The country was predicting that the snow was coming back today. Few hours ago it was just hailing a bit but now big ass snowflakes are dropping and if it wasnt for the ground being so wet im sure it would be sticking badly.
What are your areas like? Are we going to get it proper like a few weeks ago? :wtf:

I believe so, however the forecast for me isn't til friday... Had a brief sleety shower yesterday, but I'm not so sure it will stick... Supposed to be fecking cold tonight so ice... So yeah could stick if it snowed... I hate this weather...
Well according to met check we were due sleet from 12. We've had the rain but no snow.

We had rain this morning....then it turned to big proper fluffy snow flakes, which did not lie as it was too wet.....Now the sun is out and it's blue sky!!
We have to drive over to Newcastle on Saturday so it could be interesting, if we make it and back, we also need to go to Edinburgh on Sunday which could be a different story as i'm sure they still have the last load of snow.
Me thinks the survival bag needs pulling out and filling.:)
Predicted heavy rain today then sleet/snow tonight and heavy snow at the weekend.
[edit] Oh wait, now its changed to light rain today (as yet no rain) then heavy snow in the early hours of tomorrow morning :roll: See my previous thread about BBC LOL
We have had a light dusting earlier on. The same amount the south got the other week. lol

I thought you norfics still had the snow, as your regional reporters keep popping up on the news using it as as excuse as to why the Norf has ceased to function lol
We do :d No fall for about 10 days though, excluding the tiny bit of powdering earlier.
Snow falling right now.
This is some up to date hi-tech sh!t. :)
Blizzard has ceased.
Don't worry. I'll keep you guys in the frame. lol
anyone can do what the weather is atm, we want accurate 90 day forecasts.

Nothing on our side so far, slight flurry yesterday:roll: , was @ -8 deg C last night
We have about 4-5cm as predicted. Been out in the BMW with the winter wheels on and that had no traction which was fun :D Then took out the 306 and that was worse.
I am going to put the other wheels back on the BMW to see if they are any better, the tread looks like it will be much better for snow use. Those run flats look and are terrible, but I am not forking out for snow tyres until these are worn.
We have no snow here. Just some ice and it's blimmin cold.

Dunno. He wailed about falling over and hurting his hand/breaking something. All I got was pouty texts. I think he is ok seeing as when i suggested he goes to the hospital, he said "no, I sleep" lol

Pfft, you call that snow!? lol
Well ive just driven back from London to mine. 40miles took 5 hours lmao

I had to phone work this morning and point out that at my current rate I'd get there around 10pm lol
LOL considernig the pics above I took yesterday and the snow has melted a little (ok so its a bit icy but still).
Just heard on the radio that "Nick in Yeovil is snowed in"... I felt like ringing in and asking why this Nick was such a pussy lol
And this was on a friend's status on Facebook yesterday:
Alex Dale i wrote my car off last night.
Alex Dale straight into concrete. Bam! somehow walked away completely uninjured! the police said they'd seen fatalities for less...
Now, I don't know the guy, but surely if you went "straight into concrete. Bam!" at a speed that would have caused "fatilities for less" then you were clearly going too fast. What a fcuking dobbin.
I got overtook by a newb on a 307 yesterday night, bearing in mind the roads here last night were white over about 2" deep with snow/slush :S about half a mile up the road said newb's 307 was stacked headlong into a hedge.
Would have lent him my phone to call for a recovery, but he was a big black geezer. And where I live big black geezers tend to be not to friendly lol

Had 2 maybe 3 inches friday night/saturday. Still here today. Went to Calne (about half an hour south of Swindon) yesterday morning at about half 8. That was fun!!
Not going out today. Well apart from to the parents later for dinner. Nom.
I had similar, overtook a BMW in the snow on a dual carriageway, judged what was a safe speed for the conditions and pulled back into the clearer side of the road, and he overtakes me at about 55 on the snow... surprised he didn't plow into the queue at traffic lights tbh

Make him a cup of tea then tell him you've got to go to your parents for dinner. Hopefully he'll get the hint and not invite himself with you
