Scottish Amber warning for Weds firmed up just now and a bit grimmer. Saying that places in East can now expect up to 40cm

marc is doomed

[Crimson Dynamo]

Chief Forecaster's assessment

Snow showers will bring variable snow cover, but parts of northeast England and Scotland are expected to see the most frequent and organised snow showers from Wednesday morning to Thursday morning. During this time, 5-10 cm of snow is expected quite widely. Where showers become organised though, most likely across Scotland, areas of 15-25 cm are likely, locally as much as 40 cm. Strong winds will lead to drifting of snow and severe wind chill, while lightning could be an additional hazard, particularly near coasts. This warning has been updated to include a greater part of the Central Belt and increase the impact level based on the latest information.

[Greg!]

Been none in Edinburgh so far but I'm kind of perched for a winter storm

[jaxie]

Cats sat outside for about 10 seconds watching big flakes come down this morning, then their little paws got cold and they came in and hugged the radiators.

[Kazanne]

We've had some flurries , not sticking yet but it's bitterly cold.

[Kazanne]

About the cats Jaxie,can I pick your brains ? I have one that is now 6/7 mths old,I have kept her in until she was chipped and neutered, she is moaning at the door to go out,I let her out yesterday and today and she absolutely loves it, but I am scared to shut the door on her and have to chase her to get her in. Do you think she would go off if I shut the door,I am a but scared of losing her.Sorry LT,LOL back on topic, it's blooming cold.:hee:

[LaLaLand]

Just tiny flurries on and off most afternoon here in North Wales but nothing at all now... Will see what happens as the night goes on.

[Tozzie]

had some flurries this morning and afternoon but not for long each time. So far no snow as yet here in Yorkshire. Urgh I hate snow especially when I have to drive to work, really don't like driving in the snow :-(

What the colours mean

Yellow: Severe weather is possible over the next few days and could affect you. Yellow means that you should plan ahead thinking about possible travel delays, or the disruption of your day to day activities. The Met Office is monitoring the developing weather situation and Yellow means keep an eye on the latest forecast and be aware that the weather may change or worsen, leading to disruption of your plans in the next few days.
Amber: There is an increased likelihood of bad weather affecting you, which could potentially disrupt your plans and possibly cause travel delays, road and rail closures, interruption to power and the potential risk to life and property. Amber means you need to be prepared to change your plans and protect you, your family and community from the impacts of the severe weather based on the forecast from the Met Office
Red: Extreme weather is expected. Red means you should take action now to keep yourself and others safe from the impact of the weather. Widespread damage, travel and power disruption and risk to life is likely. You must avoid dangerous areas and follow the advice of the emergency services and local authorities.

[Three people died following a crash involving a car and a lorry on the A15 at
Baston in Lincolnshire. Police say the road conditions at the time will
form part of their investigation, adding it was snowy at the time.
A man was killed after a three-car collision on the A47 in Cambridgeshire,
while another man suffered "possibly life-threatening" injuries after a van hit
a tractor carrying a livestock trailer on the A30 in Devon.]

I just had to panic buy! Because of panic buyers...

It's not even that bad so far, then I heard that people were emptying the shops, and I was like "lol so dramatic". And then realised... it doesn't MATTER whether or not it's going to be bad conditions - the fact that some people are panic buying, means that the shelves are going to end up ****ing bare. So I had to go an panic buy too! I literally got the last two loaves of bread, last box of eggs and some of the last of the milk. They were having people call ahead asking for milk to be put aside for them :facepalm:.

I have also discovered that people panic buy beans... and crisps. Shelves totally stripped :think:.

[Greg!]

Just been out in a bloody blizzard!!! Was scared for my life girlies. And the worst is yet to come. Red warning later :worry:

[Nicky91]

no snow here in Netherlands, only so so cold weather :( luckily it will get above 6 degrees by the weekend again

[smudgie]

Might not be so much panic buying as just too many people going shopping early and buying a bit extra to save them going out in the weather again for a few days.
I altered my shopping delivery time for a better chance of it getting here, but never altered the actual shopping.

