We have had a very light covering over the past few days.  Blowing through snow a couple of times today, but nothing much to speak of.

The dog likes it though....  She looks like Tigger on speed, the way she bounds through the snow covered grass.....

Currently snowing in Albemarle and Spadeadam.

See: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/observations/index.html

There's an area of precipitation heading down from Scotland. Don't know how much snow there could be as it could intensify or die out as it heads South.

Radar here: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/radar/index.html

True  :y But normally for the UK to get low temps as -10C etc, which we are approaching at night at the mo....it needs clear skies....hence no clouds so no snow.....Clouldy skies would mean warmer weather.... ie -1/-2/-3 during the night......

So saying its too cold to snow.....depends where you are in the world i guess  :y :) :)

Just noticed on the Met Office site that it's currently -11.1 at Benson in Oxfordshire.  :o :o

This will be the coldest night of the year for us southerners.

So you haven't got a gritter attachment for the Segway? :o

-8.6 and counting here. Chucked about 10 kilos of coal in the grate and lit it earlier so we've been toasty all evening. Roasted chestnuts too. :-*

My beer fridge in the (attached to house) garage is now showing zero degrees. It's normally at 5.
