bit of a dusting across dartmoor this morning.
I think i passed that oil lorry about 30s before that photo was taken. more forecast for tonight.
We had some sleet for about 5 mins at lunchtime. 144m up in the Surrey Alps.
Sunny again now. Mmmm.
I feel it's been quite inefficient here... Our road got really iffy last night then just at the point of maximum chaos it stopped and started thawing. Now it's just come properly back on again at the point where most of yesterday's was gone. Get your shit together snow, you're embarassing yourself.
Went for a bit of a lower-level ride today. Tracks in the forests were mostly clear of snow, though with a few "entertaining" icy patches ready to trip me up. Another cold night so no great thaw yet. I'll see what tomorrows weather is like and either head up higher or maybe take my planks for a slide.
It's trying...
Few cm up at Swinhope today. They're planning to start the tows up shortly:

Out for a last-minute overnighter last night. A lot of fresh, wet snow made it hard going.

A lovely dusting at Carron for today's ride. Tomorrow looks rather interesting for North England and Central belt...
Tomorrow looks rather interesting for North England and Central belt…
Gritters out in force in South Lanarkshire this evening..... they must know something the Met Office don’t.. forecast even up high here in EK is no frost and tomorrow a few sleet showers with temperatures properly above freezing.
Snow in Northumberland this morning. Starting falling heavily here just before rush hour. Total chaos ensued.
School bus didn't make it so the eldest is home on a snow day.
Snow day in Cumbria too, I am trying to work but Guitar Hero has been dusted off.
A bit here but been mixed with rain the last hour or so it’s disappearing.
Glentress yesterday.
Upper trails had a good covering, but it wasn't that cold so it rapidly turned to wet sticky slush as you descended
We had around 4 inches in Harrogate (at least where we are which is at the top of the hill). It made for a lovely walk with the dog this morning.
Snowing in SW Surrey. Little flurry after rain. Won't settle.
Not too shabby in the Northern Corries today.

For those that know, the Chalamain Gap was impassable due to a steep bank of icy snow

Looks similar to the last (only) time I went through there on New Years eve 1987 on the way to a wild night in the Lairig Ghru Bothy
Back with a vengeance
And up to Loch Eanaich today

Lovely photo's, very jealous.
The long-lasting high pressure area has resulted in cold nights but warm days and the tops are being gradually stripped. Bollocks that we can't get up there though!!

Same here - the snow patches are retreating and we can't get up there.
So, err, this...
I was just thinking to update this thread - hail and snow showers this afternoon, I've just tried to cover all the veggy seedlings as we're due -2 tonight...
We got a little here on the west of Edinburgh this afternoon. Taking the mick frankly considering how little we got this winter.
Sleet and hail just before 9am today, north west Leeds. The veggie plot is covered up.

The past couple of days have topped up the snows a bit. Still frustrated that we can't get up there.
Snow here at 6am this morning but didn’t last I wonder of Cheviot is white again though.
Nowt up at Swinhope yesterday. Still it's early. There's been years where we've skied in June! Was expecting an 8am refresh on the webcam, but it seems to have dropped to once a day:

The views of Yad Moss suggests there's nothing, but Fendrith Hill has its own bleak climate, so anything's possible.

Well there's no snow today.
HtH.
Patches in and around the Monadliath today, which quite surprised me.
Still some on the Ben.
On the tourist path?
Immediately adjacent
Long range, ahem.

First of the season on the Gorms today. Not surprised. Mate and I were at Corrour and got caught in a couple of hail showers.
Not a surprise, it's felt bitter cold wind around the Trossachs today.
There was a fair coating in Baildon, West Yorks yesterday... well ok it was actually hail
Some snow forecast tonight, north end of the Cairngorms - it's currently 3C and blowing a northerly, so just needs a slight drop and add some moisture in the mix.
And falling at street level this morning. We're expecting more this week.
10cm of snow here in midsweden. unlike the snow we got in october, this is here to stay. Winter is here. Time to put the bike away until April and head out and clear the driveway .
Love the return of this thread. None in the Lakes 😎
I just knew it would be Colin that had posted first this morning 😆
Just a smattering of hail over the cars here in Aberlour.
