Thats such a lovely pic

Oh I like the no salt campaign!! We should revolt against it! I'm up for it ... Gorgeous pic!
-
Well this picture might cheer you up. Tromso shopping centre in Norway. Note how they treat their snow with some love and respect. No crappy salt grit to flush it away. Back in Britain the streets are laden with the stuff at the first sign of snowflakes ( if you get any ) Preserve I say and NO TO SALT ! c

With the lack of snow we not get in this country this thread is as good as dead forever me thinks
-
Surprised no one’s posted yet about the snow this weekend north of the border. Daughter had snow on Saturday in Livingston and I got my first proper dusting in Aberdeenshire on Sunday afternoon.

ok its that time of the year. First snowman of the season built on the terrace. Hope it lasts . Won't be long now for a UK snowman appears ! C

Scared to post anything at the moment in case it jinxes the whole situation. Also limiting myself to short bursts of model thread as it’s a bit too like a seesaw in there for my liking

While we are awaiting #StormCiaran from the SW tonight, there is #UKsnow over the mountains of Scotland. It was cold and clear for a time overnight, down to -5.5C. More rain for the areas hit by flooding in Babet (red triangles) and high lee gusts in the brisk easterly wind. The rainband is edging northwards today, so a bit of #snow for the NW Highland tops but more rain showers from the south.

The winter fun is starting, with random UKsnow headlines. There are signs of snow over the tops of the Scottish mountains on Sunday, for the Grampians. Also perhaps a showery easterly flow later next week, early November with more sleet and snow showers over the mountain tops. Not much more at this stage. Not the whiteout shown in the photos below. It will be November, winter is coming.

Another picture of the Arundel snow taken in Dec 1908. Going by the man with the spade at the top , looks like the snowfall was pretty deep. C

One for you snow lovers down south. Back in time, 30th December 1908, location Arundel, West Sussex. Classic snow chart that. C

Due to the upcoming stong el nino, it seems as if theres decent possibility for snow round the uk with a medium chance of a historical snow event such as the Beast From The East or even a winter like the one in 2009/2010. It would still be foolish to expect these things to happen though and there's still a decent chance of us getting a quite poor winter like the ones we've been getting the last few years.

Found this one taken in Arundel, West Sussex in 1908. I bet its a long time since they last had winter scenes like this one ! C

Latest radar showing heavy snow showers continuing over the far north of Scotland, a dig of wintry showers down the North Sea but plenty of clear blue skies and sunshine. The wind has backed slightly whereas last night snow showers covered Northumberland, Newcastle and the coast of Yorkshire near Whitby and Scarborough. The weak waving front over southern Britain with more cloud, rain did bring some slushy snow over higher ground last night. That waving weak front will bring more cold damp weather to southern England tonight with more slushy snow possible along the northern edge and over highest ground. Eyes turn to the next frontal system pushing in from the SW on Wednesday and how far north the mix of icy rain and possible snow reaches. A developing low centre is complicating this forecast. The first purple area is mainly for Wednesday afternoon, evening and pulling away from SE Britain on Wednesday night. There could be disruption along the M4 with snow possible from Cardiff across to Greater London, whether it falls as rain, sleet or snow. By Thursday, a more significant low pressure looks to barrel in from the Atlantic, across the UK on Thursday night the exiting east on Friday. The first reaches of precipitation could be over Wales and the West Midlands by Thursday morning, then over Northern Ireland and northern England by lunchtime. Not only will there be rain and snow, but also strong winds making it feel very cold and blowing the snow about. More disruption is forecast
