Bluebalou I’m North Wiltshire too and we got rain from lunchtime then 10 minutes of sleet then back to rain.

No snow in Liverpool

Just cold and damp in South Bucks.

Light dusting here in sw Scotland and very icy. Not sure what the temperature is outside but my boiler is playing up and have had no hot water or central heating for two days now. 6 degrees downstairs and thankfully the wood burner has been on since I got home at 5.30 so the upstairs sitting room is warm. I can cope with the lack of heating but no hot water is a pain. Hopefully my so will be able to coax the boiler back to life tomorrow or Sunday. Will be wearing a fleecy hoodie in bed and the hood will be up tonight!

Here in Cheshire, a layer of snow has settled and, according to the thermometer at my back door, the temperature is -2. ?

Very cold in West Oxfordshire but no snow.

Rainy, cold and dismal in mid-Wiltshire. Must be nearly wine o’clock!

Snowed in Bolton yesterday and ‘stuck’ for a while and again today.

Woke up to snow in Fermanagh this morning. Thawing now but still very cold.

I am on one of the hills outside Glasgow and we have about 3” of lying snow here. Went out to try to defrost the car the a layer about 3” thick has frozen onto all the windows and passenger door wont open at all. Gave up and delved into the freezer instead!

No snow here on the east coast of Scotland just wall to wall sunshine and bitterly cold

MaizieD and Lilylaundry - do you live in the same Durham?? ??

The last time I saw heavy snow was in Durham - arrived late Friday evening and the Beast from the East arrived overnight. We woke up o six inches of snow.

None here in north Wiltshire, it’s drizzling and really cold.

JaneJudge Fri 07-Jan-22 14:03:52

no but my husband is installing the glass in our new greenhouse so I suspect we'll have a twister

Kali2 Fri 07-Jan-22 14:03:00

The record in a Valley near is is minus 43.8c- so minus 29 is for sissies (lol- joking!).

Maidmarion Fri 07-Jan-22 14:00:37

I’m in Nebraska with my family (going back tomorrow) and the temperature has been as low as -29c…. Now that’s cold…!!!!!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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