Snowing again in Sevenoaks. Laying on the cars and quite blustery.

Nothing here near Derby, clear blue skies and lovely out, though a tad breezy. The BBC are telling me I mustn't leave home or I will die.

Took this just now in Bury St Edmunds but the roads are fairly clear and doesn't appear to be settling.

Well that big red area posted earlier from the radar was a big no show of anything. Except it's cold, recycling bin day, so bins and contents are cartwheeling down the road.

Well it has been a disappointment , is it time for the summer thread yet! no more potential snow in the near future is there! I am blaming Puggit for this one!
Agreed. Puggit knew that it was going to be disappointing. So, he fled abroad. The charlatan!

Forgive me PH, for I have sinned.

I read this post, checked Puggit's profile and saw he was from Berkshire, and so concluded he must be abroad.

Do these thoughts make me a bad man?

Some hopeful signs that we'll see more wintry weather. Updates when necessary!

Loafer's post is just weird...

It's inescapable isn't it? everything is always someone else's fault, no one ever takes any personal responsibility any more. If that had happened to me, it just wouldn't occur to me to blame the council, seriously or otherwise. Perhaps it's me that's not thinking right, and it is the councils fault?

Hopefully the son will get a lecturing and even a due care charge. That will point out who was to blame...

Had to reply to his tweet:

@Cappo: Definitely 100% the council's fault, your boy is blameless, sue the hell out of them.

Always someone else's fault, instead of considering the possibility that his darling lad might have been driving too fast for the conditions and ttted it all by himself.

Hopefully the youngster has learnt something from it.

Blimey, just got up to leave for next destination on my USA trip, the car is showing -10 DF, which i believe is around -24 Celsius!!

Its bloody cold, and still snow on the roads which is now ice!
