Snow.

[BobClay]

My back garden this morning …. can't find my bird feeders anywhere …..

Scottish gritter locations and their names

 

[Trumpet]

Bit more in Woodseaves overnight, no panic, no shovels required.

 

[staffordjas]

Started coming down quite thick-sh this past half hour or so here. No shovels required yet, at least last night treacherous black ice has thawed a bit.

 

[Trumpet]

Sky looks full of it up here.

 

[Cirrus]

Snow falling now

 

[staffordjas]

Still coming down here , although not as thick as earlier . Ruler at the ready for the scientific wheelie bin lid measurements

(One good thing about hubby working home now is we don't have to worry about travelling anywhere , and my tuesdays hospital appointment is plod through the snow/ walkable )

 

[Bob]

It started here about an hour ago and we’re totally white over, a snowman is in progress.

 

[staffordjas]

Most of our snow has melted now. Just a bit lingering and the ground soaked. Just hoping it doesn't freeze overnight.

It was snowing while over the chase this morning, but as soon as I got to the A34 it was gone.

Very patchy. There was a bit when we were out but by the time we'd got home it had melted. Might still have been about in parts of the Chase this afternoon but I don't know as we found other ways of getting cold.

 

[Noah]

Snow this morning in Coven according to stepdaughter but nothing in Penkridge.

It was snowing while over the chase this morning, but as soon as I got to the A34 it was gone.

I remember snow fences being erected for the winter in fields parallel to and east of the A34 between Bednall and Huntington to prevent drifting snow blocking the road but that was in the 1960s when we had proper winters, especially 1962 to '63.

They still had them into the early '90s. By then the proper winters had stopped.

 

[EasMid]

They were on the A34 on the southbound side between Stafford & Stone for many years until about the 90s

 

[Mudgie]

Proactive, EasMid,
I hadn't realised that the snow fences continued that recently.
The ending of the Cold War must have stopped all that snow coming straight from the Urals.

 

[Bob]

We’re still white over here! The roads are like an ice rink.

 

[staffordjas]

Just started snowing again a bit here and -2C . Now changed to more rainy snow . Still lots of snow lying around on the pavements which have become treacherous , which I have just found out trying to stay upright on my walk.

 

[Gramaisc]

Seawater ice in a harbour to the west.

 

[Trumpet]

Showing -8 over here at present. Too cold to snow. Or so they say.