No way that's mental :joker: :shocked:, but if you go out there's barely any transport and it's too risky . Most places have the red warning .

But your glasses can be collected next week ?? no? :conf:.

Ohhh, just had a thought, couldn’t get my insulin yesterday as they only keep small supplies at the pharmacy, supposed to be getting it in today hopefully.
But made me think, what about people stuck in the sticks, needing meds, or midwives etc. The helicopters will be working overtime, providing its blizzard free.

[user104658]

My street is totally blocked now :umm2:... Cars ain't going nowhrr. Seriously glad I'm on holiday from work, I literally wouldn't be able to get there and I can pretty much guarantee my pay would be docked.

It's not mild or really bad either here. It's just annoyingly in the middle.

One of my auntie's rabbits died in the cold last night. They thought a rain cover over their hutch would be enough. :(

Our guinea pigs have a bag of hay, one of those microwaveable heat pads and two rain covers and they're thriving! (Granted I haven't let them out in their run this week because they'd be too exposed)

The cat has been inside since yesterday, he took a very brief look outside but wasn't having any of it, the dogs been out for a couple of walks in it alright but she's been inside other than that

Been snowing here all day, just spent an hour and bit on the drive again - i have a six foot high snow pile now and i cant get to Fife to pick up as the road i use has waist high drifts right across :oh:

Also the TL is in full baking mode as she is off work again

The snow has stopped now but the roads around where I live are extremely slippery. Absolute hell trying to reverse into a parking space.

I got out but its worse than yesterday and snowing like a bastard. Driving on totally wheite roads in corners on hills is not fun. There is a girl stuck in our street at mo so either she cant drive and is spinning in first or her tyres are fecked

The dashcam driver's reaction is great in itself. It goes from "Oh no that bus is going to hit that car!", through "THAT BUS IS GOING TO HIT *MY* CAR!!", to "OMG I survived and I'm going to be sick".

So scary when you lose control of your car in snow...I've been snowed in for two days...but had enough now..

[user104658]

So scary when you lose control of your car in snow...I've been snowed in for two days...but had enough now..Yeah we've been snowed in since Wednesday but caved today and drove down to the nearest town :worry:. The main roads were pretty well cleared tbf, but we almost didn't get back up the driveway when we got home and trying to park at the supermarket was a nightmare. We ended up diagonal across two spaces (not that you could see where the spaces even were) but pretty much everyone was the same.

[user104658]

Also my snow shovel snapped clean in half down the middle so I guess that's us trapped indefinitely now :joker:

[Vanessa]

I went shopping today, the bread was almost gone :joker: Tomorrow i need to get some more electric and gas :fist:

[user104658]

I went shopping today, the bread was almost gone :joker: Tomorrow i need to get some more electric and gas :fist:There was no bread or milk at any of our local supermarkets - though at Morrisons you could queue at the bakery where they were baking loaf after loaf fresh and handing them out [emoji23]. We still have plenty of bread stocked up from my heroic trek of foot on Thursday though.

But I had to but UHT milk for coffee... And SKIMMED as well. Literally all they had. Ugh. It's not too bad as a latte I guess. :(

Really? Wow, some panic buying went on round by you, ridiculous isn't it.
Right now here in West Yorkshire although it is super cold the snow has stopped coming down, just left with icy roads.
I can't wait for the snow to bugger off completely, I hate it, especially when I have to drive in it which really scares me. When it snowed last time I was crawling down a hill really slowly behind a bus, then the bus put his winker on to indicate he was letting someone off so I went to brake (I was quite a distance from the bus) but when I braked the car just kept sliding now, I ended up missing the bus by inches, I was crapping myself, it was awful. I was so relieved to get home. Nope, the snow can do one, it's not welcome to me. Sunshine, now yer talking yeah! Bring on the sunshine.
