Anyone see lightning just then? Sky lit up purple to my west.

Weird. 15 odd minutes ago the missus (currently thoroughly fed up with me and anything weather related) said she saw a strange light out of the patio window which caught her eye.

Put vaseline around your door to stop it sticking shut! Window too, if you want to open it at any stage during this freeze.

How far in land is the freezing rain likely to get? As far as here or more confined to coasts?

Just popping in from the Scottish thread - not had time to look at any regionals due to the incredible snow totals all over Scotland! (including mine - pictures/video below!) Please tell me you all got snow in here and that it was indeed an epic blizzard!? Will have a proper browse at the pictures/posts tomorrow! 

:cold:

Anyone know how to reduce the size of videos? I've got one to post but won't let me. Cheers.

Upload it to Google Drive or a video sharing platform, and then paste the link. It will embed the video to the forum. I don't click 'download' links to videos here, it's not safe to be fair.

Just seen reports of the freezing rain. Stay indoors and stay safe, you might get away with ignoring warnings for snow, being out in a ice storm is the last thing you ever want to do.

It's difficult to take photo's of it at night. I can assure you, you don't want this! Everything is getting plastered in it - horrible stuff!

we are still meant to get a lot more snow here! about 2 inches in ground and 8 inch drifts! If the ice storm got this far north, would it melt all the snow?
