Same here bright and cold, but not as cold as yesterday.

I'm up in Inverurie today.

.......cue the catastrophising
waiting for the lame stream media, arctic blast, killer chills, climate emergency guff...............perhaps they can turn up the gaslighting and melt it all

No mention of those roads which are guaranteed to be "treacherous"? Cold here, but not as cold as yesterday and no sign of snow beyond a light dusting (famous last words!)

I’m off to bike night tonight, on me bike. Currently 1° but there’s no ice anywhere, puddles aren’t freezing etc. Yet….

What terms will the media use?

Weather bomb?

Winter death storm?

Snowmagedon!

I'm almost glad to be off work on the sick at the moment, there's a lot to be said for sitting in front of a roaring log fire .

Me too, I'm going under the knife on Thursday, provided they don't postpone due to bad weather.

Well let's face it "The wrong type of snow" or Two many leaves on the line"....

We've heard it all before....

This morning it was sleeting as I was climbing a large oak in the Shhole of Slough, but soon turned to drizzle. Too warm for any proper snow to settle however all my kit got soaked, gloves included and my hands frozen. At 1pm I had enough and packed away my kit for the long drive home.

 

[Robotstar5]

Got up to see this....

Still snowing a bit, but the roads were clear.

Local news and social media were listing all the schools that were shut, in the 60's we would walk the mile or so to school whatever the weather as the schools never closed, even if the heating failed you got your coat from the cloakroom and carried on.

Nothing here in North Kent, just been steadily raining all day. Enough to stop me doing anything outside.

Which is just as well, as I have got Manflu at the moment, and you all know serious that can be !

 

[CompoSimmonite]

We had a decent amount - but are at 900 feet in base of Peak District so not uncommon when 5 miles away in the city they just get a sprinkling ! At least, being retired, no need to go out the door

Your school had heating @Robotstar5 ? a tortoise or small oil stove was the limit in ours
You could get the tortoise glowing red hot with a bit of over fueling but the rest of the room was still freezing
Only light rain all day yesterday, same as today

 

[Robotstar5]

We had the gurt big cast iron jobbies, the boiler would invariably fail as soon as the temperature dropped.

We had a tortoise stove at school, it was great if you put a rubber on it, no-one ever told who

 

[Arc Tourist]

Began snowing briefly this afternoon. Just what I was hoping not to see, as this weekend I have a concrete pump and 10 cubic metre pour scheduled.

 

[Dozzer]

Nothing in north Essex.
I can remember walking to primary school in the early 70's with my mates, we would have snowball fights all the way and arrive late and a bit wet
it was only about a mile.

In early 1960's my village junior school had such stove in wooden classrooms / huts - you roasted if near stove and frozen if by windows. We had wax crayons in tobacco tins so you had to be careful with them otherwise somebody would put them on the stove so they melted into one big blob if left unattended.

Nathan Rao has got your back. He was a legend at the Daily Excess but he has moved on to sunnier climes to enjoy real fame on Channel 5 news and even the august GB News. I am slightly disappointed as he has toned down his armageddon weather schtick for the TV. He was legendary at the Excess though, I doubt he and Liam Dutton exchange Christmas cards, an arctic blast between them apparently.

A MILE! Good god man, are you mad?! Little Tarquin can't possibly walk such a colossal distant, it requires a specialized 4x4 at minimum to protect him from the potentially deadly weather out there.

That was the message I got from the local news presenter shown stood at the side of a clear road and 1/2" of snow on the pavement.
