Wonder how long some of these drifts will hang around, be interesting to see, there are some huge ones around up this way and still know of roads that are still completely blocked (mainly back roads that are not used much)

Yes temp dropping now, down to 1.2C!! Coming down quite nicely although melting on the cars in short order, be interesting to see if it cools enough to give a dusting.

Snowing here too, temp 1.5C

-2C here and snowing nicely, some decent flakes for a change!!

That's what I was doing today, snowplough wasn't able to cope with the drifts so had to go and get a loader+big bucket, 3hrs to do this road, drifts were 5ft+ with one that was over 7ft, all cleared now but suspect that by morning it will be blocked again (not as bad mind)

Seems the "Mouse from Murmansk" did deliver around here, most of the fields are green as grass where all the snow has been blown off them and dumped into the roads, especially any that are 90 degrees to the wind, been out snow ploughing all morning and some drifts are 7ft+ and are too much for my tractor/plough to handle, just one road not done as would need a loader + bucket to literally dig the snow out. Anyway a few pics from the back roads around our way!! The first image should be a road under all that lot but too much snow to move.

Very disappointing here, we had plenty of snow but such small grains, most of it just blew away (not sure where) The grass is still green bar a few drifts around house, roads are fine. Fortunately we didn't get any freezing rain (have witnessed this before and I feel for anyone who had it last night)

More like "The Mouse from Murmansk" here!!!! Glad some are getting in on the action!

Maybe it will pick up later, fingers crossed!!! It is brutal out there though, very unpleasant in the strong wind, snow that has drifted has a brown tinge to it, seems the dust from the yard etc has blown with it and turned it a sandy colour.

Not feeling the love for it currently, still have very fine flakes blowing around in the wind with no real depth yet.

Afternoon's transport sorted!!

Tiny flakes falling here and wind has got up.

You need someone with a 4wd tractor if you can find a friendly farmer, I suspect that if they have livestock they will be dealing with their own problems mind!! It won't be the depth of snow but the drifting that will be the problem with a normal 4x4 where a decent tractor will just plough straight through, got one sat in the drive with snow plough on the front but alas a tad far away me thinks!!

-5C here and blowing a gale, snowing lightly, looks bitter out!! Good luck everyone!

Temp here down to -6.7C.

Temp already down to -3.7C here!!

We had a full on blizzard earlier, lasted all of 10 minutes, everything covered and that was that, a few flakes blowing around in the wind currently, looking forward to tomorrow!!

-3.2C here, what do you reckon you'll get to??? -10C?? What is your record, sure it will be pretty extreme tonight!!

-5C here, a few flakes last night but nothing worth getting excited about!!

Yes diesel will still "wax" as we call it, a lot of modern cars have fuel heaters but if the stuff in the tank is waxed they are not a lot of use. Although it will have to get pretty chilly for it to wax up, maybe -15C? The trouble is mostly water in the filters, this readily freezes and limits flow. I guess I will be on snow plough duty if it gets bad.

He'll have to get to Heathrow first!!!

0.6C here and previous rain/hail on the cars has frozen, hope for a spot of snow tomorrow.

It came down quite nicely around half an hour ago, lots of small/medium sized flakes, settling on the cars etc but has stopped, looking at the radar I suspect that is it for the evening.

Some flakes this morning and again at the moment, small flakes and very light, seem to take an age to fall to the ground.

Just back from a ploughing match up at Brackley near Oxford and despite the windchill it was a pleasant day in the sun however we did have two snow showers, nothing heavy and didn't last long but certainly flakes. Temp here 4.1C currently here at home.
