RichardB Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Everything from forest fires to arctic conditions I suppose. 4-5 inches of snow in Wallsend, snowing lightly at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 About 3 inches up here at the moment, occasional light flurries. I don't think there's much expected now until Sunday night/Monday morning. The fall earlier in the week was good, daughter and grand-daughter were here, and 18-month-old Sophie had her first experience of snow. She built her first snowman (with a lot of help!) and thought sledging was great, even if it was only being pulled round the back garden by willing grandparents.

vox Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Mrs Vox went to London to see a play a few days ago. Due back tonight if the trains are running. Her journey will involve: Train to Nottingham to pick her car up from a friend's house, then drive to Bakewell to drop off her sister. Then drive back to Sheffield. Doesn't sound likely.

DaveH Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 No school today, closed due to snow, except for kids taking external exams. Staffed by those staff who live within walking distance, - not 17 miles away like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madannie77 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Actually had a bit of snow up here last night - I suppose it could be called a dusting. It had all gone by mid-morning, and although it has snowed on and off today it has not settled at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had all gone by mid-morning, and although it has snowed on and off today it has not settled at all. To be honest the snow we have had in Sheffield was described by the weather forcast as "light snow" (cloud with 1 snowflake symbol) I suppose we did only get light snow in that it came down slowly in smallish flakes BUT, when it continues to do that without a break for about 15 hours without letting up the amount af settled snow soon builds up to an unmanageable depth. This morning we had 15 to 20cm of snow on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THYLACINE Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 27 again, cool nights and warm days, it's been like this for the last month or so. Apart from the heat wave which burnt out 1/3 of the town of Dunalley and threatened the historical Port Arthur penal settlement, one of Tasmania's premier tourist attractions. Brother-in law is here again from Nottingham, arrived early October, here until early March. He is missing all that beautiful snow! Thanks for the pics Ukelele Lady, they really tug on the heart strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Heavy overnight snow so it is now worse than it was last weekend, about 20 to 30cm deep. However it is now noticably warmer than last weekend and is already starting to thaw, so hopefully it won't be around for very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobberd Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Sorry for all the snow for you guys, the views down Stannington Road and Rivelin Park Road look just like some pics I took a few years ago, i will see if i can find them. This is my weather at the moment..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Snow again today, and icy roads. Came at the wrong time so made driving to work a bit tricky this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 The forecasters can't win. Radio Sheffield Monday morning was adamant the snow wasn't forecast, yet the local weather on BBC1 on Sunday night forecast it exactly, except the later showers were a bit more frequent and prolonged.

Radio Sheffield would have nothing to talk about if it wasn't for the weather, how can they say it wasn't forcast? When I heard the forcast the previous evening I went out and put the cover on the windscreen and got out my snow boots all ready for the following morning. Paul Hudson was spot on with his forcast as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobberd Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 some of my snow pics from a couple of years ago, most are obvious as to where they are, one might be tricky, i have a feeling though the brains out there will soon work them all out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayleaf Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Around 10 inches here. Can't get far so spent an hour watching the bird feeders, or rather feeding frenzy. So far we've had siskins, robins, blackbirds, bluetits, great tits, coal tits, bullfinches, goldfinches, greenfinches, dunnocks, wood pigeons and magpies. We get all of them regularly, but it's unusual to get them all within so short a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hilldweller Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Here's a couple of photo's from Lodge Moor in the Clouds. If you want to look at snow, live above the 900 feet contour. Photo's taken through glass 'cause there's no way I'm going out in this lot. HD P.S. Yes, I do know that the guttering on my conservatory is cream crackered for the second year running.
