4.6c here now

[NorthNorfolkWeather]

4.0C here in Hull, really miss home, not felt this way since I came here in September. The weather is constantly miserable here and it has a detrimental effect on your mood, maybe I should have realised the east coast is generally dyer during the Autumn/Winter. 

Hi PS,

 

My wife suffers at this time of year, very much like SAD syndrome, but a bit later in the year.  On an off chance I bought a SAD light from Maplins, could be placebo effect, but she's much better

I'm actually considering Hull as a University option in September.. Maybe the weather will sway my decision!

Really don't get why people are wasting time wanting to stay up, even IF it does snow, it's going to be no more than a brief dusting which will melt quickly. I'd rather conserve myself and sleep so I can go to work tomorrow rather than be exhausted in the morning. Where did you go MK?

An you can't tell me you haven't been waiting for snow this whole winter so far?? No need to put a downer on it for ppl, even if I see a flake I'm guna be happy so at least be happy for the ppl who will actually wait up for the snow.. It's a waiting game as has been since day one of winter an now here we are with the right things in place maybe not everything but it's something! Have some faith.

Brilliant video

[fluid dynamic]

I very much doubt I will see any snowflakes tonight, but I have been and checked my ladders so that I can polish the lamppost glass if I have to.

 

Its been so awful weatherwise today I threw in the towel and went shopping in Kingston. Things have to be bad before I go there. Got soaked between the Cotswold shop and John Lewis. All I had to show for the episode was a soaking, a non stick baking tray, a grumpy six year old child and a hefty parking bill.

 

And work tomorrow... ho hum.

 

A cold spell with snow would cheer me up no end. Until then, chocolate and wine.

[Ǝssex Ǝasterly]

3.9c now, getting there!

 

Make that 3.8c lol

[Fatboypirate]

Barmy 4.8 on the South Coast and fairly steady, DP at 3.7 and thankfully very gentle winds!

[stun12]

I just took the bins up the drive and it's a lovely clear night, at least for the while, and 4C. I'm hoping that the wind doesn't pick up, or else I'll have to nail my 17-year old lad to the wheelie bin to stop it flying away. He is looking for work experience as part of his college course....

[scrat]

Hi guys, does anyone have a link to the Countryfile forecast, as I missed it? Cheers x

[steveinsussex]

any showers are pretty much dissipating as they cross the country before they get over here

[Flaked Queen]

As for staying up to watch for snow ... I don't sleep well as I have my mother living with us and has needs that I attend during night time so if I chose to stay up a little longer to see a glimpse of snow and I get to see a flake or 2 I'm happy so I don't see it as wasting my time !

[lottiekent]

Nothing to get excited about in this neck of the woods..down to 4.4c here.

Of course, Ryan. I adore snow and lampost watch with everyone else. And if you're happy to stay up and watch for one flake, then fair enough. All I'm saying is it will be a few flakes if we're lucky. I'm not putting a downer on things, if anything I'm being realistic and not making this into something it's not thus ending in disappointment.I'd love to see a full on blizzard, but based on NW history people have stayed up and been knackered and frustrated in the morning when the chances of snow have been far, far higher than tonight.I love snow, but staying up to maybe see a flake seems nonsensical to me. But I genuinely do wish all those who are staying up success and I would love to be proved wrong. Edited January 26, 2014 by Lauren

Sorry Scrat, I don't, but in potted form it went like this: showers tonight, perhaps wintry, back to sleet then rain tomorrow in the south, rain around on Tues and Weds turning colder Thursday onwards but cloudy and mostly dry, chance of wintry flurries, about 5/6c, at the end the forecaster Nina Ridge said they were very confident the Atlantic was coming back after the end of the week but not quite sure when.I still love your Ruskin quote by the way!AS

[alexisj9]

Still 6c here, not expecting snow, will be up if it happens though, always up late on a sunday making sure the house is sorted proper after my kids trash it over the weekend.

[Ǝssex Ǝasterly]

Down to 3.1c here now, so in for a chance of something wintry come the early morning (if I'm in the right place!)
