Now surely this isn't right! Snow in the middle of November. Starting to settle as well, on top of alot of rain, which means when it stops tonight someone time it's going to freeze over :x

Anybody else got snow ? I mean the chances of a white christmas now is still very low but thats Global Warming for you! ;)

It's apparently been caused by the rain getting so cold, with the winds flowing around a LOW. The good news seems to be that the North Sea, being warmer than the mainland, is heating up the air so it's rain, rain, rain for a while. Until a HIGH comes in!

Just incase the snow doesn't make it to North East Hampshire, can I enter my Snow Monster from February? He's got like arms and everything (and yes, that is part of a floppy disc for a nose) :p

Snow can be expected between October and April
November is quite late, there has usually been at least one snowfall by now
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Getting quite heavy now
That's not snow, that's dust!
Snow to me is when it is up to the bottom of the doors on my car

We did have snow up here (Aberdeenshire), with very high winds and gusts last week, so yes the shed did come up off the ground and thrown it around the place, so dented it alot, and all the crap that was in it all over the place Pics below:

Also while posting this, there's a pics i'll upload too, lol there was a fire in the town (Peterhead) 6 mile away, so thought i'd take it, just wish it was coming out the top of a 37 or something :D lol

All the pics taken with my phone, that why the crap quality.

Nice coverage of snow here, made getting back from work a tad fun!

I drive a Toyota MR2 so its rear wheel drive,mid engine(i.e.Behind you) & so lots of snaking down the road everytime you try to apply power. Oh Joy!

Which of the three generations of MR2 is it? Methinks someone is a little overpaid...

Now, honestly, how many times have you just booted it deliberately to get a silly grin on? :D
Our vans are rear wheel drive which translates as "Low friction surface = Instant abuse" 8-)

Snow's gone again. It was raining this morning, so it's all melted.
No doubt it'll probably be back soon though.

Went out to put some stuff in the bin last night, and it was that sort of rain where it really feels like it could start snowing any minute (really cold, big drops, not fast). Put my airband radio on to get the East Midlands ATIS and they were reporting light rain and snow, temperature +1, runway wet wet wet.

Just rain here all day, yet later in the week we will have wind from the north. Maybe just maybe a white Christmas anyone?
