    I know some of us already have snow, and it looks like most of us have it coming, so I thought I would post a wee thread where we can post when it arrives, how bad, photos, stories etc.

    I love to see snow, and would be more than happy to get snowed in for a weekend, but sadly we are not likely to get that sort of amount so it is only likely to lead to a hard weekend at working extra hours for me.

      Its been here since Tuesday. It snowed Monday but melted more or less immediately, settled on Tuesday, still here, forecast to come back on Friday.

      Its brilliant. Will be going sledging on the hills at the weekend with a bit of luck.

          Nice thread FC ... I shall be looking in to see the photos. We don't get snow, and rarely frost perhaps one or two mornings, but I love looking at it! :ThankYou:

            Here in leicestershire it has been snowing lightly since late afternoon, everywhere looks white. Snow wasnt expected until tomorrow mid day. Looks like 6" forecast could happen. Normally rarely get a covering.

                We have a bit at the moment. Not looking forward to driving in the am. Can stay put at the weekend for the most part so not bothered if it chucks it down then........

                          Great photos so far - I will endeavour to try and get some if (when) we get snow tomorrow.

                          Stay safe everyone :grphg:

                            In case I was unaware that there is snow outside, some kind local kid has took it upon himself to ensure that I know, by throwing a snowball at the front window.

                              Ozzy's favourite thing to do in the garden at the moment is to eat the snow :wallbanging: I've told him to leave the yellow snow alone, but he just keeps adding to it :whistle:
                              He made me shiver just now, silly billy laid full length in it - good job he's already been "vacated" in a certain area! :ouch1:
