Default And So it Begins

The great winter freeze, the worst for 10 years, that we have all been waiting for since last week!!!

Looks like it is creeping down. This was taken out of my windowa few minutes ago.

We always seem to miss out on the snow in this neck of the woods. The rest of the country can be snowed under, but not us. I love the snow so am still keeping my fingers crossed.

(Still got everything crossed for you Lee as well)

We've had no snow here as of yet, but just before it went dark the sky went that funny colour that 'looks like snow' as my mother used to say, so I reckon I stand a pretty good chance of waking up tomorrow to a world of white.

It's snowing at the moment here. Woke up this morning to quite a covering of the white stuff. It was a slow walk to work for me this morning.

We had snow overnight, and then just as it was about to melt, we had a snowstorm for 2 hours in the afternoon - during which time I elected to go and do a food shop, and buy my required number of tins of soup.

10 minutes after I got back from the supermarket, it stopped snowing. C'est la vie!!

Glad to hear there is snow in Surrey LEE!

Plenty of white stuff up here!

Not a great deal lying, probably only 2-3 inches, but it's causing havoc when the wind gets up and causes blizzard conditions.

Had a flurry around teatime, but no more so far . . . . . . . . . . . it is VERY cold, though!

I don't know about the rest of the country but we still have a bit of snow but it is melting rapidly due to blazing sun, only wish the sun was making it feel really warm!

There's quite a bit left here but it is starting to melt. Loads of it fell very noisily off my roof about an hour ago and I wondered what on earth it was, I thouht something serious had happened.

I've never seen snow with thunder and lightening before either. Very weird.

It snowed a bit here yesterday but it didn't last too long. I live quite near the sea and it hardly ever snows here.

Although I can look across to Arran and see snow-covered mountains most cold days in the winter.

Too many baked beans, Amy?

No snow up beside me just now - blue skies at the moment - but apparently it's quite bad above Aberdeen. VERY cold, though!
