The Dogmother Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Who has it, and photos please None here yet, just wet sleet, but it's falling properly in the Chilterns, and I saw a car with lots of snow on it in Banbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 None here,just outside Belfast. Although they keep promising it and the boys are most excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Who has it, and photos please None here yet, just wet sleet, but it's falling properly in the Chilterns, and I saw a car with lots of snow on it in Banbury. We are in Chalgrove just on the other side of the Chilterns to DM and have had what I would refer to as a dusting. The roads and pavements in the village are just wet as any snow hasn't really settled on them but gardens and roofs are white. It's patchy though so, unless there is significantly more overnight (not forecast) it may all be gone by early morning. I think the real problem will be black ice on the roads tomorrow unless the gritters have been out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 On the Rutland Northants border we have rain so far. When I came home from school at 2.00 a grittier was gritting on the A43. Hope we don't get any snow and it isn't too icy in the morning. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 had a couple of flurries here mid afternoon and about 1hr ago but to wet to come to anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Well, it has stopped here, bitterly cold wind, but nothing coming down as yet. Great Missenden and Radnage have both had a bit of proper snow, and some of the villages hereabouts have too. Just off out to pop the frost cover on my car.

soapdragon Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 We are further down the hill than Radnage so maybe it's higher ground getting the worst round here. Although we were forecast to have heavy snow for the last 3 hours it has only really been an hour or so and is now melting away! And the boys were getting so excited about having a day off school tomorrow...a tad premature, methinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 We have had about 3 inches altogether - lorries and cars stuck going up hills etc round and about - but hey it is WINTER folks I am a bit fed up of people today going on how awful it is = it would be awful in May rather than January. Will attempt a picture. Picture too dark - will wait till daylight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Not here just yet (Should add that I'm currently living in Shropshire, 6 miles north of Shrewsbury...) Think it's forecast to arrive overnight, and I am not wanting it to come, as otherwise I feel the drive to my placement will be fun...erm, if not quite dangerous.

Valkyrie Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Ours started around 4.30 but it was falling on top of rain and for the most part was slush. Probably went on for about 2 hours but more the ice lumps type and not the pretty flakes. Roads are clear and there's just a light covering everywhere else.

Valkyrie Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Sorry - not a good one but it's pretty much the same. This was at 5pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Woke at 3.30am and there was a sprinkling, no more snow now but it's pretty windy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovychook Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Nothing doing here We had some flurries yesterday afternoon but it had rained so hard earlier in the day that it didn't stick. Bloomin' cold and windy though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Bottom of my road (on a hill) is like a skidpan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 No more over night but heavy snow forecast 10 and 11am. However, pm temps of 5 degrees so it will clearly not hang about! Its the black ice I worry about - esp driving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Nothing much last night, a bit of wet snow. Went to have a shower this morning, I come out and it's really snowing heavily! Chickens are looking horrified! It is still above 0 luckily so melting on the ground. But the roofs of the houses are turning white fast.

Valkyrie Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Yes, it looked like the roads were clear but this morning I can see where the cars have driven through the slush and it's iced up in ridges. Be careful peeps, it doesn't look nice for driving at all unless you are on the main roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 3-4 ins overnight, but we are above 1000ft - just. Lots of foxy footprints in the garden snow, including one on the kitchen door sill - cheeky blighter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Ok, so it was snowing quite heavily by the time i got onto work,but has stopped now and feels a bit warmer. No more sticking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Nothing much here. A few flurries of wet snow that quickly turns into normal rain. I was reading about thundersnow forecast in the north. I dont think I'd like that. ES said it was -16 with windchill where he is and -2 in his little house when he got home.
