYYYYY

[Ain't Nobody Here]

We had a pair of mythical beasties running down our road this morning . Not sure if they were a couple or just friends .

I finally managed to battle my way out yesterday, with the help of my lovely neighbours we dug out enough of the drift to get my Landy out so I could go to Leeds and get some new tyres fitted. Then I went to Sainsburys in Huddersfield which was like Christmas Eve shopping, packed to the doors, absolutely awful. Ran a few errands for mum then home. Helped to tow a Japanese 4x4 out who'd got stuck on the hill by my house last night. Then this morning looked out and the drifts are huge, they are pretty much filling in the gap between the two walls over a distance of about 20 ft and are 3-4ft deep!

Here are some more photos!!

 

 

 

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Gorgeous photos (but not such nice snowdrifts ).

 

My girls got their first taste of freedom for a week. They appear to be attempting to eat the snow to get at the grass .

 

[Omletina Kyckling]

Aw bless! I've not let mine out in it yet....so scared of the fox calling!
