Return of the snow

[Max]

It's been snowing heavy here now for a few hours (I should know, they made us do PE in it )

A nice white covering Has it snowed anywhere else?

Tuesday afternoon - not much, but enough for a few REAL snowballs


IIRC, Feltham 2104 cycled home in a snow flurry on Wednesday evening

 

[Victoria-Louise]

No snow here :crybaby:

 

[Coxster]

We keep having light snow but not really enough for it to settle.

 

[devon_metro]

Lots of snow last saturday, blizzard for about 30 mins on Wednesday! Plenty of snowballs

 

[Ben]

Snowed all afternoon here.

I changed a fishplate and packed a rough ride in the snow the other day. I've been changing rails in sub zero temperatures on nights this week aswell, do you see me moaning?

 

[Gareth Hale]

Ive heard that Burnley has snow now. Wish it came here, we have Strong to Severe T-Storms in the forecast though

 

[ChrisM]

Blizzard in Bournemouth wednesday afternoon and a bit today at Fareham was about we have had.

 

[Jordy]

Yeah, just arrived here about an hour ago, is white over!

IMO, a blizzard is when the smoww is so heavy you can't see 10meters in front of you. I got caught in a hail storm a few days ago but I'm O.K. I had a shirt, fleece and a BIG gortex coat on (should do, the coat cost me 210 quid :cry. I've also been up the Wrekin in Telford (about 500 feet high), last year, in a Heavy snow storm, that was scary because I had dodgy trainers and the lane was going icy, great, down a 1 in 5 with no grip on ice..

Depends if you are on about England or not

 

[nutter]

Yeah. The closest I've been is visability to about 15m. If I went to the alps or somewhere then for me it would have to be about 5m

 

[AlexS]

Oh aye, been a crappy week with this snow! Slipping and sliding everywhere, fell on my arse twice, and to cap it all off, fatality at Bilbrook last night to contend with!

 

[jdjonnay]

Hate snow, I've had to get 3 lifts into college this week because it's too slippy for the bike, and mum's using the car

Did see an amusing car crash between 2 4x4's though, serves them right, too big for the roads. Should be banished to farms. Especially pointless mercedes ones - why would any normal person want a "posh" vehicle designed to round up sheep in the welsh hills?

What, the one on the Wolves - Shrewsbury line. That surprises me, the lines normally a quiet line which 'merges' into the background

 

[AlexS]

Yes, body reported by the driver of 2127 Bilbrook to Birmingham New Street, female jumper off Birches Bridge.

 

[nutter]

I suppose it's true, expect the unexpected. Sorry you were involved in the incident

 

[AlexS]

Not involved, just live by it

Doncaster got snow. I went into Tesco it was sunny came out every was white and it was a blizzard(i could about 5 meters infront of me) I just had my carrier bag and I was like hock: but It only lasted 30 mins but still gave a good covering, about 3/4 cm but all gone now

 

[Gareth Hale]

It has just snowed here......... It will be melted by noon though, got a high of 14C today.


Edit -- Gone out to measure it with my ruler, we have 6.5 inches.

 

[ikar]

Now snowing down here, It should be (regulary) arround 12 degrees now.

 

[metrocammel]

All snowy in Ashton yesterday.... I had the snowplough out on my G-gauge railway in the back!!! The little shunter was suffering from severe wheelslip.. but it was fun... Now its all gone though... other than a couple of icy patches in the shaded bit of the garden... I was tres annoyed yesterday when 57301 was failed on the Holyhead service (well, actually it was CDL fault throughout the mk2's - the bolts kept rapidly moving up and down when the CDL was unlocked) , as I was looking forward to getting that "Christmas Card Shot" of the 57 with a backdrop of snow at Helsby... but oh well....
