Blackrocksrock Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I flew to dublin last saturday from aberdeen and we went down the east coast and wow was it white and saw the 2 forth bridges, rail and road and the whiteness lasted well down and then was over in ireland as well - not seen it from above like that before and was stunning as we were above in sunshine and it looked so spectacular. Coming back we came near the western isles and saw the hills with icing sugar on them and some snow but not as bad as it was last week. They say more is to fall on thursday and I have done my shopping so have so much in freezers it can snow now and I dont need to go out!

Old Speckled Hen Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 We had a balmy 7˚ here today. The calm before the storm. More snow on Thursday and plummeting temperatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 It really feels a lot colder here today, there's a brisk breeze and plenty of cloud.....snow on its way I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I had a horrid nose bleed this morning, I seem to get them just before we get snow here, I guess is the change in temperature that does it. I had one last year just before we had lots of snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Sooo, is Banbury due to get 10 feet of blood-stained snow then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 We are due snow tonight, 50cms according to a weather forecast this morning. Off to the shops soon as I need to stock up on chicken pellets just in case I can't get into town. I have told my boss at work I will not be walking into work if the snow is bad and I can't drive in. The School boarders all went home for the holidays on Monday, they were the reason I went to work on foot for two weeks when we had the last lot of snow. Only non teaching staff still working there and I am sure they could take in a packed lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 One weather website says we have bright sun Thursday, another says heavy snow . I think I'll use the "look out of the window" forecast method . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 One weather website says we have bright sun Thursday, another says heavy snow . I think I'll use the "look out of the window" forecast method . We've got rain, sleet, sun and snow according to Metcheck and heavy rain according to the Beeb for tomorrow. Think I'll copy you ANH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due home tomorrow and frantically watching the weather sites for news of snow. I don't want to get stuck here. Comparisons are being made of the 1927 blizzards on Christmas day.

Specially requested an early flight, so that I could be home in time for Mum's birthday gathering in the afternoon. When it all goes wrong, you want to meet for a coffee?
