All the folks in Brighton are complaining that the snow is "way too white"
They are campaigning for more inclusive snow in future

Give it a day. It will soon be slush

Around here,West Lancs we had a dusting of snow on sunday afternoon & it froze hard overnight.Monday was freezing but blue skies
The roads were slick with black ice,hopefully it'll thaw by the weekend & I'll be riding along here on one of my Suzuki's,not today though



The Leeds-Liverpool canal was frozen over



Yesterday was a proper blue sky winters day,I did a 17KM walk in the winter sunshine,it's nice when all the mud's frozen.It froze again last night.So glad I took early retirement & not trucking in this!

A very light dusting yesterday on the tops of the Downs and a bitterly hard frost this morning.

Was minus 4 when I woke up, so I went hback to sleep. Eventually left for wak at 09;30 and it wasn't to bad a ride in if a bit chilly. Then snow hit central London around midday, so I went home again. What waste of time that was!

I hate cold weather with a passion. I hate being cold. I hate wearing too much clothing and the restriction in movement that causes. I hate the grey and dirty look of everything. I look forward to spring and the rising temperatures, the return of foliage and blooming flowers etc.

It's a bit chilly here today. There was ice outside first thing, it's only 7⁰ now.

Storm Goretti coming this weekend for you southern monkeys.

22c here

A dusting of snow here, lots of hard ice on the ground though. That will either thicken or disappear with the light rain overnight. Warming up here at the moment. Friday morning will be 30C for me in Johannesburg. Ahhhh.

I enjoyed that

I didn't....

More coming thursday night apparently. 🌨🌨

Wet n pissy last night and will be wet n pissy Thursday .

According to my van it's -8 centigrade out there. It's quite lovely, very pretty and crisp.

Woohoooo - it's snowing up in resort !!! It's a bit of a shit for the ski touring plans I had with a mate for the morning!! But bloody brilliant for the resort

It's been about minus 8 (a bit more a bit less) most mornings down here, but I've just been waiting for snow!!!

We had some, bit north of us got some at the weekend, we had some Monday and Tuesday, rain washed it all away last night

Yayyy. Finally after a month of beautiful cold sunshine, IT'S SNOWING !!!!!

It was snowing at home when I left this morning (a bit before 7am) and when I drove down the mountain this afternoon it was a bit 'interesting' !!! And they haven't ploughed the road by my place but it is great to have a load of snow!!! Probably between 4 & 6 inches when I got home and it's been chucking it down for the last two hours, so more now !!!

Well it's been pissy and wet here all day, I was just going to make a voodoo doll of the weather guessers, but lo and behold;

I just had one of the worst rides I've ever had! Bitterly cold driving rain, through very heavy traffic and a constantly misting visor which i couldn't open as the driving rain was hitting me like air icy gun pellets! My waterproof trousers gave up and I had to keep lifting my arms up to let the water run back out of my gloves! Was I glad to walk into my cosy little house!

It's not incontinence, honest!

Snow update. It might snow tonight, but then again it might not.
All depends on if it snows or not...

Your freakishly long toes just made me a little sick in my mouth.
