Well it’s pouring rain here at the moment. After an unpleasant 39C yesterday it is quite welcome, all the plants were looking half dead.

We had snow. The children rushed out to make snowmen. They lasted longer than the snow did. The snow simply melted then and froze into patches It made walking the dog very risky if you’re worried about falling.

We’ve had a thick laying of snow, but now it is raining, so hopefully it will wash it away. Not everywhere in the UK has had “just a light flurry”, but we’re hoping it will soon be gone, though the forecast here is still suggesting we could have more snow. I do hope it’s wrong, I hate the stuff.

We had an amber warning today …. 😁
Cold out but calm.

Heavy snow where I am. Went for a lovely walk in it earlier!

No snow on the south coast but I’m really sick of the rain and high winds.

We've had some snow and it's very cold, south of Edinburgh but I haven't been outside.

Oh, the BBC news gives another amber weather warning for snow in the north.

We were promised snow in Berkshire and I saw some had fallen at about 6am. All turned to rain by the time I got up.

Just another soggy dull day here near Bristol

In bed listening to pouring rain now.

I believe a snow storm is occurring in the US, affecting several states as far down as Florida.

Sleet turning to rain here. Pretty generally wet and miserable really.

It came, it saw, but it didn’t conquer😁
Just a light flurry that soon vanished in the rain.

Hardly a snowstorm!

A snowstorm in a teacup!

Allira Sun 05-Jan-25 21:18:50

It came, stayed for a while then melted away!

The temperature went up to about 11C this afternoon.

Hardly a snowstorm!

No snow. Here in the south east is just lots of rain and dreary skies. I think most of the snow fell further north. Have friends who live in Lancashire where I originally come from and they report several cms of snow and drifting.

I logged on today expecting a thread about the snowstorm, but didn't see one.

How are you all making out? Stuck at home for a few days, or do you have to go out?

It's a balmy 5 degrees celcius here on BC's north coast. We had a tiny bit of snow a few days ago, but it's all melted now.
