Are you lot snowed in? Cold and frosty in Essex but no white stuff yet 8-)

by **Oor Willie** » 27 Nov 2010, 11:05

about 2 inches of snow in East Kilbride last night in the space of an hour but the sun is shinning now, I was down in Newcastle on Thursday and it's much worse down there

We've had snow overnight in Yorkshire and the car is still covered so I'm soo glad I don't have to drive to work today

Can't believe it's still 22 degrees in Symi 8-)

Like Gemma we awoke to a light covering this morning. Just enough to look pretty in the sun without causing disruption - YET!

No snow here yet but, with the exception of last year, we don't get much near the coast. It's cooooold though...

In the "real" North we're almost snowed in.

20 cm or more is covering Copenhagen as I type this and the snow is still falling from the sky..

Looks very pretty, but it is very cold!

At least you will be able to cope. Down here everything grinds to a halt unless you skid.

And it's still 24 degrees on Symi. Good weather for replacing Pacho's canopy by the look of it!

I would much rather be in Pachos right now than in the freezing north and it's minus 4 degrees as I write this. Still, mustn't grumble Copenhagen is far worse than us by the sounds of it 8-)

Just got back home from Xmas shopping in Glasgow thermometer in the car was showing -10 C as we pulled into our car park at home and the forecast for tomorrow is heavy snow showers, Oh to be in Symi now that winter's here

We woke up to a thick covering of snow here in South Yorkshire!
As usual the traffic chaos, I'm glad I'm not working today too. Its been very cold all day.

Here in Somerset, we don't usually get much snow but woke to a thin covering this morning. Very pretty, but pavements are treacherous. Lucky I didn't have to go out today.

Here in n.e. Scotland - small villages cut off - no-one venturing out unless they have to and snow everywhere - even by me only metres from the sea!!! The sea is angry looking and the waves magnificent starting well out from the coast and today is -3oC. Thank goodness for my log burner!!!!! :cry:

Bit higher up than Sunshine, 12 - 14 inches [ 35 centimetres ]in back garden.
Been cleared every day at front, just for the exercise, in case we need the car out.
