It's all health and safety now though. Like I've said before, the only time I missed school through cold, rather than snow, was in school the day before. Was cause the pipes froze in 87.

You youngsters! I remember having to keep coat and gloves on in the classroom because there was no heat, mid-70s.

[terryall]

Not a flake so far in S.E. London

[Downpour]

Light snowfall in Chingford, London E4 – proper dry snow but light so far.

To be fair a lot of things happened in the 70's that you can't do now. 

[Slinky]

Had some snow earlier now turned to rain, the snow didn't settle anyway. Not even seen a dusting for four years now.  

those that have snow make the most of it!!!

It'll be with you soon, next 15-20 minutes. Won't accumulate too much and might even be a little warm for snow now, probably end up with a sleety mix.

[craigore]

Heavy now , large flakes.

 

Not Settling 

If it had been like this first thing when ground was frozen we would be rubbing our hands together..

Temp 1.3c

[frozencanals]

the sun is trying to come out over Southend after our little snizzle shower

It was the toilet block, so there were no loos. Notice the trouble my self the day before, I don't think they had a choice.

Edit moderate snow now, falling on ice, so should get a dusting, and start slipping everywhere.

Had a good hour of fairly wet snow here - a very light dusting on the ground. The front seems to be narrowing and clearing through quite quickly now, I'd imagine we will be back to dry weather and sunshine by 11am. Nice to see a bit of the white stuff, even if it's a fairly piddly amount!

[Captain Shortwave]

still snowing here but it is of the wet variety so there is nothing on the ground.

Patience.

[Ivan Dobsky]

Moderate snow now and strong winds, starting to settle.

[sawboinsider]

Shame this particular amount of snow falling and wind, couldn't just persist for several hours on end.

ok, lol, there was never heating in the toilet block, it was an old rickety wooden structure and the wind came in the gaps where the wood slats had slipped, there was often ice in the bowl in winter. We also had scratchy loo paper which didn't wipe anything, it was like tracing paper.

 

Someone is going to say that when they were young, they lived in a cardboard box in the middle lane of the m1.

I don't want the main band to get here, it will all be rain by then.

Lol scratchy toilet paper, that stuff was awful.

 

Talking of toilet blocks..........How is our block looking on the models?

[Daniel*]

Refreshing to see

All our region looks set to see some of the white stuff.

Just caught some flakes in the air...
