Keeping fingers crossed for dry weather for Bank Holiday weekend... we are meant to be camping... rain + tent = extremely grumpy nikki

My inbox has been jammed up today with weather warnings from the MetOffice... as if we needed reminding that it's going to be hissing it down for the foreseeable future.. will it ever end?????

Snowing quite heavily in Dunstable.. and has been for about an hour... and settling... :clapping:

I'm meant to be umpiring two games of netball on Saturday morning and playing as well... but I have a stinking cold and would really rather not but don't want to let everyone down.... would be very happy for the snow to force to cancellation of the games.... fingers crossed....!

Yes we're watching it.... .. the snow we had a while ago just looked like a sprinkling of glitter.. but it is heavier now...!

Rats.. the lamppost I usually use to snow-watch... usually in clear view from my chair in front of the tv... is obscured by branches.....

It's starting to snow in Dunstable... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

An inch or so in Dunstable... although can still see some grass poking through the snow... the roads are fine and it turned more to rain as got nearer to MK. Christmas Carol concert at work and departmental Christmas do this afternoon... it feels very festive... :smilz38:

Had reports of light snow in Dunstable and Totternhoe, heavy settling snow in Brackley, Oxon and light snow in Stony Stratford... can't see that it is going to come to anything but.... :clapping:

The Daily Express and Daily Mail both lead on a big freeze heading our way within the next fortnight... the chap who is predicting this is the same one that predicted snowfall in October...so not sure his forecasts are that reliable but does anyone here think there could be some truth in this? Thanks.

Love it!! Know just how he feels...

Just had a call from a colleague who says it's snowing blizzard like in...... Athens.... who would have thought it! So that's where our snow has gone!

Quite heavy, proper snow in Dunstable at the moment. Stopped after about 10 minutes!

My house wouldn't need quite so much cleaning if it wasn't for the hubby and kids!!!!!!!!!

We had a heavy but brief snow shower in Milton Keynes at about 10am, which settled but melted quickly. Then a very heavy hail shower at about 11am, which turned to very heavy snow for about 15/20 minutes, which settled then as soon as it started, stopped again and it's now blue sky and the snow/hail is melting again. The second shower was very heavy and you couldn't see the building over the other side of the car park!

Snow grains falling all day but a heavy proper snow shower has not long started and it's settling in Milton Keynes.... Dunstable downs is looking white.....

Apparently, it's snowing in St Albans.... but it's quite sleety on the ground......

Grey, damp and revolting...... Yuck! Bring back the snow!!

Mostly gone, piles of snow swept from drives etc. still there in places...

I have just had the journey from hell. I live in Dunstable, I had to travel to Slip End to collect a couple of colleagues, then to another part of Dunstable to collect another colleague, I left home at 7:15am. The hill to slip end was a treacherous then, I had to ask the Dunstable friend to walk to meet me as I was not going to get near her house. An hour and 40 minutes later I arrived in MK, all roads treacherous, even the A5. Snowing continuously, brakes not very effective. Just don't go out, it's the worst driving conditions I've ever known, no point going home, as the A5 is at a standstill southbound.

A work colleague has sent me a photo from her house in Brackley, with a ruler.. the snow is up to 8 inches!!! WOW! It's stopped snowing here now!

It started snowing last night at about 8pm, and was still snowing this morning at about 9. It has just started snowing quite heavily again.... We were told at 10am that my workplace was not going to open today... YAY SNOW DAY!!!!! :lol: :lol:

Although, would be grateful if it could wait until after 10pm tonight, I need to come to St Albans tonight and it's something I can't miss!!!!! I know - can't please everyone!!!!!
