A friend has been rescued by the RAC.
The RAC man said that he's racing to beat todays snow because they aren't permitted to tow in the snow.
Yes I know that rhymes smile.
Rescued from Milton Keynes.
Going to Chesham where it's already Snowing.

Not a sniff of snow in Co. Durham.

Hoping for a good covering at some time this winter, though. We've an excellent sledging slope in the field behind the house and we all love sledging grin

Yes snow in North London

OMG it has been snowing in NW London. It has stopped now but my car and bins are covered.

Snowing in NE London and my garden looks lovely even with the builder's rubble that covers it. smile

None here in south Devon, but then it's quite rare in my particular neck of the woods. Although, having said that, we did have it quite bad last year, but I'm hoping that was a one-off!

Surprisingly, no snow in the NE of Scotland. In fact, it has been a glorious, sunny day but a bit chilly. When I see the news on the tv, do I feel smug? YES!!
It is long past 1.00am and there's no knowing what will happen through the night.

Snow in Northants

We had a snow shower here for half an hour last night in Surrey but it didn’t stick and none this morning. My daughter text a photo of snow in London whilst she was commuting home. I’m scared to drive in it in my little car so am willing it away as I work 2 days a week

We had a dusting overnight in Cambridgeshire and it's freezing this morning. DH has insisted on going fishing today so I'll be flipping furious if he gets a cold. His friend who takes him is still coughing!

MEN!!! angry

No snow here in Mid Sussex. I like it in some ways, the look and the drama, but fear it in others. DD1 and her DH drive to work on country roads and DD2 commutes by train, which seems to be affected if 2 flakes fall.

A little here this morning (SW London) but already disappearing fast. Quite a lot of wet snow yesterday afternoon/evening.

No snow in Essex at the moment, a little sunshine.

henetha Wed 23-Jan-19 11:45:42

There is snow up on Dartmoor apparently, but I'm just off the edge of the moors and this morning there was a bit of sleet which soon cleared up and now it's mainly a bright sunny day, but chilly.

harrigran Wed 23-Jan-19 13:53:44

No snow here either but it is mighty cold.

Luckylegs Wed 23-Jan-19 18:32:12

Here in Lancashire we have lots of snow.. We are quite sheltered by the Pennines so it’s very unusual. It’s also very very cold. Not nice at all! Roll on two weeks when we’ll be in Portugal!

Marmight Wed 23-Jan-19 18:44:31

No! No snow where I am in NSW ?

BBbevan Wed 23-Jan-19 20:39:44

Still no snow in SW Wales. Though it is perishing cold and a bit of sleet was in the rain earlier

MawBroon Wed 23-Jan-19 20:46:44

Courtesy of a FB friend, hope she doesn’t mind me sharing it.

Nan kate. What is rumykub.

etheltbags1 Wed 23-Jan-19 21:09:50

No snow here in northumberland coast. Although there is some in the hills. I want some snow. I love snowballs snowmen and fun with dgd. Please the powers that be send me snow

NanKate Wed 23-Jan-19 22:09:39

Ethel Rummykub is a fabulous game played with tiles as you would with Scrabble except they are all numbers. It is based on the card game Rummy. So with your 14 tiles each you sort them into either a run or 2 or 3 of a kind. Instead of suits there are 4 colours, red, black, yellow and blue.

Once you have mastered the basics of the game there are clever moves you can make using some of the tiles put down on the table by your fellow players.

The winner has got rid of all their tiles.

Sometimes you can get a set from a charity shop otherwise a set will cost £20 +

We have had some snow in the Scottish Highlands but it’s definitely melting today.

megan123 Thu 24-Jan-19 11:23:22

Snowy on the hills around here in Derbyshire and very foggy. Snow forecast for later on the local weather.

Yes, it's still a winter wonderland here near Loch Lomond. It was minus 6 yesterday morning. Sun was out earlier with a beautiful sunrise. Now it has clouded over, it's a grey sky. At least it's longer daylight now. thistle

We had a light sprinkling of snow in West Lancashire, and the roads and pavements have been like a skating rink. Walking the dog yesterday, I came a real cropper, skidding and falling over backwards! Luckily my husband was with me and helped me to get up.

Less icy today, thank goodness!
