Hi there and welcome - not sure which part of the country you're referring to there, but I honestly can't see the depths we have in Scotland being wiped-out by a few slightly milder days Slush and the reformation of ice overnight also tend to make just as dangerous here.

Also, did you notice this thread about suggesting a false dawn weatherwise?

Anyways - here's hoping you're correct :)

I'm totally happy with that, if it will get rid of all the horrible ice here.

Suppose so Tom. It's quite ironic how everyone looks forward to snow with the onset of winter, then as soon as it arrives we all suddenly remember what a pain in the arse it is.

Memories like goldfish!

As Claymores said up there ^^, it's going to take more than a few days of mild weather to clear what we have here. Never seen anything like it!

It does seem too far away. I'm sick to the back teeth of snow. Would be happy to never see another flake!

Oh hello everyone btw.:xyxwave:

It will not be extremely mild, temps will be back to average or slightly below for the North. Most of the snow will still remain by Saturday.

A gradual thaw is coming
:nono:

Same here!

To be honest I don' think I would mind so much if we had just had a long hot summer but it doesn't really seem that long since last years snow and then a very short, wet summer! :(

The bbc weather site would make no judgement on temperature (ie mild or cold) and would make no judgement on snow thaw.

so you did not

Yeah I know.

The bloody tractors keep coming round here making everything worse...piling the snow into mountains in the middle of the roads, and leaving the ice there...surely its better trying to drive on snow than on ice D:

It was quite funny yesterday though...they came round piling the snow up again. The neighbour had spent about half an hour digging his car out. The tractors then deposited the snow right behind his car :laugh: He was fuming and I stood laughing, dont like him anyways :p

Like him or not, I think I'd have laughed too. Saw it happen years ago now though, one of those 'not funny, but very funny' situations!!

so you did not

Well of course they tell you what temperature its going to be.

If its above freezing it thaws (not too difficult to understand is it?):xyxwave:

And the warmer it is, the quicker it thaws.

Jobsfortheboys: - you took a bit of flack on this thread, but I have to say.... you've been spot on to a certain degree.

Although the huge piles of snow are still around,..... it's slowly getting back to green trees, and snow on roads gradually dispersing and quickly.... one more day will make all the difference I'm hoping.

we had heavy snow on the south coast finally. Very thick and the pavements thick with ice and slush 2 days later. Thought it would be like that for weeks.

But then.....it rained overnight and the next morning it was all cleared up completely! Just all vanished.

So yeah, rain does the trick.
