bluekarin Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 You are in S aren't you BK? The weather is heading your way....My friend is in The Collingbournes....Just checked outside and big flakes are falling now. Glad I brought lots of wooden and kindling in and did a food shop earlier. Yes I am. Not looked out for a little while, but it had stopped when I last looked which was about 6ish (just getting YD to have a look to give me a weather report..........still nothing, just cold).

charly1979 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Still snowing ... really glad to be home as I have heard via facebook that the A37 is closed through Farrington Gurney aparently loads of motorists stranded due to cars stuck on the hill, villagers are trying to get the village hall opened for them, they have said that gritters have been past and not dropped any grit but im assuming that these must be empty ?? Stay safe everyone xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertie Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Terrible snow here caused travel chaos in Bristol/bath. I had to abandon my car & walk for an hour, & so did colleague out near WSM. There's more forecast for Friday I saw on Yahoo weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Just looked out to see what state the road is in and noticed it is snowing here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 More forecast here too, though it hasnt arrived yet. I'm due to drive from Leeds to Solihull for a course on Thursday, I'm feeling a bit about that now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 DS went on his trip today to parliament, he said there were massive banks of snow by the side of the motorway. It was snowing here before they had even left London, they came back on M40 then when they cme off around Oxford teacher decided to take his favourite short cut down some Oxfordshire lanes, fortunately he realised the error of his ways and turned rind and came back on the A40 instead which was pretty rough over the higher ground. He was eventually dropped off in Cheltenham so we didn't have to drive too far to collect him, his school is 5 miles away, so we were glad of that. It has been a blizzard here all evening but has now turned to fine rain and sleet mix, the snow that fell was very wet but it did settle on the man road for a time and has added to the lying snow which was starting to melt. I have been in tenterhooks all day, very lad to have him home safe. Take care out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Teeny weeny icing sugar dusting of snow overnight here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Heavy snow yesterday evening but it must have stopped soon after 10.30pm as there's only an extra 2" this morning. Wasn't snowing at 5am, but is snowing again now. I understand that we're due another dump of snow tomorrow or Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 About an inch or so more , on top of the last lot, and ice here. makes for interesting driving conditions, esp on back roads. Snowing again now, just been out throwing snowballs at the dog! She loves it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 A few more centimetres here in Wales! I'm hoping it stays off a bit now, as I'm driving to my sister's in Cheshire this weekend. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 It has been snowing steadily all afternoon; I suspect that R's lifeguarding lesson will be cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charly1979 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Whilst I love the snow I am hoping that its done for us now ..... given up on watching the weather forecast as it just keeps changing (having said that my next website to visit shall be the met office ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 It's stopped snowing here now and apparently it's on the way up north. We are due rain at the weekend... going to be very muddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Well, yet again the met office website came up trumps NOT. Snow all day yet none forecast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 It has snowed on and off for most of the day here too, but very little has settled, there is a bitter wind too. A colleague of ours was in London for a show last night and they started back at 10.30pm, didn't get home until 3.30am said the A44 in Oxfordshire was dire.

bluekarin Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Our 'rain' has turned into snow, and is settling! We weren't even meant to get rain! Just cloudy! I too have given up with weather reports as they are just not reliable enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charly1979 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 We now have light snow untill goodness knows when I did my wifey duties and cleared the drive for the Hubby about 30 mins ago its now got a light dusting of snow so that was a waste of my time bet he wont even notice . I have no idea what time he is due home too lets hope the roads are better than last night. Whilst I hate to wish time away I am looking forward to spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Same here re the weather forecasts - we were forecast snow overnight but we had very little....then we had heavy snow all morning and fine snow all afternoon....which we weren't supposed to be having at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I swept my car clear on Monday night (for the second time since Friday) and this morning there was another 3 to 4 inches on it! Birmingham looks like it is covered in fluffy foam, it is everywhere, particularly clumpy in the trees! Main roads are OK though, just the side roads which are bad. We have freezing temperatures forecast for tonight, and it is going noticably colder now, so it might be very icy and slippery tomorrow.

The Dogmother Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Not snowing here but don't think it's really colder, will check the thermometer when I go upstairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
