The official winter 2016/2017 snow thread....

That's five days this week of frost scraping, here in sunny Sussex. Might have to build a car port next year.

bd cold is what it is. Pretty sunsets and dawns, mind, but brass monkeys too.

Plenty more frosts to come

Cold and clear suits me fine. Snow's just a bonus.

[Shaw Tarse]

Cold & clear is much better than damp & grey!

warm and wet is a NORMAL English winter, always has been and always will be (modern times anyway)

Plus, we changed the calendar in 1740, which whilst that didn't change the severity of the winter, it pushed it back a few weeks. It explains why traditionally we think of a white Christmas, but we don't actually have white Christmases.

I don't want any more frosts,I'm frozen.

Leaving home last couple of mornings temperature near Plymouth has been clear skies and +3 above freezing with no frost at all. By the time I reach Exeter its plummeted to minus 4

Remember that period around xmas when it was dull for weeks down south and the north enjoyed sun.

Well,

...right back at ya

[Puggit]

Still blue down south. Amusingly Mrs Puggit just washed her car (first time EVER) and then asked me to come downstairs and help with the frozen hosepipe, she couldn't rinse the soap off the car. I'm afraid I'm not helping with that

Pretty clear near Farnborough a couple of hours ago, my camera (Phone) and use there of are pretty poor though!

My outside tap at the front has just burst its pipe due to the cold

[Dog Star]

Up north (Rossendale and Leeds) I've seen very few frosts this winter - maybe 3? I've not had to wear a coat going to work apart from maybe 5 times. It's very warm. My daffodils are coming up too.

I'm off to Gibraltar with work next week - it's actually colder (see pics ^^^ of snow in Spain) so I will need my coat.

Yep 2nd day of lovely sunshine down south. Even got a bit sweaty doing my outdoor work today which is very unusual. Spring is in the air

Any snow can fk off now

The last day or so has got to the time consuming level of snow clearing. Not sure of the proper depth but somewhere around thigh height where it is just sitting around normally, and the shoveled piles are now going into the greater than head height levels. Plus looks like more to come in the next few days.

[FiF]

So Nokian better appoint a dealer in the Sahara now, kids sledging down a snow covered sand dune , up to 1 metre in the Sahara. This is now taking the piss.


Algeria ffs.

^^ Holy crap , all ours is currently melting . Sadly winter here will be back in anger all too soon for a few more months .

[schmalex]

Whilst it hasn't been a snow-fest so far this winter, the weather in this neck of the woods (North Hampshire) has been stunning for most of January. We've had many frosts, as well as a bit of snow last week and crystal clear blue sky days. I've currently got ice 5" thick on the garden pond, one of the water pipes to outside tap has burst (my fault for not draining it). It was -7.5c at 0830 this morning when I was training at the village hall and got to a maximum of 0.7c all day. If I can't have snow, give me weather like this anytime and I'm a happy man.
