There’s a small pile of snow on my car. Everything else has been washed away by the rain.
It snowed here as well but melted as soon as the rain came in the early morning, so you’re not missing out OP!
Just stopped raining in Cambridge.
Same. Got up to put toddler back to bed at 1am and spotted a light sprinkle over everything through the landing window. Woke up this morning to a soggy, melted mess.
Rural Cumbria here, looks lovely out there with the gently falling snow but the roads are sheet ice, so thats my excuse for not getting dressed today.
Haven’t had any down here on the South Coast. Rarely do. Drives me mad seeing all the photos from those mere miles away from me.
Old Simpsons was the best.
We got prepared for some heavy snow and ice (took the amber warning seriously, as we all should), which is no bad thing, but stupidly got excited. It did indeed snow, but no where near enough to satiate my childlike desire for being snowed in. Probably for the best!
I’m in Bournemouth and I always forget that snows a normal occurrence in some parts of the country. Seems weird and exotic to me lol 🤷♂️
You know, I appreciate the red weather warnings. Every time my area has had one the warning was justified, like the Beast from the East a few years ago which deposited an entire 3 feet of snow, or the December storm which disintegrated fences everywhere.
But these yellow and amber warnings feel like a complete lottery.
I get that it’s difficult to predict these things, and it will probably only get harder as weather events become ever more extreme, but the risk is the warnings are going to become ignored the more they get it wrong.
I don’t just mean overreacting either, there were floods that devastated the south Wales valleys not long ago that only received a yellow warning that really should have been red – it was legitimately a danger to life.
It’s currently 12 degrees down our way, I might break out the shorts today. Under a cagoule obviously, it’s absolutely chucking it down as usual.
We have 1ft of snow in North Yorkshire.
Don’t know why people get disappointed when they don’t get snow. Sure it looks great out the window. But in reality if it sticks around it just turns to ice and then anywhere that’s not town centre doesn’t have gritted pavements, and only the main roads get gritted. I’ll probably be skating to my hospital appointment on Monday morning.
We have about 10cm of snow here in West Yorkshire. Just about to go and make a snowman. I’d rather not have snow but at least the daughter is happy.
I’m near Margate. It pissed down yesterday … and today it’s light rain. Which feels less inviting than actual snow.
Its snowed here, total carnage out there according to FB, out my window its just a slushy mess, i have 11 miles to run this morning as part of my marathon training and its fair to say that isnt happening so made a brew and climbed back into bed.
Relentless fucking rain in mid devon.
Wife is just happy that’s it’s going to be around 13° C today.
It’s raining here
Grey and wet in south Lincs. Nothing even at 2am when I peaked out the window hoping to see the forecast snow – disappointed
It’s thick snow here. Took the fluffy boys out for a walk which was delightful. Seeing kids out building snow men, and admiring excellent paw prints, but now I’m annoyed that I can’t do my big shop or run any errands because my rear wheel drive car will see me to my death. It is pretty though.
Please. You can take the snow from here. I’ve just bought a new car and really wanted to drive it about
