would you adam and eve it, first snow flakes of 2019 here in DE4. approx 8 landed on frozen car, and on the short drive to work saw 20 secs of flakes flitering down. haha, is it a sign of stuff to come in the coming weeks I hope so.

another barmey morning here, heating still off, thick fog again, I,m sure I can here the grass growing. roll on spring, now.

Boxing Day time for a moan. no cold yet, non on the horizon, even seen some talk about cold coming in FEB !!! snow drops are breaking through already, and Ive had to switch of the heating its so bloody mild. Took the dogs for a walk did,nt even need coats. thinking of mowing the lawn this week and I Iive in rural Derbyshire at close to 200mts SSW warming ?? rubbish. Even if it turns a bit colder with a bit of snow so what we would of had that without a SSW, especially here. every year we have the same, expectations from models and note happens, so what if we have 3 or 5 days cold weather in Jan or Feb. this winters already busted. i feel pity for those that live further South with no alevation, at least for me high ground of 300 to 350 mts is only a 10 min car drive, so at least I can catch HILL SNOW, thats if we even have that. GOD what a rant, this must be the worst winter here for 5 years or more, apologies for letting of steam but this winters already over here. (MY BIGGEST MOAN EVER) not even had a drink YET !!!!!

well struggling with met office forecast, shows 5 hours off heavy snow here, but currently 2.5c can see big possibilty of freezing rain, so echos others views if that happens (the cars stopping on the drive !) last time we had that here it was chaos, as others have eluded to, all roads were closed for over 2 hours, we did live in a hilly area, the schools shut, it was pretty rough we had two people who fell and broke their arm in the car park, it was like a skating rink, but clear glass.

Looking better now, Amber warning for heavy snow and blizzards 2pm to 6pm Bring it on, even if its short afair maybe a taster of whats to come later in Dec and Jan do like those heavy snow met office symbols haha

May the fun begin haha heavy snow on A57 Snake pass. travel with care,

same here, heatings been like the oke koke. on off, on off, currently off. but its difficult when ones partner likes it be a constant 25c. hahah

well nothing here, 2 mins of heavy blobs of rain ?? still over 22c and its 11.30pm heat wave aint over here

What a fab day here in North Norfolk currently on hols from north derbyshire. Been on brancastor beach, swimming in sea, no need for towles to warm up, great weather

skies looking dark and angry here, gonner lash it down soon

I;m in matlock right now, just lit thje bbq doh, few spots but the storm seem to be skirting round the valley ( i hope) very muggy, carn't believe how the two cells popped up in 15 mins

north of the storm action in the mids at moment, fantastic morning, blue skies, warm sun. can just see the tops of the storms in the very far distance maybe 40 to 50 miles away, hopefully the sun will last most of the day

snow on tops around here, and lying a bit. still have snow drifts under the walls don,t you just love GFS automated charts now showing over 40cms of snow for here next tuesday. Having said that met office 5 day has slowly upgraded snow chances but again that changes every few hours, but good to look at.

still looking fab, kerbs disapeared 45 mins ago, always a good sign, ppn seems to be building of coast of east anglia heads north then being blown inland on strong easterly wind

thats true very true, footballs been awful at home for months and thats when we were winning. anyway who needs prem and the jumped up billionare owners

Popped into SE thread to see hows it going down there. its raging blizzard up here in North Derbyshire or should I say Narnia, haha, hours and hours of this to come

season ticket holder for Derby, I,m might stop home watch on telly. looking forward to play offs, I thjink we over achieved reaching second spot, Uou might even catch Wolves who would thought that that 4 weeks ago. back on topic snow is coming down harder, I could even go to bed confidant it will still be snowing in 6 hours haha. seriously its blizzard conditions again, driving snow, gonner be some villages cut off again thats for sure

its rough here, 18 miles north west of derby and i am of to the game tomorow if its on, but we are due another 8 hours of this stuff so better keep in touch with radio and Tv, currently 10 to 12 cm here and its still hammering down but we seem to under the streamer, and the derbys. hills always get more than Derby City area.

another stunning evening of snow here, check out radars loops, there's tons and tons of snow piling in of north sea. Met office gives another 9 hours of this stuff gonner get buried here in this streamer, it might even match the infamous March 2013 streamer, that gave over 30cm, but this time more wind so its blowing around more. there was 2 feet drifts on the tops at 4.30pm so god only knows what its like up there now, can see block roads again.

holey moley, its full on blizzards here, gonner be large drifts again on the tops, and the met warning of villages being cut of I think may come true, white conditions for last 20 minutes,

Cheers, snow settling well now, temps -2.2 dp -7 on side roads and main road, if these showers merge together, its gong be a snowfall here, no melt, no thaw

heavy snow showers now packing in, getting beefy every 10 mins.

very true, could be a great event here in next over next 72 hours, last steamer here I think in 2013 produced 36 cm everywhere with patches in garden over 50cm !! while in Derby they only had 5cms, so fingers, toes crossed where in the firing line. haha

hope so, live just 2.5 miles outside the eastern boundary, hoping for streamer to pile in the snow showers.

different over here in Derbyshire, gritters been out since 4.00pm, all over town and roads even side roads, using up winter supplies
