Same here in Maidenhead, even had the patio doors open for the afternoon whilst "working from home".

We had another storm roll through all day yesterday and through the night.



I was working last night. These two were taken up on Vail Pass - Interstate 70 is out there somewhere!

It must get quite tasty chasing the bad guys round those rounds in a big old rwd interstate cruiser!!

Yep. AWD with a 5.7 liter/ litre Hemi. It drinks fuel up here though - my average is about 11mpg (US).

It's pretty good in the snow. Only gets stuck in really deep drifts.

I saw the weather report and heard about it being a bit comedy near Vail; figured you'd have some good pics.

Swinging back to warm here today, Netweather suggesting highs of 17 degrees!

Yep, large area of low pressure of our Atlantic coast sucking the warmth up from down south. A temporary blip - similar to Ophelia last year.

Indications remain for high pressure to remain to our NE - normally this would amplify the chances of cold (and snow...) significantly, but the season is early and I suspect Europe/Russia isn't cold enough.

O/T - have you done a 'Reader's Rides' for it? I think it would be quite popular.

So if it's amber, it's going to be biblical!

Winds proper picked up

[colin_p]

It is a bit damp. Warm though.

Lashing it down in MK. Sideways at times. Annoyingly I've got a mega cold/flu at the minute, I should be out training in that.

Snowing again in Colorado. 2-6 inches expected where I am, though probably a lot more where Bertie is. About quarter of an inch settled so far, though it is expected to snow all day.
