3am this morning I woke to a huge flash through the curtains and the electric went off. It came back on at 8:30am. My electric has been off and on all day. The workmen have been out there all day digging the road and doing stuff. Just checked and the poor guys are still out there now working away. Hat's off to the Western Power engineers, they've certainly earned their money today.

Just been out to fill the coal bucket for the second time today. The wind is really getting up now.

Glimmer of hope??
That's not reflected in the BBC West Mids forecast

This has to be the most over-hyped non-event in weather history. I just want Spring to happen now to save on heating costs. This bitter cold with no snow does nothing for me.

Not much more than 2 cm of lying snow here and no current precipitation
-
It's bitterly cold. Looks like a -7C overnight. It's already -3C here. I had to sleep on the sofa in the living room last night next to the stove as my bedroom was only 4.5C
-
Today was the first morning this winter I actually woke up feeling a little cold. My bedroom was 5C and the rest of the house between 7 and 8C
All you guys praying for this cold to last, please spare a thought for those few still without central heating

The lane is white over here. Unfortunately, not enough to justify working from home on my designated office day
-
No snow for the west midlands then apart from a slight dusting?
-
I wonder how strong the wind will be overnight? Not sure my fence can take another battering like the other week
-
Snowing here. I went shopping just as it started earlier. Drove down to town (100m asl) and it was raining but turned to sleet when I finished my shopping. Drove back home (200m asl) and the lanes were starting to turn white.

Really coming down now here

Nothing here. Quite pleased actually as I'm in work today and could do without having to clear the car.

I think someone in the BBC just looked out the window lol. Been upgraded just now to heavy snow till 5am where it was showing rain 20 mins ago.
That's the BBC Weather nowcasting for you. It drives me mad. Now I just take my brolly to work unless it's obvious there'll be no rain.

No snow for me according to the MO. Light rain from 7pm to midnight, then nothing.
-
I awoke to 6C in my bedroom this morning.
-
It's that cold outside that it actually felt warm walking into my 9C hallway
-
It was -3C already in Shawbury at 3pm
-
-13C forecast overnight by the BBC

Great Day for us coldies
I'm a mildy and I have enjoyed this weekend but it's when it goes on for weeks that I hate, like it did December 2010. Mainly because my house doesn't have central heating. I don't mind waking to a 6 or 7C bedroom for a few days but any longer and it becomes horrible fast.

Still going strong here

We're not even going to try to clear the car...! It's a good thing neither of us has to get anywhere tomorrow either!
After all that, my boss just texted me to say don't come in, work from home

You might not have the same opinion if you lived in a house without central heating
