About 1" of snow fell last night, most of it seems to have survived the day, doubt any more will fall tonight round here though, could be wrong, just like any weatherperson's predictions, it might or it might not, either way it's correct... :-rofl2

Simples wet your forefinger in your mouth, point forefinger up to the sky above shoulder height to get the wind direction:D

Had a couple of mm of snow here late afternoon, cleared now and clear skies, that's probably it for the winter. ;)

The book of faces suggests that everyone around me has snow.... Except me. Even 2 miles down the road has snow. But we are at a slightly lower elevation here that the vicinity.

I was in Crowthorne a couple of hours ago, it was grim.











Then again it was grim in the summer.

The prediction here was spot on couldn't believe it. 2cms snow turning to rain in the night so all my snow clearing was a waste of time as this morning it's all gone. Today they predict rain this morning (it is ) turning to snow about 3cms but the wind is predicted 35km.

Might be some snow here tonight, but, we'll see, could be a light flurry, could be a snow storm, could be nothing, I really should get a job as a weather forecaster... :-rofl2

Supposed to be the possibility of snow here, tonight, and tomorrow, but at the moment just more rain.

Just been clearing the car and driveway: 6cm of snow, but it's already thawing fast and even raining a little. Fairly mild, so should disappear within the day.




Edit: Spoke too soon - snowing again.

The snow from this morning had all melted away, but Good News (and nothing to do with the Dacia Sandero), it's snowing again right now... :D
