Nobody here needs a train today, do they? Just used a couple this lunchtime. To be honest there aren't any problems up where I am . The is no more snow on the hills than one might expect in a cold winter, and it is actually distinctly warmer than it was at the start of the week - the frost that had been around since Sunday night has thawed and the few snow showers that we were supposed to get today have not materialised. Central Scotland seems to be sitting in some sort of climate bubble I guess. Maybe we are at the eye of the big swirly space-time thingy? Karl |

Winter wonderland round here! Me and The Piglet had a long play in a field near where we live. Snowball fights, built a snow man (first one I've built in years and years!), and ate sum snow. Well, the Sprog did most of the snow eating, despite my best efforts to stop her! Marvelous time! Hope it all clears for work tmw though. I'm on an early whirly.

No snow here. The rain melted all the frost and ice making it safe to walk on the pavements again, but now the freezing fog is back and it appears to have brought its mates. The weather this week has reeked non-stop.

I have to say that I am quite enjoying this evenings spell of weather. Most of the frost has lifted here, leaving just enough to leave things looking interesting, bit we now have some rather atmospheric mist that has descended to cloak Falkirk.
I suspect I might be slightly unusual that I prefer wintery weather to summer in many ways. I just think winter makes the world a bit more interesting somehow.

I do like wintery weather as well, a slight chill and frosty ground (not slipply) makes for the best weather for walking I find. Very relaxing.

There is indeed something cosey about winter. I hate the dark nights though. And the ice makes for more crashed cars and broken hips.

It's a fucking monsoon outside Turnbull Towers right now - I was going to pop out for a bit - not now though!

It was a monsoon this morning. Calmed down now, though bloody cold.

It's the monsoons again in Dunfermline, and again I have to brave the elements.
Booo!

Been a bit cold and slippery in the early hours around here which is not the kind of weather that I want when I'm waiting for a bus for work. One day last week we had about five minutes of snow but it didn't settle due to the ground being wet.

I'm glad my London trip was last week, rather than this. I have to laugh, though. There was a reporter in Kent this morning, where she said the snow was being called (though I didn't catch by who) an "extreme weather event". She said there were two inches of snow. That's not extreme, it's unusual. There are some parts of the country where two inches would barely earn a mention. When I was living in Stirling, we had far more than that and Stirling's hardly the harshest part of the country. Tch! Southern softies of the London media in their little bubble!
The snow's due to be further west this evening. I hope my train to Birmingham is running tomorrow.

I remember a year where it was cold enough that the Forth froze from bank to bank at Stirling. Now that was extreme weather. As it stands it isn't so bad up here at the moment. We've had about an inch of snow if that. Confusingly the media keep telling me that the entire country is paralysed by the terrible weather, yet looking out the window it doesn't seem any worse than an average winter. There is enough snow to make an appealing dusting, and to require caution on untreated roads, but nothing of epic world-ending levels.

I can't say that it's particularly bad here. The snow seems much lighter than the weather we had around this time two years ago. That said, I'm stuck at home - the trains into London have been cancelled.

It's blizzarding like nuts outside at the moment in Edinburgh. I keep expecting a man from the future to be hazily visible giving instructions to double-jointed aliens.

Whilst a few miles north in the Falkirk zone there is no sign of any snowfall at all. The drop in temperature has prevented any further melting, so we may hang on to the couple of inches that we have for a little longer, but it doesn't seem to be in any hurry to provide us with any more snow.

The few inches of snow that we did have have been long melted by the rain here - even freezing overnight wasn't enough to save it.

This is what we had in Suffolk yesterday:  The car in the foreground is Gina's and we cleared the snow off all the windows when we attempted to drive to work but the snow kept falling thereby covering it up again.  That snow must have been over 6 inches deep.   The ruler shows the snow was 5 inches deep on the ground.   Those icicles were about a foot long. |<o>| |

Damn you sir for such a fine snowfall.
In the end we got barely over an inch here by the looks of things.
