  1. Has anywhere in the country been buried yet? Or had 5cm even? I was just looking at the photos in my Album from 22/23 March 2013, now that was an event and almost a month later than this 'Beastly Attack' The farmers had to dig the roads out and a couple of miles away on the back roads towards Holmfirth it was like driving through tunnels 2 and 3 times highrer than the car. This event isn't really worth the noise its getting, but i suppose the South is forecast a covering so the sensationalism goes wild.
  2. So the 'Beast' turns up sporting a pink hoody, skinny jeans and pristinely groomed facial hair. So far the beast is a bit of a snowflake. Its been snowing in some form non stop since yesterday afternoon and still theres only a good covering. I've never seen so many different types of snow, last night was constant sparkling talcum powder. The Beast is coming.....Be afraid they said. I've got 40 gallons of milk in the back yard, i thought it would be frozen day and night but the suns turning it to cottage cheese.
  3. Thats the end, its finally stopped with a total just shy of 16cm. Could do with it freezing now. https://forum.netweather.tv/gallery/image/20550-/
  4. Over 13cm now and still coming down nicely. https://forum.netweather.tv/gallery/image/20549-penistone-boxing-day-snow/
  5. Was expecting it to ease off at anytime but its become heaviest its been all night. Its getting blown around now and coming down horizontal I cant believe how much snow is on the ground, if it carries on a bit longer there'll be 15cm on the wheelybin.
  6. Winter wonderland outside the kitchen window. https://forum.netweather.tv/gallery/image/20548-/
  7. https://forum.netweather.tv/gallery/image/20547-/ 11cm on the wheely bin, been snowing now for 4 hours and its still coming down steadilly. Exceeded the MetO's 10cm and still going. Snowplow/gritter has passed twice now but not plowing or gritting here, must be heading straight out to the M1.
  8. Its getting a bit heavier, theres now 10cm on the wheelybin, temp still 0.5C. https://forum.netweather.tv/gallery/image/20544-/
  9. https://forum.netweather.tv/gallery/image/20541-penistone-boxing-day-snow/
  10. Stuck the steel rule in the wheelybin, just over 6cm. Bright orange sky and looking good for sledging with the twins tomorrow.
  11. Still coming down at the same rate here, nice steady snowfall. Temps dropped to 0.5C now. Car tracks on the main Sheffield road are quickly covered over, cars are passing very slowly Still not a gritter in sight, the local council depot is just down the road from here and theres no activity from there.
  12. Beautiful orange sky. Fully covered now, even the main Sheffield road is covered and surprisingly no gritters have been out today. Shame it didn't come a day earlier.
  13. Snowing here now for past half hour and getting heavier, settling too, wheelybins covered and settling on paths. Temps at 1.1C and dropping, was 4.2C an hour ago.
  14. Yep, especially when we've seen in previous winters how quickly the signal can change. The thing that worries me at the moment is the lack of cold across most of Europe, the UK has been recording lower temps than much of the continent. I'll be happier when widespread cold arrives in Europe and we'll see what happens from there, its not just our little island thats missing out. We're still in December, theres plenty of time left yet and like you say, its a brave man who can write off the next 3months.
  15. That sounds about right then for 1st signs around the 6th, i remember being back at work the 2nd week in Jan and confidence grew quickly, then we had the 1st taste of a few inches of snow on the 19th and a big dumping on the 21st and a spell of about 10days with frequent snow showers. I recall the turnaround being sudden, it was a quick change from nothing like now to a good cold spell with nice snow amounts. I remember METO's 16-30 day outlook for the time stating their usual carefully worded play it safe 'uncertainty for the period, with the trend for temps to be around or slightly below average'
