Yesterday's snow had all melted by the evening, except for a bit on the roofs.
According to the Met Office it should be snowing heavily here right now. No sign of it though. Sometimes they get the timing wrong so might still happen later.
Supposed to warm up a lot again by Wednesday.

Only one more week of Jan to go thankfully. As usual it seems to have gone on forever. Christmas seems like a distant memory and it was only four weeks ago.

I haven't felt that at all... Just the same as any other month really, as I enjoy every month or season for what it brings, and don't like wishing my life awayOriginally Posted by Macca
And anyway........
IT'S SNOWING!!!!!!!
And PROPERLY, this time, too!!
Del nearly fell over the cats this morning running outside to watch all the snowflakes falling, and it's defo snowball fighting weather, which we'll be doing later (as she loves that), especially if I let her win!
And if it continues to fall like this, and the temps stay around zero, then we'll be snowed in, as I ain't taking the Brabster out in this!

It's been snowing heavily for two hours now and is settling. When the temp drops overnight, it will be carnage out there as the County Council have stopped gritting the roads. This is why we have an AWD vehicle.

I’m not sure you’d even have the option! Ursula’s old C220 was absolutely hopeless in the snow - the damn thing would just sit there spinning its wheels with the merest dusting of the white stuff. Definitely the worst ‘snow car’ either of us have ever encountered!And if it continues to fall like this, and the temps stay around zero, then we'll be snowed in, as I ain't taking the Brabster out in this!

Our snow has pretty much gone now and turned to slush. Could be interesting in the morning if it freezes tonight...
