Sick of the incessant snow updates

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.

My car utterly covered in the stuff in the East Midlands – may put pay to my planned road ride today.

Icy/slushy snow up on Dartmoor before the masses get there…

Few pictures from the Teign Valley, Devon here… Beautiful start to the day

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!
RM.

Rain here.

Rain here.

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!

Loads of snow here in HX4.

Snow in chesterfield but the roads are clearing quickly.

We have had snow the last few days, got up this morning it’s all gone and it’s 8ish degrees

At garden/street level I think we’ve had one week without snow since mid December.

Thick snow north Sheffield. Most I’ve seen on the garden in years. Means the schools are closed – even for home learning! Not quite sure how that works…

Another four inches of snow in North Yorkshire this morning and still coming down. This is the third time this year and the roads are in exactly the same condition every time, very definition of insanity.

There’s a great corner where you can watch cars slowly slide down the hill and bounce expensively off the solid stone wall at the bottom.

A good 6″ here in north west Leeds, and I can’t see Baildon Moor because it’s snowing so much!

It’s blowing around, but not settling (unless you’re running directly into it, and it settles on your hat…

at last its arrived in the east of the M25. Not settling much but still going..Hoping for a snow day tomorrow

Down here in Kent, we get as much snow as you northerners get summer (1 or 2 days a year), we don’t have mountains or even big hills, and now we can’t even have our own snow thread 😭😭😭

Snowflake

😜

Rained most of yesterday in Sheffield but turned to snow late afternoon and 4” or so in a couple of hours. Dry and cold today but more to follow tomorrow hopefully.

Same here. I’m in Huddersfield / Kirklees, and I’m fed up of constant snow updates. I don’t actually see the point. All we need to know is when it is going to clear up. Having ‘who has the biggest layer of snow’ competitions is boring and has no novelty appeal when it happens every year.

It’s been every week since Xmas, I think it’s something to do with it being winter and that West Yorkshire is very hilly.

Do you need a hug? I’m just the other side of the M62. 🤗😘

Just a frosting here on the edge of Edinburgh, but enough to make me want to go for a ride tomorrow.

Bloody oodles of the stuff here and more falling. In fact I had to drag my bin through it just a couple of minutes ago. We’ve had snow at street/garden level since Xmas eve.

Look how much fun it is!!

@ian_french – Glad to see you’re getting into the spirit of the OP 😁.

We’ve currently got an amber weather warning for our area. Snow consists of a very light covering and roads are all clear. But underwhelming TBH.

Definitely underwhelming here in Baildon

Still looking good around Inverness.

Just a dusting here but on top of some surviving snow from the last falls so it’s pretty random. Some trails very very slippy, some snowdrifts that you can walk over like an elf then you step too hard and fall through to your thighs… Gorgeous still day, blue skies, pretty bloody hard riding though

Nasty swollen hands there @scotroutes

Positively alpine above Hebden Bridge today. Totally unrideable, but that hardly mattered.

– nah, it’s great fun to both get excited about snow and wind up anyone who disagrees, the OP particularly.

This is the snowplough that got stuck on our road on Friday – spent an hour helping to dig him out – that’s a big tractor, those wheels are over 1.5m diameter. If he doesn’t come out each day, we’re stuck as the drifts blow in about a metre deep across the road. I have to dig the wheelie bins out in the morning as they get covered. I managed to step across a 5ft high 5-bar gate today to walk into a field. -15C forecast for later in the week which means this lots not melting in a hurry.

Even if I could get my fat bike out of storage, it would be pretty useless as we’ve simply got too much snow!

It’s not as deep as I expected this morning – perhaps only a couple of inches.

Surely others have more, unless this is press panic again…. 🤔

I was thinking of you @dovebiker whilst battling my way through some 1.5m drifts on Ben Rinnes with the splitboard, and that plenty folk up the glens will have monster drifts!
-12C when I got in the car this morning 🥶

Seem to have a decent covering here, been quite windy I think as it’s drifted a lot so hard to judge actually cover with out heading out. Hopefully get out on the skis again.

About another 6 inches yesterday evening and overnight in Angus; like Scotroutes, we’ve had frozen ground and/or snow since before Hogmanay. Very light, cold, fluffy powder snow. Heading out for a wee ski shortly, go and find a forest to do turns in..

Bugger all here in S Oxon, hardly a dusting. Windy in the night but even that has died down. Dried out Froze the mud so I’ll wander out for a walk later.

A pretty decent covering at the edge of Glasgow.

A wee spot of sledging at lunch time is in order.
