Shaftesburydelightski

Yes it's great for any snow around! Before moving here I lived in Yorkshire at 300m and Shaftesbury comes a close second, but with much better summers!!

Reached the dizzy heights of 0°c, frost on cars but still a strong wind with a high windchill. Off to Cornwall for few days in the warm!!

Not posted for a while but with colder weather now here it's a good time! Currently 2.6°c with a gusty wind, if anything falls it's likely to be white rather than wet, hopefully, at my height of 217m. Main thing is that at least the floods won't get worse!!

Still quite a bit of lying snow, foggy and drizzling, temperature 0.6c don't think we will get anymore but won't stop me lamp post watching! Most snow for at least 4 years

Sorry not the best but not going out as only slippers on!

Dustbin lid!!!

Winter wonderland here in Shaftesbury with around 8cms level on the dustbin and on the windows, currently -0.1c snowing lightly and windy. Great start to the day

Hi everyone, been a while since I posted but we had the first real snow this morning and currently temperature has fallen to 4c and thinking at the moment that we will see some more here in Shaftesbury where the height of 220m asl will help. No point in watching forecasts or the models as all too close to call, window model is the best!! Been lucky this year to have seen the Northern Lights, the permanent night of an arctic day in temperature that was -32 on the coldest day. Don't think we will get that in Dorset!!

Just returned from a week in Abisko and Kiruna, northern Sweden. Beautiful snow and mountains plus the famous Aurora lights! Temperature varied from -5 to -15 during the day in Abisko and -10 to -20 at night. Kiruna, home to the Ice Hotel was -32 on Sunday with 15cms of snow overnight. That's my snow fix for the next 10 years at least! Just outside the polar night but strange being in light but with no shadows

Temperature 3.6c, hazy with pockets of frost left in the fields. More of a breeze this morning which made it chilly out of the sun. Beautiful morning's dog walk, heard a least 2 woodpeckers and had close contact with a couple of buzzards (Ice thinks he can fly). Looking set, dry and ok for the week.

First post for a week as not a lot to say! Rain has been wet, wind has been very windy at times and the temperature has been consistent mild mush the whole week. In short boring and not used friendly at all. This morning's dog walk was very wet underfoot, bog like at times, mild, rain in the air with a cloud base around 900'. Current temperature 9c, ugh

Totally different walk this morning, still chilly at 1.6c with a cold wind, ground still frozen but the driving horizontal drizzle was most unwelcome. I fear it will be the norm for sometime to come. Happier with a dry, mild period but not relentless rain please!

Light and powdery and starting to stick on all surfaces, being blown around in the wind. Temperature -0.3 still. Pleasant surprise just need a few more hours please!

Cadbury update. Eaten and really nice and fattening. Also can confirm actual white stuff falling from the sky!

I think the only flake I am likely to see this afternoon is a Cadburys!
