We have had snowfall for a few hours now off and on sticking here and there. Is it snowing anywhere else or are we just the unlucky ones I say that as I hate snow.

Did you see the map I posted?

Marydoll Wed 20-Nov-24 12:25:06

Brilliant Maw. I thought it was a weather map. My eyes are really bad at the moment!😎

Witzend Wed 20-Nov-24 12:30:24

Still no snow here, but it’s lovely and sunny - but cold - today, after two very grey, wet, dismal days.
Ice on the bird baths this morning.

It was quite hard to enlarge and sharpen up into focus, but I found if I kept tapping at it, eventually it came tight.

It was quite interesting. I was trying to work out, what ours were called. That is if we ever see one.
Main roads and school routes are done first, it takes days to get to us!

Just frost this morning in Somerset

rowyn Wed 20-Nov-24 15:24:31

Rain in Berkshire; Hint of hail yesterday - frozen not stirred.

cc Wed 20-Nov-24 15:39:44

None in our part of outer west London, though we did have sleet when I took the grandchildren to school yesterday (Tuesday).

Milest0ne Wed 20-Nov-24 15:42:55

Plenty of snow here. I am trying to think of a way to remove snow from the solar panels as we have a lovely sunny day but no electricity production. I can’ t throw snowballs high enough. hmm grin

My GC are loving it and DS has a reading week so doesn't have to drive to work in it as he's working from home so Happy days. They are in Yorkshire. Here - just West of London- I heard we had a few flurries but nothing settled. I was blissfully unaware of snow, but very aware it's COLD! Hope it's not the start of a bitter winter!

Soniah Wed 20-Nov-24 16:23:37

Still lots lying in north Wales and had thundersnow in the night

coast35 Wed 20-Nov-24 16:29:39

Well here I am in a village up on a hill outside Glasgow and not a snowflake to be seen………yet! Zero degrees now though. When it says snow on high ground it usually means us!

Etoile2701 Wed 20-Nov-24 16:49:05

No snow where I live in Surrey.

grannybuy Wed 20-Nov-24 16:59:57

Snowing in NE Scotland. The car was covered in frozen snow this morning. My windscreen cover was frozen on the glass. The door locks were also frozen. It was sunny but cold during the day, but snowing again now and the temperature is -1. No doubt it will get lower during the evening and night.

Musicgirl Wed 20-Nov-24 17:08:19

A covering of snow yesterday, still lying around. Sharp frost this morning. I don't like the danger aspects of snow and ice, but love looking at it. South Lincolnshire.

Cateq Wed 20-Nov-24 17:29:56

Live just 8 miles outside of Glasgow where it’s cold but no snow yet.

rocketstop Wed 20-Nov-24 18:29:26

We had it yestrday in West Yorks, But not as much as forecast fortunately and by lunch time it had thawd quite a lot. Plenty more in the upcoming forecasts though.

Dianehillbilly1957 Wed 20-Nov-24 19:05:10

East Sutherland Scottish Highlands, snow now up to dog's belly and my calves!! Cleared drive twice today!!

grandtanteJE65 Wed 20-Nov-24 20:02:53

Snow was forecast fot this afternoon here in the south of Denmark. To my great surprise afternoon coincided with half-past eight this morning.

I have long known that the met. office apparently does not own a map of the kingdom of Denmark, today I discovered that the do n ot have a clock either!

Glorious sunny, cold weather. The snow continued for about an hour then melted away. More forecast for tonight.

Early for snow, we rarely have any before my birthday (26th November) when it ought to snow. I adore snow and was born in a snow storm.

We have five named gritters here in our LA ( I didn't know that) and as far as I can see, none are on your map, Maw

Brrrhead - named after Barrhead
Maidenchill - named after Maidenhill
Thaw-rnliebank - named after Thornliebank
Weather-Lee - named after Whitelee Windfarm and Netherlee
We Built This Gritty on Clarkston Toll - named after the song "We Built This City" by Jefferson Starship

We have snow forecast for Saturday, I hope not, I have things to do!

Heathen414 Thu 21-Nov-24 02:36:23

First snow tonight mix with cold rain. Same tomorrow.
