Light sprinkling earlier, now just rain in Lincs.

Wall to wall sunshine ? here in the sunny south east (I wish) .

No it’s cold, grey, damp and miserable ?

No snow in north Scotland...sadsadsad

In Glasgow we woke to this

Esspee Fri 07-Jan-22 12:09:00

Thankfully it is now melting in the glorious sunshine.

Just a light sprinkling this morning in Polmont which has turned to ice on the ground. It's treacherous to walk on so I'm staying in.

Grantanow Fri 07-Jan-22 12:35:31

None here in Zummerzet!

Espee I'm just north of Glasgow, last snowed at 9am taking my granddaughter to school. The Campsies are looking glorious with the sun shining on them .

Snowing intermittently in Sheffield but, as yet, not settling and .......my just 2 year old boiler has broken down angry

no snow here in sunny poole. rain forecast for tomorrow and maybe some sleet but it rarely snows here anyway.

Yep. Rural town in South Lanarkshire. Enough to cause the usual chaos on the roads first thing. The local Facebook page was full of reports of lorries blocking roads and school transport being cancelled.

I’m sure all is well now.

Just stopped here in Cumbria the Pennines are covered right down to the villages.

Grannmarie Fri 07-Jan-22 12:50:40

Snow is still lying in North Lanarkshire, local road chaos this morning and real issues on the M8.
I had a telephone consultation with my local GP and she said it took her an hour and a half to get to the surgery this morning, usually a short drive.
I'm glad I'm staying in today. ❄?

Left Surrey yesterday early morning- very cold but definitely NO snow. Found plenty on arrival though smile (in Swiss mountains).

I can see the Campsies from my front windows Petal1. Look outside and I’ll give you a wave. ??

No snow here and we're not that far from Derby

roscoebabe Fri 07-Jan-22 13:05:27

no snow herein West Midlands but it's cold and muddy over the fields

Grannmarie Fri 07-Jan-22 13:06:01

Kali2, that's some journey, well done!
Enjoy the snowy Swiss mountains, sounds beautiful. ⛄?❄

MaizieD Fri 07-Jan-22 13:08:07

No snow today in Durham, but lots of nasty ice from yesterday's half melted snow .

Lilylaundry Fri 07-Jan-22 13:18:33

Here south Durham we woke up to a winter wonderland. Refuse collection this morning. How I admire those workers, slip sliding about but cheery with it. And the driver of that huge vehicle! Respect to them all.

Happysexagenarian Fri 07-Jan-22 13:25:33

No snow here on the south coast, in fact it's a bit warmer than it was yesterday, but breezier. Wouldn't mind seeing a bit of snow before the winter's over though.

Alioop Fri 07-Jan-22 13:26:31

I've a light dusting, but black ice is the problem where I am in N.Ireland. My sister phoned me first thing to tell me not to go out with my dog as she nearly fell coming out of her house as its so slippy. Snow flurries at the moment and dark skies.

grandtanteJE65 Fri 07-Jan-22 13:42:11

Yesterday we had a hoar frost and minus 6 in the south of Denmark. Icy roads, but brilliant sunshine.

Today + 5, rain in the morning, now dry but overcast, and with strong wind. Nearly froze to death cycling to the council dump with the remains of the Christmas tree! And the dump is under 3 km away from the house.

Please, please could we go back to frost, snow, brilliant sun and no wind? It would be so much less depressing.

grannybuy Fri 07-Jan-22 13:55:16

No snow in NE Scotland. It’s dry and bright, but cold.

LadyGracie Fri 07-Jan-22 13:58:11

Still raining in South Wales, so depressing, apart from a couple of half days here and there it's been raining for weeks, makes me feel so cold.
