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.

North Essex is below freezing with clear blue skies and bright sunshine. Lovely and too cold for snow....is that really true?

Haha! That used to drive me mad. As a child I was always hoping for snow and my father would just say, too cold for snow. I think he was probably right but it did infuriate me!

It's really not true. I'm speaking as someone who lives in central Sweden and have had snow in minus 30C

However where there might be a nugget of truth is that colder nights are often clear nights (like last night's minus 17C) so there is no snow on a clear night. However it has snowed all day in minus 7C

Yes, it snowed overnight here on the Herts/Bucks borders. It's still with us, no thaw! .....................

No snowing South Somerset/Dorsetborder but Street near Mendip hills had some on Sunday didn’t last

No walk for the dog today. The snow's still about four inches thick - that's how long her little legs are!

Hiya neighbour! We didn't have any snow on Sunday but plenty on Monday. Sometimes I'm grateful that this beautiful county is fairly flat!!

LizH13 those pictures are beautiful. I especially loved the spider web

No snow here in central Angus but freezing all day. I fed the poor birds 3 times.
Temperature to be below freezing again tomorrow but sunny, so hopefully no snow as I’m driving to a Christmas get together and lunch for a Quilt group

Loads of snow in Gloucester. Very pretty. The whole area has ground to a halt!

Of course! We have had snow since late October.

I am in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. We are 2,415 KM from Victoria, British Columbia on the West Coast and 4,781 KM from St Johns, Newfoundland on the East Coast.

Lancashire. We had our first snowfall last Friday/Saturday but NOBODY mentioned snow on new until it landed in........The south east....yaaaaaaw!

Bellanonna Tue 13-Dec-22 13:45:15

Gabrielle, oh well we’re softie southerners down here and to be honest snow is a rarity and its arrival always throws us, so it becomes a big news item.

We're quite used to snow here, DonnaB5859, but can't compete with you! Welcome if you're new to GN. smile

It got up to -5.7º yesterday, but today it managed -1.7, so getting tropical!

There are some impressive pictures from some of you in the deep south. Normally it seems that it is only in films that there is a lot of snow in London and area, but you do seem to be having it now. Good luck. ☃️

When putting out much needed bird food (I got a Wagtail in the garden today), don't forget water too!
