Snowing in Nottingham as well now, I'll be very surprised if it sticks though.

I will admit I do love going for a drive in the snow

I like driving when its snowing at night- it's like flying in Star Wars hyperspace

About four inches in my part of Harrogate again – we got nine inches last week so let's see if that record is beaten. At the moment it is coming down quite hard so I think it could be close.

And the roads were a nightmare this morning - 2WD cars getting stuck on flat bits of road even!

Traffic chaos in Sheffield. The view from my office is hilarious and alarming in equal measure. Already seen a few shunts.

Roads were chaos yesterday, Got the van stuck on the way to work so left it and had a snow day 🙂 Had another today because who wants to start a new job on a Friday?

Better to walk in than ride in TBH, beautiful stuff but sod all grip.

@Elshalimo Yeah Scholes Lane, one of my usual routes. Gave up trying to get to trig point as it was hard going on the moor, plus getting very wet! Today was a better riding day TBH

Lovely ride round Oakwell hall last night in the snow - no one about - Managed a good 90 minutes doing repeats of blue before the paranoia of werewolves got to me - I mean where are you going to find a silver bullet in oakwell at 6.30 on a friday night....

Was gorgeous last night (sneaked out with the RC car for some Epic Skidz). Today, all is slush. Looks lovely but bloody ridiculously hard work on the bike. Hoping tonight's forecast is right and we get a proper massive dump but the temps are a wee bit high

Weird weather. Been hammering down with rain here for about 2 days non-stop, just looked out of the window a couple of hours after walking home in the rain, now everywhere is white!

Aye very weird weather in Newcastle too. Was peeing doon with rain a few hours ago when I walked home from picking the bairn up and now it’s like a winter wonderland oot there! Meant to get heavier in the wee hours too. I LOVE snow me. Can’t get anything done when it’s snowing!

Slight dusting here enough to bring the south to a halt.

Snowed loads overnight here in Macclesfield but it’s pretty thin on the ground now. Wish it would snow properly and stick. The best thing about driving when heavy snow is coming down is putting your full beam on and accelerating so it feels like you’re piloting a ship through hyperspace. I love snow

No as much as I was expecting here this morning, though on top of yesterday's it does mean there's a fair whack now. Had hoped to get another quick ski in before work this morning, but with the wind it would have been a bit grim in low visibility! Fingers crossed for clearer conditions in the morning.

@himupstairs - yup, just been for a very quick ski up in the more southern Pentlands and there's some hefty slab developed. I think with the wet weather and warm temperatures beforehand the underneath of the snow pack hasn't really bonded/has melted upwards a bit.

Definitely best to pick your lines - as always!

I guess this thread will be a hot topic today! Fair bit on herefordshire/Worcestershire border this morning and still coming down hard.
Might take a pic when I can be bothered to get up!

Woken up by a single clap of what may well have been thundersnow at ~0630 in Southampton, but we've since has some rain that melted the thin layer of snow, reckon it's got good potential for Bambi on ice out there now.

No snow here yet just north of Derby. Had a light covering yesterday morning that went mid afternoon.

Last night was Derbyshire Scouts Chilly Camp. Hoping the frost goes off his tent so we can take it down today, but may well snow before then if the forecast is right.

3-4" in an hour here in sunny Surrey. Nearly didnt make it back from taking my mum for her vaccine. Had to get a push at one point. Rear wheel drive BMW is terrible in the snow!

Couple of inches round Didcot area but not sticky or crisp. I'll try the road bike later to Tesco but happy to give up after the first 5 yards if it is crap. No MTB up here otherwise I'd be across the fields.

Couple of inches here in North Wilts overnight, already starting to melt this afternoon.
Still enough lying around to make the outlying villages and countryside look picturesque.

The landscape shots are looking down the valley towards Box and Bath, the church is in Biddestone.

Finally snowed in Cardiff, first time in a good few years. Walk with the kids this morning and managed a ride at dusk. Still a few bits of hardpack snow on the roads and trails - the best surface for riding over 🙂

In our little corner of West Yorkshire we’ve got the 3rd heavy morning of snow this winter - all 3 have been the heaviest I remember it been in a good few years!

Snow here - running latest version of Chrome. 🙂

First proper winter for years, I did more than 300 miles off road last January, not so good this year!
