Snowing down here in Hove Sussex,
Anybody else getting it yet.

Got it in WI USA a little over a week ago and more on the way tomorrow. Ugh... can't wait for spring already!

Had a couple of showers yesterday in Elgin but it didn't stay as the ground was too wet. The car is white today but only just.

Out of town and in the usual places to get the snow it has arrived Snow Icon_biggrin

Well like lots of people we had loads of snow overnight, inches of the stuff.
Roll on the spring like SithTracy said.
I used to like the snow at Christmas, showing my age now.

well yesterday it started to snow with us - not a huge amount but a good covering - however mid afternoon the temp dropped to 0 degree's and a wind got up - not sure what the wind chill would have been but it was cold enough for all the snow that had been turning to slush to freeze and make most of the roads little a bottle Snow Affraid

Woke up this morning with another good covering but at least most of the ice beneath has gone.

It started snowing again mid-morning and we got a real good covering this time - starting to melt a wee bit though, but the temp has dropped again so it will probably turn to ice again :shock:

We had a few days of it down here guys. Nothing drastic but made the place stand still for a while.

We are wallys arent we ..... Snow Lol

well it didn't turn to ice and we also had another covering overnight......at this rate we might even have a white christmas :D

by **bubbles19** Tue 22 Dec 2009 - 7:58

well no more snow with us but this morning it is -5 and even the heated windscreen was struggling to thaw out :affraid:

The pic below was taken after I had been outside for 10mins lol!

by **bubbles19** Tue 22 Dec 2009 - 20:59

well only another 2 days to go and it's here - maybe even be a white christmas this year, although would be better if i does snow on the 25th rather than just all the previous days worth laying around

Roads are mainly clear here but where they didn't grit it has all turned to ice. Pavements are treacherous so I will have to take extra care when coming back from the pub. Snow 501624

All clear down here now, thanks to the rain.

Just got back from a lunch time spell with my old work mates and I appear to have lost either stamina or the use of my legs. I swear it was not this icy when I went out.
Wishing you all the very best for Christmas and the New Year.

too much beer & scotch Thinking

Well all the snow has now gone and my garden looks bad again. Snow Lol

by **bubbles19** Mon 28 Dec 2009 - 20:42

still got plenty of ice and another shower of snow tonight :D

getting nice and slippy again :shock:

by **bubbles19** Wed 30 Dec 2009 - 9:25

well we had another couple of shower's during the day yesterday with the temp being -3.5 in the morning.

Had another shower in the evening & had to go out to Asda - Temp down to -6 and the back end of the car was going on every round about there & back.

Had another drop overnight so we are still white (temp has now climbed above 0 so the big thaw might be on it's way) but may of the roads & pavements have still not been touched since it all arrived over 10 days ago :shock:

Wouldn't be so bad but the local Authority for Moray are based in our town - In fact the roads depot is about 10mins walk from me help_up_2bigmove

when will it all end?

thought it was going away but woke up this morning to a light covering and between 8am & 130pm we have had about 4" :affraid:

When will all this snow stop?? - That's over 3 weeks now since we last saw the colour of the road outside the house.

One of our guy's from work was down in Elgin 2 days ago then had to go to Aviemore - took him 3 hrs to get there for a usual 1hr trip.

The roads weren't causing him a problem as he has a Legacy estate with snow tyres fitted but it was all the other road users getting stuck in front of him.

Plenty of snow again, looks like I'm a fair weather person now.
Age, it's a bugger. Snow Lol

Snow hammering down here too guys. Madness all round. Was stuck on the M25 for around 12 hours trying to get back from work the other day. Nightmare , though i like wearing big warm coats and thick socks.
