Snow Watch

Had about 6 inches or so of very fine powdery snow. Currently sunny but looking very dark over towards the east. The fieldfare has spent the morning eating apples which are lying on top of the hedge, so in a bit I will go out and see if I can find more under the snow to put there.

 

Well we got dumped on this morning. Blizzards, drifting, roads closed,abandoned trucks,cars on roofs etc.

Still snowing about a foot so far....

 

Well it's been on and off here all day but with sun but now it's coming heavy and sticking

 

Quite bad on the main roads here, i was lucky to get the car back home from taking my wife to work, ive got to pick her back up at 7.30 i do hope the main roads are clear by then ,

No rest for nurses shes expected to walk even though its a 12 mile round trip.

 

Hi @martin-f I do hope your roads keep mainly clear for you and your wife plus other staff members do excellent work ..12 mile trip that's a lot ...my fingers are for you mate

 

It's "Groundhog Day!"

After more snow over-night and another "flurry" around 11.00 am. We're now looking much like we were, yesterday afternoon.

 

And it just keeps falling -4 at the moment- anyone fancy a toboggan race

 

Reminds me of when we lived in a house on a side road off the main road around the Great Malvern. We had a similar sort of view from our garden. We had solid fuel central heating. You had to order enough of it in October, to last you through to March, in case the coal wagon couldn't get back up our side road to the main road after a delivery.

 

Where are you Tam? Are you in that part of Scotland with a red weather warning? If so wrap up warm and take care.

 

We're lower than you here Bee in temps -5 ....and we're on the off see you later

Hazardous journey back.....from perfect sunshine the world had turned white inside 15 minutes. Sunny again now but this is the thickest snow we have had down here for a dozen years. Tomorrow will be much worse!!!!
Not much more than 2 degrees above freezing even in the sunshine
In town I felt so sorry for a guy huddled in a closed down shop doorway.......took him into local Spoons. How can people live on the streets in these conditions????

 

Well done Verdun for your kind action to support that guy. It shouldn't happen in the UK, we are not a Third World Country, or are we?
I always give either money or food & drink if I see them.

 

@Verdun I hope it doesn't get to heavy for you in your area

That's good of you mate with that chap but your on about this but if my hubby goes up town he buys them a cup of tea/coffee and an hot jacket potato...he gave a fur parker to one man there as he came back for it, as the one he had was thread bare

 

nice bit of snow



Something to keep you warm
