Earliest widespread snow fall in 12 years

They always have a statistic don't they, what a daft statistic ... It's the first time I had a cup of tea before 8.45 in the morning this morning for nearly 8 months ... Daft stats, you gotta love em... Anyway, how is everyone coping with this terrible weather (it's not snowing here, just a bit chilli!

It's bleepin' freezing here, low 50s F

But that's because you get nice bush fires to keep you warm!

At the moment I'm in the UK and, although cold, all is OK in the SE but as soon as we get a millimetre or so all will cease to function. Next week I'll be in Vienna (cold and snowy) but after that it will be back to Berlin (-10°C this morning, with snow to come). Funnily enough though, everything keeps working there!!

Woke up to about 2 inches of snow this morning and it's been snowing on and off all day, not the best working weather for a binman.

 

[Laurie Parker]

Nothing here as yet in S.Wales, but thermometer is reading -5 outside this morning so even to cold for snow lol

This is what has dropped so far but more is forecast over the weekend and Sunday is expected to be the heaviest snow fall of the current cold spell .

Here's a couple of grabbed shots of the snow today in the garden.

Gives you some idea how much has dropped.

Virtually nothing here in the West Mids. Drove to Bath FOR THE DAY on Saturday with absolutely no problem.

Mind you, earlier in the week my car door lock froze open - I couldn't go anywhere like that. So I had a long extension lead and a hairdryer on it, until it released.

Glen - that's very impressive!

How long has East Durham been north of the Arctic Circle again?

 

[Hamish Gill]

Couldn't get the car out of the drive this morning so my mate had to take us in his 4x4 and we got sent home for the second day in a row.
Much too dangerous to try and drive refuse vehicles on untreated back streets and it doesn't look any better for the rest of the week!!!
