Morning Gals, It is so cold here I have me jeans on, ontop of my jamy bottoms. Snowing again now, and forecasted to continue. Tonight the temperature is forecasted to drop to -7 to -10. Have heard the weather man say that in parts of Scotland last night, it was -22.
Take Care all, and try and keep warm

PS. The OH has been unable to move his German tank built chariot off the drive, and besides, he does not want to risk someone going into him. Around here, translates that they are probably not insured. LOL

It`s snowing here again this evening, very cold out there ~ my dogs don`t like it one bit, but then they are not the only ones.

Sleep well everyone, sees u in the morning.

My old man's due to go to hospital tomorrow at 11 am for an operation on his hand - he's been waiting for months. Hospital's 25 mins away, we probably won't be able to drive, the way things are looking outside, and trains probably won't be running. It's sod's law. He's pretty p'd off, but I keep telling him these things happen for a reason. What will be will be.

Clear sky here in North Wales, frosty and a little snow through the day, but stil
Annxl lying from last week!

nite nite all

we are exspecting freezing fog
on top of the snow for the next couple of nights

It's been horrendous here for a week or so. The sand on the beach is covered in snow, we've had spectacular thunder storms over the sea on a nightly basis - which have been magnificent to watch, but crap to be out in - and it's freezing, and snowing, again.

hahaha Sue...bit one-sided these jokes aren't they lol

Currently snowing in Mid Essex, 6 inches plus, already had deep snow.

First real snow falling and settling now in south Dorset.

Funny, that, Mau - the weather forecast said "on the one hand, it could be cold", so I wore one glove ......

Another blizzard here today in Whitley Bay.....had a foot of snow.....
....so I just wore the one welly...boom boom ;o)

Here in South Yorks we have 14" of snow no buses no school. I have a lovely ski suit and am as warm as toast for dog walkies. However, jack russell gets lost in snow and springer gets snowballs on his legs and is weighted down and it makes my gluteal muscles ache. lol.Elaine.

Snow coming down thick and fast near Channel coast....The most we've had so far and it's already building up on the ground.. Earlier the main coastal road was completely clear, but side roads are like sheets of glass.
M20 has Operation Stack where the lorries are held on the motorway while waiting to cross to France.
Seems to be getting worse here by the minute.

I'm very sad to hear that the annual Christmas Market in Lincoln has been cancelled. It brings so much revenue to the local economy with traders from across Europe and the local shops and hotels gaining.

There are even steam train excursions from north and London. There will be nothing for the trippers to see, if the trains can still run.

I suppose it is sensible to cancel the event as Lincoln isn't a place to be with icy roads, but what a loss to the locals.

Hi Julia,townies,thats who,they have no more sense than they were born with.

Even my cats have the sense to stay in,as long as muggins keeps cleaning their litter tray.

Annina, I hear the Derbyshire Mountain Rescue team are on alert. What stupid people would go out hill walking in this lot, endangering not only their own lives but those of the rescuers.
Take Care

Nearly three ft deep and horizontal blizzard falling out of the east.

What fun we have! There are still idiots trying to drive through it,getting stuck and causing even more chaos.

Come and live in sunny Sheffield.

I bet they,re having great fun on lower green sledging.and getting a warmer in the Mitre. **M**.

Wolverhampton. Had a little more covering overnight, roads were clear and the sky clear early this morning. During the morning, we have had a steady flurry throughout but seems to have held off now although the sky is white so more on the way, I expect. Have been told not far away in Stafford they have about one foot deep and still falling and that it is very slippy. If you have to drive, take care and pack a hot flask and warm coat should you get held up with cars being abandoned!
