God morning. Snow and sleet predicted for later in the North-east.

A snowy day here. Good morning all, I start work a little later today so I'm having a very leisurely breakfast after having dropped DH off at the station.

Hello Mick smile

Snow here already. Have to go out in it too. Hiking boots on for visit to dentist.

Good morning all smile we have had the most fantastic sunrise here this morning, but what is it they say about red sky in the morning hmm............ snow expected mid morning.

Cooler this morning here in Dordogne - only5 deg - damp feeling too but only slightly misty. We have had SO much rain lots of areas are flooded, fortunately mainly agricultural land, but the river has broken its banks and flowing fast. Fortunately we are a very large field away from the river and a bit higher - hope it remains high enough!!!hmm

Good morning all, it's just started snowing here in Cheshire, near Manchester airport. Forecast is for sleet though so I don't expect it will stick!
Off out to exercise class and then hairdressers smile

Morning peeps! The snow is starting here in south Manchester. I am staying put today, to just potter, do a little dusting and watch my garden turn white. I do like lazy days grin

whenim64 Wed 13-Feb-13 08:29:30

Snap Ella I am the other side of the airport to you. grin

Good morning! DH well enough (my diagnosis) after Monday's fevers etc to be left this morning so that I can go to my Lit class - hurray!
OH dear - does that sound ungracious? Tough love smile

Gally Wed 13-Feb-13 08:48:13

Ta da!! First snow of the year softly drifting in a downwards direction. Typical: today I am going to a neighbour's 80th Birthday party at Harvey Nicks in Edinburgh. Cancel the taxi and order a sleigh I think.

AlieOxon Wed 13-Feb-13 08:49:40

Morning all. No snow here in Oxon, just cold, I think.

Going shopping in Oxford, birthday cards for grandson and a cake....I offered to make one, but no...daughter prefers to spend money.
I am to make a big flapjack instead. Will decorate it with stars.

We are not taking the grandson, he is bored shopping and on Monday was a sulky little *. However, he came and apologised, after we walked away....

Go for it gracesmum smile

Nelliemoser Wed 13-Feb-13 08:51:33

Oh heck! Is it on its way to me in south Cheshire? Its certainly grey enough!

I so need some sunshine I will have to go for the virtual stuff.

sunshine sunshine sunshine sunshine sunshine sunshine sunshine sunshine sunshine sunshine sunshine sunshine
It looks so good I did some more

Galen Wed 13-Feb-13 08:51:46

Rain, off to work. I've switched the stroganoff on this time!

gracesmum Wed 13-Feb-13 08:53:02

I had a similarly sceptical reaction when I offered to make a Toby the tram engine cake. DD was very "Oh don't worry mum...."
So I made it and da*n good it was too, I think I posted a pic at the time. Admired by all and done with granny love plus the determination to prove her wrong!!!

Sook Wed 13-Feb-13 08:58:16

Good morning everyone smile It's bitterly cold here in Cheshire, snow forecast for later. DH has a fasting blood test this morning and then we are off to pick up GC. A bit later this morning as DS2 is off work due to shingles, which seem to be confined to his face and scalp. So will take him a homemade Homity Pie for his lunch to cheer him up.

AlieOxon Wed 13-Feb-13 09:07:04

Homity Pie (I had to look it up!) sounds like something I should remember, but I don't. If I ever find a substitute for cow milk cheese I will make it.....so far I don't like goat or sheep cheese much!

Marelli Wed 13-Feb-13 09:11:31

Snow falling steadily and prettily. Hospital visiting this afternoon, so it could be a case of hiking boots here too.

Ariadne Wed 13-Feb-13 09:16:25

It is raining hard...again.

forbesisnow2 Wed 13-Feb-13 09:22:20

Good morning everyone, snow falling softly here in Inverness, very cold too.
Off to stitch and bitch this morning, then to lunch with a friend. I will take her shopping after which we have great excitment as we are picking up our rescue cat from the SSPCA. Very nervous and not sure what to expect.
Any advice. sunshine

Forzanonna Wed 13-Feb-13 09:42:55

Snowing here near Glasgow. Not working this week wo will cosy in and enjoy looking at it brew

Anne58 Wed 13-Feb-13 09:49:05

Morning all, grey skies and heavy rain here in North Devon. I was going to mop all the downstairs floors, but think I will just sweep imstead!

annodomini Wed 13-Feb-13 09:59:05

We're having those little mini snowflakes that don't give much coverage, so it isn't even pretty!
