No snow here yet in South Devon but I know parts of North Devon has it and read Manchester Airport closed due to the white stuff. I love it, so do our dogs, and hope we get some soon.

Snow here in Brighton, about 2 inches and looking gorgeous. It's so quiet...

When I was putting the wild bird food out yesterday I could hear the trees and plants crackling!

Patsy70 Mon 12-Dec-22 09:59:58

Why do my photos always do that? 🙄

Patsy70 Mon 12-Dec-22 09:59:22

Looking very festive, but I hope it clears soon! 🤞

-9º this morning, but there is still plenty of crunchy snow at the edges of the pavement so that you can avoid the ice where the snow has been cleared, melted and then frozen. It looks very pretty, but that's enough now, thank you. ☃️

No snow in Norfolk but absolutely beautiful yesterday morning. Frosted grass, plants and spider's webs.
Car doesn't even need de icing today.

Yes, overnight snow here in N Bucks.
Blankety-blank nuisance as I was due to have a dental check up but have had to cancel as the road out of the village is treacherous and my drive is looking decidedly tricky too.
Lovely on Christmas cards- but complicates life doesn’t it?
I bet you’ve got more than us in Switzerland though Fleurpepper !

Very snowy here in Herts. Some schools closed for DGC. Tesco have cancelled my order, due now, so will put wellies on and trudge down our hill to Sainsburys later on.

-6 degrees here in Edinburgh today. Am staying in as long as possible but I do need to go out for food shopping. Will wait till it warms up a bit. Fingers crossed. Just hope the car starts!

We had snow in the middle of the night in Berkshire but nothing since. Grandson thought the schools should be closed !

YorkLady Mon 12-Dec-22 08:47:18

-3 here. No snow but very harsh frost. Staying indoors today!

Nannagarra Mon 12-Dec-22 08:44:50

It’s rare to have the white stuff in this corner of the Sefton coast; no change here to report!

Kalu Mon 12-Dec-22 08:12:51

-7 deg. with a very hard frost here in Glasgow which makes it treacherous underfoot, forecast is for sleet but still no sign of snow. I have been bringing bird feeders indoors overnight hoping the birds can have a feed in the morning before the feeders freeze up again. Likewise their water bowl.

I have woken up to a scattering of snow here in Oxford.

harrigran Mon 12-Dec-22 07:48:51

Like the Arctic here in the NE, not been above freezing for a week and we have several inches of snow. Quite treacherous because I am on a hill and it is causing problems for car owners.

cornergran Mon 12-Dec-22 07:44:41

None - yet - in our bit of Somerset. Heavy cloud all day yesterday saved snow for others. Very icy out there though and it feels oh so cold.

Charleygirl5 Mon 12-Dec-22 07:35:30

I was shocked to see heavy snow in N W London last night and it is still there overnight. 0C, marginally better than -4C which has been the daytime T.

MarilynneT33 Mon 12-Dec-22 01:29:28

No snow here in Blackpool but temperature is -3 degrees.

Hetty58 Mon 12-Dec-22 00:54:43

Yep, NE London/Essex borders - about five inches of snow. Wondering if local schools will be closed tomorrow?

Catterygirl Mon 12-Dec-22 00:12:31

We are in central London. Thick snow at the moment.

loopyloo Sun 11-Dec-22 21:13:42

Snow in East London!!!

Sparklefizz Sun 11-Dec-22 21:11:37

Oops We are in Lanzarote.

Put your vest on to come home. It's JOLLY COLD !!!!!!!

Oopsadaisy1 Sun 11-Dec-22 20:53:19

We are in Lanzarote.

We should be (by now) in Bournemouth Airport but it closed due to snow.

So an extra day in the sun! 🌞😄
Although to be honest most of the day was spent in the airport waiting for some information. 🙁

Let’s hope we can get home tomorrow.

LilyoftheValley Sun 11-Dec-22 20:50:23

We are in Gloucestershire and have masses of snow. Abandoned cars, motorway and road accidents, blocked roads and pavements like glass bottles! Really dangerous here.

Aprilgran Sun 11-Dec-22 20:49:58

We have snow settling in Central London. A rare sight nowadays and so pretty.
