OMG! It's snowing [shock]

In Scotland...freezing cold & snow. Early even for us!

I know exactly what you mean! November really is a bit early for that slushy, half-hearted snow. It never looks pretty, it just makes everything damp, cold, and inconvenient. Fingers crossed it doesn’t settle — the last thing anyone needs is winter showing up before we’ve even finished autumn!

Hope the weather behaves for your lunch outing too. That wet, misty snow is a guaranteed hair-ruiner — truly a first-world struggle, but a real one nonetheless! 😄

I’m not far from you, also in the southeast, and it’s pretty similar here: grey skies, that watery snow trying (and failing) to be impressive, and a chill that gets into your bones. Definitely not the magical winter wonderland people imagine. More like… ‘go protonreader.com, snow, you’re drunk.’

This is nothing compared with 1947 and 1963.

Actually, most years we have one vey cold week around the end of November/beginning of January.

I first noticed it when we moved house in early December and the week running up to the move was freezing and the house had been emptyfor a few months and we could not turn the CH boiler on. I then noticed similar weather a year later as we celebrated our first year in the house.

Some years later, we again moved house in early December and again the weather was freezing. Thankfully the minimal central heating in our new home was working.

Usually 2nd week in January in Cambs. We got a small flurry in Huntingdon on the "is that snow?" type before it disappeared. We have had far more rain than usual, but perhaps I should touch wood before saying our normal flood has not appeared.

I’m in East Kent. This morning, I shopped at around 9am and it was beautifully warm and sunny - I had to undo my coat.
In contrast, when I saw my granddaughter to her car at around 6pm, after she visited, it was absolutely freezing!
I hate, loathe and detest Winter!
