Enjoy it....won’t be long before we are all back on here wishing for more if it ?
My Dad is 84 and lives higher up than me so even getting to his is horrendous. The garden is now buried under massive drifts and it’s still snowing. Need to ring up and cancel my Spa afternoon- don’t think we would get there!

Ok you can stop now. Spent an hour sorting out my dads condensate pipe which is in the most exposed corner of his house! Now Home and can’t see out of the windows for drifting and falling snow. Nice day with best mate in Manchester cancelled as too dangerous to drive even with 4x4. Very pretty to look at but it’s the wind!
-
Woken by the howling wind, so much snow in the air difficult to know whether its drifting or actually snowing at the moment, walking the dogs this morning could be exciting especially for the little one who was struggling with the drifts last night, could totally vanish into them today. Need to go back to bed for a few hours now!

The snow is so heavy that it looks like thick fog outside the window, no visibility at all!

Interesting from GFS 12z next weekend predicting snow again
Should arrive in the NW around 6pm
its arrived now!

Minus 6 here and the sun hasn’t set yet. Wind blowing settled snow into beautiful drifts which will start to block the gates soon. Looking a radar the showers a building nicely and heading this way.
-
Minus 4 here and wind direction has gone Easterly again so showers come to me from Hull.

This will skip the hills and give a couple more inches in places.
Could be problematic over the next half a dozen hours.
And the line above is heading for Bacup!

Beautiful pics. My dog loves the snow. Looks like an addict of some sort when he's finished.
Mine are the same white faces and snowballs on legs. I’ve put them in the boot room by the radiator to defrost and drip!!

Have given in and took the dogs in the field. Wind strong and drifts starting to form in the lane. Snow deep enough to easily cover my boots and it keeps on coming!!
-
Dogs want to go for s walk but they will have to wait
-
Very heavy drifting snow just started here, it looks like that big line is holding together this time.
-
Just took the dogs out now snowing heavily and topping up quickly now.

Proper flakes but drifting about in the wind, a slight covering and every flake settles but not enough intensity, sky darkening up again now so maybe a proper shower coming. Off to Manchester on a course so hope to come home to a decent amount.

TBH it’s probably a fantastic day to be out walking and if I didn’t have a couple of jobs to finish off i’d be off like a shot.
need plenty of layers though.
Been out with Hounds wearing 3 layers on body plus hat and gloves- just right!

Me too sounds cold without even setting my foot outside but dogs need walking and cats feeding so I’m going to have to leave my nice warm bed!!

Party at yours then Sf and save on my heating bills.
seriously though, a strong easterly can cause havoc here even without it being a bitter cold one.
It somehow often gets very gusty as it crosses the ridge on the county boundary and i’ve had fence panels blown out by easterlies in summer months when lower down the valley it’s been pretty calm.
looking forward in principle to what may be a once in a generation spell of weather but the reality when it arrives may prove to be serious and even if the snow isn’t heavy the feel will certainly be damned cold and probably even a shock to my system.
To be honest it feels cold enough already dogs only got a very cursory walk around my field this evening I wasn’t going any further afield it was cold enough this morning. Need to dig out my proper gloves my fingerless ones don’t work in this weather!

Think the general public are starting to latch on to the cold spell judging by the amounts of logs and coal Home Bargain were selling earlier. Glad I stocked up! I do hope we see some decent snow during the next couple of weeks.
I,ve brought a car load of logs down from the stables and bought 3 bags of coal today, I am prepared!!

I know we are just sat here on autoroute trying to work out where to stop
I have driven down to the South of France for many years which is 10 hours from Calais, now I drive to Dover and get the tunnel and go to bed at a Travel lodge place in Calais and then go to sleep, this means I get a good nights sleep. I get up at about 7 French time and start driving, if im on my own I would stop after 5 hours in somewhere like Beaune and then continue the next day. On the way home I usually push it to Reims so I only have 1.5 hours to Calais as I usually drive home from Dover. It was much easier when I lived in London!
Ive just looked up where you are driving to - that's one hell of a long way!

minus 2 here at 0610

Incredibly heavy snow with gigantic flakes filling up all the gaps

I quite agree the snow and wind here today have been horrendous and still it continues people should not be going anywhere around here unless it’s really necessary. No visibility because of drifting snow and not been above -4 all day!!
