Sick of the incessant snow updates

Snowmagedon here this morning 🙂

Well a good 5 cm anyway and blowing a hoolie. Better get a few more bales out to the poor sheep.

Windy and snowing in Helsinki last night, calm this morning.

Arf! my colleagues have been told to work from home today 😆
I cycled in and missed the message. 😕

Falling where, but won’t settle.

Anything in High Wycombe?

Only 2cm for me in Fife this morning.
Cold though, so it may stick around into tomorrow 🙁

Any snow that isn’t on grass has turned to ice. Very bloody slippy ice at that.
My ice tyres would have been better than my Fatty today.

Light dusting barely covering the grass here in Stourbridge, clouds are nice and pink but flying over too quickly

I have had to scrape the car windows, the snow came, went, left nothing but abject misery and dispare.
😆

But what is all this commotion about storm surges and hurricane winds on the East Coast ?? Watching the news would have you believe the end of days is imminent..

Snow in Cambridge!!!

No, wait, it’s stopped.

Hang on, just saw _another_ flake fall. Yay! SNOW IN CAMBRIDGE!!!!

Hang on, it’s stopped again. As you were.

Dumped fast and heavy in Haselmere and down to Liphook last night.
Didn’t stick around though south of the tunnel.
About 2cm frozen solid everywhere this morning.

We were laughing at the BBC news people, out in big coats showing ‘snowmageddon’ with appropriate wordage of doom…and in the background you could see the grass through the snow. The only clips of *real* snow were Drumochter and Blair Atholl roads….

I must have had a hundred met office weather alerts for snow or ice in the new forest and forest this week. Nothing. Not even that icy.

No snow here and blue sky 🙂

Severnside….but then I’m almost just below sealevel.

They should have me on commission for those reports.

BBC Forecast said it was all done so I rode the 20 miles into work.

They lied.

They should have me on commission for those reports.

They bloody should…

“*And now, we go live to an upstairs bedroom in Aviemore, where Colin will show us the view….”

“*And now, we go live to an upstairs bedroom in Aviemore, where Colin will show us the view….”

This wins the prize for most disturbing sentence of the week.

“Colin, we can see your reflection in the window”

Or in your case

“Colin, can we see your reflection in the window”?

Heading to Braemar later today – not looking good!

Taps aff weather.

A few cm in Saltburn, sadly it’s melting away rapidly so spoiling my planned handbrake turn session.

I don’t need to see any reflection *Zooms telephoto lens in

well I’ve had a great morning 😐 coming down a small hill, bout 5mph, qeueing traffic, snow falling and snow on the ground, applied the brakes gently, the car didn’t stop and slow motion wallop into the fabia in front. My car is a 6 month old Octavia lease car, now with a smashed in headlight, wing, bumper and bonnet. Nice one. Fortunately the excess is just £150 and insurers are Aviva who are usually fantastic. No doubt I will fell the pinch around renewal. It’s my birthday weekend as well. 😐 oh well, Happy Birthday.

Desperate to get out for a snowy ride – but my pump has gone awol!!! 😳

Booooo! Bad luck Jekkyl, you won’t be on your own today, saw a lot of blue lights this morning, and a fair few cars blocking side roads.

Hopefully they’ll be gently on you, I pranged our lease car last summer just after renewal, it’s hard holding my breath for 11 months.

Seems Aviemore is the only place with snow.

I watched the news last night. They just said there was some snow and there might be flooding. Nothing apocalyptic.

It’s almost as if people exaggerate the news reports in their own heads, just so they can tear these imagined exaggerations down for their own satistfaction. Odd.

thanks Prawny, did you do your normal 20 cycle commute this morning & how was it?

edit: just saw your pics above. You cycled in? braver man than me.

Bit disappointing in East Yorkshire this morning.
I’ve been promised minimum 10cm by the media all week, all we got was about 1cm.

Still made for an interesting drive to work on the back roads! 😯
Probably all gone from the roads by now though.

I watched the news reports last night and they were talking of huge floods, heavy snow storms but as usual nothing happened.

Bit disappointing in Surrey – only got 2 inches. All frozen this morning so not pleasant to get about, walked son to school holding his hand as a struggle to stay upright. Only a few kids seem to have turned up – including the kids from a family we pass on the way over who were playing in the garden rather than going in.

Brighton here. It’s snow good. 🙁

Stupider rather than braver I’d say. I was banking on it turning to rain or stopping based on the Beeb’s forecast but it didn’t and there’s no bail outs on my route.

I did think about tapping on the window of a couple of vans and asking if they’d got room, but didn’t fancy my chances.

Seems Aviemore is the only place with snow.

As does Dunblane, and a dusting at Stirling Uni, but we just don’t shout about it like some… 😉

A dusting isn’t snow. 😀

Falling where, but won’t settle.

All I can say Jamie, is Pot, meet Kettle….
