It is quite annoying how the media seem to have co-opted the weather so it's now a media event rather than just the weather.

Rubbish slush in Bristol. Thawing for a bit. And then re-freezing - usually at night. This seems to be something of a pattern, as far as I can tell.

Will update as necessary.

To the OP, I really hope this thread has helped.

To take your mind off the issue, how about a song?

Just on case patriotpro is missing his updates, we had ~4" in Malvern on Friday and about another 1/2" today to top it up (though obviously what we had has settled a bit, so we don't now have 4 1/2"). All blown off the tops a bit, but good skiing conditions on the commons and golf course. Optimal grip wax for XC skiing is blue extra.

Time to get priorities in order and purchase sledge....

Side streets in Coventry are quite slippery after a lot of snow fell yesterday (a lot in a central England sense, not like when I were a lad up on rural Scotland) and have not been cleared, main roads are fine, but I still managed to drive all the way to the office in rural Bedfordshire (roads here are quite bad but no issue if sensible) and it was only about 15mins longer than normal.

However it seems it's all too much in Coventry and most of the schools are closed, including my lads!!!

Lots of snow overnight in the Hope Valley, schools closed, I have closed the office so a lunchtime snowboarding session looks possible.

chaos this morning

watching folk car sledging down a hill with the wheels locked clipping a wall to make the corner - like lemmings the next one did the same.

till an audi got its self wedged at 90 degrees between 2 walls with about 3 inches at either end and no hope of getting out without damage.

then the rest of the cars trying to do 3 point turns and getting stuck in the drifts at the side of the road.

turned about and took a road that the traffic announcements said was 4x4 only -in my RWD. was one of the best conditioned roads id been on all morning !

There were a couple of cms of snow here yesterday - fine powder, but the roads were pretty clear this morning. My night heater ( aka PonceWarmer ) was working fine this morning and the car was warm and defrosted as I climbed into it.

It is a bit foggy now.

Snowing all morning in Edinburgh but actually less lying on the ground now than there was when I was out first thing. Poor effort.

Went to Clent Hills today. Incredible skiing conditions - it would have been easy to imagine I was in Norway (to be honest the snow was better than what I've sometimes had in Norway). Definitely better snow there than in Malvern.

No snow again. Looks like the weekend's dumping will slowly compact and turn to ice.

Boom! It hit here today. Knee deep around work site. Proper good snowball fight with the guys today. And my staff decided to climb on the roof, wait for me to exit the building and off-load the contents of the roof with well timed accuracy on my head. I was floored. I think I came close to feeling what it is like in an avalanche... 😆

It's been snowing sporadically here in Bristol - sometimes large flakes, sometimes small, sometimes mixed with rain, sometimes not.

Interestingly, every flake appears to be different in appearance - as if each one is unique.

Thanks rocketman - I've always suspected it might be the case, but it's nice to have confirmation.

Disappointingly,

we've still not been snowed-in (2cm last week not really enough),
the army haven't been out on the streets,
nor indeed have we suffered any sort of [b]-20°C ARCTIC BLAST!![/b].

More importantly, the Princess Diana conspiracy has still not been admitted.

I demand a refund from the Daily Express!

Been away working all week. There was snow when I left. It is still here. Snowman has reduced in size by about 20% in the four days - I will take a more accurate measurement after lunch.

Thanks to all contributors on this thread. Once again shows what an excellent public service function STW provides to communities in difficulty all over [s]the country[/s] Hebden Bridge.

How's the M4 corridor looking? If it's bad I may have to leave early. More concerned about bad visibility than snow on the roads.
