And what do you reckon of us getting much snow tonight? I'm watching the radar and the window but nothing as of yet....currently -1.5 outside....bitterly wind!

Microscopic flakes landing on the window here so I'm sure it will get to you soon! You always have much more up there! yahoo.gif

Light snow here in north Dorset.

Current temp -1.2c.

Glad to see you are still below freezing, here in the East our temps are rising I am already at 2.0c - areas further East are reporting a thaw, beware!!

Currently extremely light snow here. Can only see the odd tiny flake twinkle as it passes a lamp post atm. Had a 5 minute heavier flurry about an hour ago but just been like this since. Really have to concentrate to see anything!

Edit: literally a minute after I posted this, the snow got slightly heavier :) It's now just "light snow" instead of "extremely light" :)

off topic i have a laptop and my fan is a bit noisy does anyone else have the same.

processor probs just getting a bit hot so the fan's running faster, especially if one of the air vents is blocked by something (i.e. if it's on your lap and one of the vents is on the bottom?). Otherwise could be a whole load of other things :)

Mine gets louder the hotter it gets, it gets really hot because its always on my lap. Should probably put it on a table so the air can circulate better.

Shouldn't be a problem, it'll just be noisy until you give it some air tongue.gif

good :) anyway its always been noisy although recently the fan stopped working so it got v hot and shut down but then i thought i would get a vaccume cleaner and loads of dust came out then it worked fine again and is much faster than it was so surely its gunna be fine now even if its noisy andis better for cooling it down.

Edit Light snow becoming heavier but still light.

I used to be a junior technician in the tech guys section at the local pc world (I know, I know, boo - hiss) and we used to see this all the time. Whip the back off the laptop, quick blast with an air compressor and all is well again. You can get cans of compressed air for a couple of quid now, always good to keep one handy to get rid of dust.

Snow still just as it was before, light and nothing substantial.

Anyway, I'm fed up with watching almost nothing falling so I'm off to bed. Night all! :)
