Melting now, just the sludge which will probably freeze overnight making it treacherous

Local December average 9c max 5c min
Forcast 3c max -2c min
Actual -1 max -7c min

cold weather seems to be systematically under estimated

[original PM]

that's pretty!

we are left with the muddy brown slush which freezes and then hangs around for weeks.

[darmstadt]

Snowed again, sturm und drang

Pavements are totally unusable here, they're just ice now. Loads of minor shunts on the roads too, according to my taxi man. I've never known a taxi driver go slowly before. Apparently his insurance is £3.5k a year so i suppose a degree of caution is to be expected

No snow here in Luton, and the medium range forecast has no snow for us up until mid Jan

Then. We just need another 6 clear weeks of no snow and I reckon we've got away with it

[Sysman]

Yesterday's snow still here.

Various folks out shovelling.

Probably more to come.

Supposed to be sunny on Wed / Thu.

[darmstadt]

Still snowing albeit lightly, more to come

[Zippy]

And we have a little more snow falling. Super. On the plus side - it did force me to find my wellies earlier.

There's an Asda not far from there if you need some more booze for later. Keep going!

Stopped at Oxford services then going to take back road via Watlington to Reading & then home from there

[NickFitz]

Bit damp out still, and there was a thin layer of ice on the car windscreen when I popped to the shops just now, but generally OK in Leicester.

Jesus. 8 hours from Newcastle to Oxford so far!!!

Had to stop for some food.

No more snow here, but nothing has melted, still have over an inch on the ground and it's bloody freezing. More forecast for tonight.

[darmstadt]

Still snowing, snow ploughs are out which is good as I have to go to the pub...
