Remember this I posted before the last snow we had?

Well I've still got some of that lot left so maybe time to dig in. 

[CheesepuffScott 1,369]

2 massive tubes of Pringles original, a big bar of dairy milk fruit and nut chocolate, wine gums, Ribena and Coca Cola. Ready!

[Mike Poole 26,773]

Finally - proper snow in Wantage.  All day snow has been blowing in the wind but now - NOW - it's looking more like it and has started to settle on the edges of things, if that makes any sense!  

More on immediate radar, and on the basis of models am expecting the heaviest falls later, midnight-ish.  Hoping for about 8cm at best though.

[CheesepuffScott 1,369]

Oh; also two packs of Maryland cookies. It'll be a gym week next week in that case. oh well.

Snow getting slightly heavier now. My met office weather app is pants, not even supposed to be snowing at the moment lol. #nowcast 

Looks like there's a big area building and intensifying over us.

Cider, some more cider, more cider and some cider.

 

[Nick Croker 34]

Bacon, honey sausages, eggs, beans and a nice crusty loaf ready for a snowy cooked breakfast, well at least that's what i'm hoping for.

Damn I was being sensible with just a couple bottles of Wyld Wood,  on the second already ...

[CheesepuffScott 1,369]

Oh McDonalds monopoly starts up again Wednesday so I am getting fat either way!

No need for sensibilities when its snowing.

Is there something wrong with the radar around Winchester or are they really that unlucky there?

This was the view from my bed during the last lot of snow, perfectly positioned bed and the council replaced the lamp outside with white LED, perfick 

And your cat looking as perplexed as mine were too- especially when I opened the door! Something half as good as that fall would be fantastic! Think the heaviest and most prolonged stuff will fall south of Wales- so good luck to you lot on the peninsula!

[That ECM 7,747]

Heavy snow that was forecast by the met for here in the morning is now light snow for a few hours. Still time for it change again tho.

[wiltshire weather 341]

Our broadband is still out so relying on mobile signal. Heavier snow has now reached us from the east and is beginning to cover everything.

Bottle of Shiraz opened ready for an evenings radar watching

Odd thing is though, our local Co-op isn't running low on things like soup. Its bread, milk, booze. And not in that order.
