Looks rubbish Scotroutes.
No gritters.
😐
Half an hour turned into a dodgy 55 minute extended slither.
Heavy in Rochdale now.
Cold here on the Sarf Coast and was drizzling, it's now clearing and it looks slippery as wet teflon out there.
Looks rubbish Scotroutes
SR earlier in the week: I'm planning a BAM Friday night.
Me: what's the snow forecast.... (we had yellow warning from the metoffice for up here).
Just as well I was busy this am 😀
Must admit I'm beginning to question the logic of living 3 miles off a 'main' road with singletrack access in the Scottish highlands! Not too much accumulating at present but it's white outside (and passed a car that had skidded into a ditch yesterday am).
I best be getting that new winter B+ rubber on to them wheels.
What can I say? I'm weak and the offer of a post-ride birthday pint or two was too much.Just as well I was busy this am
Now looking like Sunday night I think. Browsing VeloViewer for possible routes/locations.
Flake news.
I'd give you a free pass SR based purely on the snow and cold personally.
Except of course, it's the 25th... tick tock! I'm not rushing to offer to go out tonight instead neither... walking back to the car (down from the castle and over the bridge was decidedly skitey last night).
Suppose you could always build an igloo 😆

3 days of snow forecast here in Staffordshire. What a big pile of white shit. We have Christmas Ball tomorrow night which will end being very expensive if it gets cancelled.
Started in Burnley about an hour ago, pretty heavy, seems to be sticking.
🙂
Bit in chesterfield and sticking to cars and house roofs.
Snowing here in San Antonio.
White over in Belper. Looks like Buxton area has plenty. Eyes to Sunday now which seems a certainty for heavy snow. Crane on site Wednesday, which I really really need to happen....
Looking outside for the promised 6 inches and feeling the kind of disappoint a lot of women have felt.
Covering in Yeadon
Big flakes falling here in Stourbridge
Yey!
(Guaranteed plenty of snow this winter as took winter tyres off my car a couple of months ago)
Cold and windy in Eastbourne. Booo
Nothing here. 🙁
Good inch in Chesterfield this morning and was snowing heavily when I left the house at 6:30am, bugger all in Sheffield city.
This is one of the major disappointments with living on the SE coast. Humph. On the IOW ferry and they could do with turning the bloody heating up too.
Thin covering in Skipton, which means plenty in the Dales normally. And it isn't going anywhere at this temperature.
We have a light smattering, like the top of a cake. Rather disappointing
Anyone in the Cardiff disappointed this morning - sorry, it's my fault. Swapped the tyres over last night.
dunno about snow in aberdeen but judging by the number of crashes reported on local news there must be at least a 1/8th of an inch.
GET IN !
It's actually happening - in Hampshire. Winter, Christmas, SNOWWWWWW !
Oh, hang on, that's not a blizzard-bearing cloud at all; just some steam 😳

8-10cm on the car this morning.
And it's snowing still.
Fatbike at the ready....
Lucky man Colin.
It's currently 29degrees at my second home 😉
The area where I use my turbo trainer Even directly under an air conditioning unit reading 17 ......is still 24degrees
Epic sun in Edinburgh. Working out how I can get out for a ride at 3pm !
Stopped about 5 minutes after posting last night.
🙂
However, frozen solid.
Two cars lost it on the half mile hill down to Towneley Park this morning and ended up on the golf course.
Cycling abandoned for the day, off to buy a Christmas tree, back in work tomorrow so it had better warm up a bit before then.....
Good few inches in the top corner of Wales.Can't see Llandegla being open over the weekend.
Several cms here in the Beacons. Heavy showers, followed by some melting mean it stays pretty constant, about 3 cm on the cars at the house.
Anyone got any reports on Shropshire?
Apparently hoofing it down in Oswestry, and the A5 towards Wrexham is currently a nightmare. Just north of Wrexham though all ok.
My folks were planning to come down tomorrow, but Sunday is forecast is bad and cold... not sure that's wise.
Just been surfing over Bracklesham, no snow, bit chilly but 3ft x off and the Sun is Oooooooot.
Glorious.
Constant flurries near Brechfa. Nothing much settling.
It's a marshmallow world in Aviemore, just heading to Nairn over the dava moor, woo hoo!
Mrs says she wants us to have a quiet night in tonight, I can't decide between the bike or xc skis. There may be trouble ahead.
Come on, snow you bastard!
Loads in N Wales away from the coast. Mountain passes getting close to impassable in a normal car until they plough.
Bit of snow on the Black Isle.
Passed a car in the ditch (again) on my way into work. Definitely a day to take it easy!
30-40mm to scrape off the car before returning home tonight...
Well, a day that promised much ended up as a bit of a disappointment.
Actually, that's a lie. It was ****ing awesome!!

Looks great, if you're genetically adapted to that sort of thing.
Fine layer of hair, extra layer of fat etc.
🙂
Are we ready for snowmaggedon?
Apparantly it might be a bit frosty daaaan saaarf this morning, even though they pay all those taxes.
Await predictions of doom etc....
Bloody freezing down here, cars are covered in frost.. 🙄
All that Tax we pay keeping the rest of the country alive, you’d think we’d get the council to de-frost our cars for wouldn’t you..
Joe Cocker used to come round and clear our drive, might have mentioned it before.
Not seen him in ages.
Hope he's ok.
