I put in the -30 screenwash, winter tyres and got snowchains cos you never know 🙂
If you're in Northern Scotland, you might need lube, not screen wash 🙂
Looks like a ....
Heavy snow closes our office so I'm hoping this isn't a disappointment...
Ice tyres (wheels) swapped in for the commute. Only two days in the office this week as the other days are booked off.
Forecast now saying significant snow (South Manchester) but we often avoid the worst this side of t'hill.
No cycling planned for my days off as I'm doing stuff. Walking between train, pub, hotel, restaurant and a 'musical' in the snow might be nice.
WFH so no major impact for me, other than popping on a thicker jumper/fleece. Just south of Sheffield and expecting it to be a bit of a washout TBH with just some slush. Used to like cycling to work in the snow as it was a bit different, plus people at work I was mad. But way better than being stuck in the car.
Our snow has been confiscated by the government and replaced with 3 boring beautiful crisp cold sunny days 🙁
Snowing in Macclesfield. Time to hibernate.
Guess what?
Here in East Lancashire, it's snowing. Not heavily but massive flakes.
First hints of sleety light snow here (S. Manc / northern edge of Peak District).
I predict that, by tomorrow morning, we'll have about 1/2 a cm of slushy shite and the entire transport system will have ground to a halt.
My feet are freezing now but no snow.
timely reminder
North of Inverness it's bloody cold. Snow on the hills, flattering cover I'm sure but the wind from the NW is super chilled and cruel. Minus 2 in the garden all day, everything solid already
Just had snow in the last hour, it's even settled on the cars. Just off the Wirral towards Chester!
2 brand new sledges locked and loaded.
Sounds great but could go downhill quickly.
Snowing in Leeds. Well, I say snowing. Something is falling out of the sky that isn't rain, but it's not settling.
Edit: just been outside with the dog and it is settling a bit on the trampoline.

I bought them in June, swearing that I would never be caught unprepared on another snow day.
My time is coming.

Yep, absolutely beautiful and very cold here in Auchterarder (midway between Stirling and Perth). Was just thinking that if the forecast holds true it could be one of the longest spells of good (ignoring the thermometer) weather we've had this year! ?
Drove from Fort William to Aberdeen snow/ slushy roads between Dufftown and Inverurie.
Lots of snow falling in HX4
DE7 - Fine sleety snow being driven in the wind, beginning to settle per the Leeds pic up there

Eh! Where? Looking out of the window and it is just wet.
Coming down in HX2. Train to London in the morning and I’m not confident Grand Central will get out of Bradford.
I love how people go "yeah, there's a blizzard in QN3" as though their postcode means absolutely anything to anyone not inside it, and if they are in it then they won't need a weather update anyway because they can just look out of the window.
I see it all the time on social medial sales posts, "free collection from ZZ9" well throw me a ****ing bone here.

On the Rainow road. Settling on cars.
A good 1/3mm of white stuff in SY10, it’s bee hammering it down for the last couple of hours or so, by morning we might have half a centimetre !

You're going to be stuck. Grand Central service is crap on it's best days I like that the first train of the day is rarely clean, WiFi usually doesn't work and staff are missing. And the water boiler is broke so no hot drinks. The heating often fails on winter too.
When they kept cancelling services because a train had a broken windscreen the twitter responses were hilarious. They're an awful company.
White over here in Stourbridge and still coming down
Wanging it with snow in Leamington.
Yep, in not shocking news, the train is cancelled. Refunded and hopping on a rattler to Leeds, then LNER down.
Any updates from Manchester? MrsMC is heading there for work, but the hire car company gave her a 4x4 with snow mode, which might be handy. Meanwhile, here in the Ilson Alps:
Any updates from Manchester?
Nothing. A light dusting on my car and the bin lids, but the roads are just wet.

This. Very disappointing.
Milton Keynes is surprisingly snowy
Still falling, though I expect it will turn to rain
A good 2-3” this morning and melting fast ! (SY10) just under 700ft
South Sheffield, 50-60mm. The Mrs has got to drive to Stoke today, she's not looking forward to it!
Nothing forecasted here in South Herefordshire, but woke up to a sprinkling. Enough for our 9 month old retriever to have her first roll in the 'snow' this morning. Looks like it's melting already- just "fat rain" falling from the skies now.
Proper snow in the City of London.
With 30 odd years up here, I can count on one hand the amount of times that's happened.
Several inches when we went to bed, looks like it stopped and started to thaw at some point in the night.
New picture window in the bedroom extension pays for itself on day 1
