The official winter 2015/2016 snow thread. (Ahem...)

Pretty nasty right now, the roads haven't been plowed and there's about 5" so far.
I had to go to the post office and was sliding around all over the place. fortunately I picked a time when the roads were fairly clear so apart from the fact that half the time I had no real idea where the kerbs were, it was quite fun.



Lots of blowing snow.

Judging from friends in Colorado we'll probably lost jimmyjimjim in a huge pile of snow now!

Snow forecast for the Scottish mountains


Which might be good timing as I'm parked up 50m from the lift at Glencoe in the snug & warm camper ready for the morning pow assuming it wont be blowing a gale in the morning like it is now. Spring snow skiing today & not bad weather, turned wet as we came off the mountain which was snow higher up. Might, just might be a good dump of pow for the morning....

Well, I've more than 3 foot of drifting snow in my back garden and it's still coming, so not far off it. Bloody glad I went out in the morning, doubt I'd have made it now.

It's still coming down!

[jimmyjimjim]

Well that's the most wet snow I've ever shovelled. I've done a similar amount of powder, but that's nothing in weight terms. 3' deep in places and I was completely shattered when done.

I give up, buying a snow blower now.

It turns out to have been a record; most snow ever on March 23rd in Denver - 12.1".

Closer to 18" where we are.

Parker. Other side of Denver to the people's republic.

Meanwhile, we have a yellow warning for wind for Sat...

We had some nice snow yesterday, and then it got a bit better weather today again, so walked up another mountain.

It's due to snow in the Alps...

[jimmyjimjim]

And it's due to lay down another 8" tonight into tomorrow morning.

Oh and there's another storm system due to hit next week.

I was beginning to wonder what had happened to the snowiest month...

In like a lamb, out like a lion.

Snow and horizontal hail up on the moors yesterday. Good test of winter clothing! 1c up top, 7c down in Buxton.

[jimmyjimjim]

Well, it only put down 3" on Saturday, but we've more due in a couple of days...

[NRS]

Warmed up loads here to around a toasty 5C, with lots of wind and rain. Really destroying all the nice snow we had. Also the conditions have resulted in some big avalanches in some parts too. Certainly a day for relaxing at home!

[jimmyjimjim]

Warming up here too, at least until the next storm.

Oh dear.

[YorkshirePudding]

Just started snowing in and around Halifax,

[cptsideways]

Lots of snow being reported from the Scottish ski resorts, think they have a powder week ahead


And I'm working!
