Re: first snow

No snow here, just rain. Dont often get snow in the Thames valley. However when we do we know just about everyone else has it.

Re: first snow

Bit sleety when I took the dogs out earlier, and there were lumps of snow on the road which had dropped off vehicles so it's settled somewhere nearby in the Derbys Dales - bet it's snowing in Buxton!. It's just wet and horrible at the moment.

Re: first snow

Would think Leek and Buxton are having quiet a bit off snow as it is still coming down here. If we have it Leek and Buxton have twice as much as us.

Re: first snow

Just rain here in Berkshire, I hope we have a proper winter this year with loads of snow but I doubt it.

Re: first snow

I live near Presteigne, in Mid-Wales and we've got a good covering of snow. It looks very pretty but I don't think it will last very long.

Re: first snow

No snow here in Lancashire but very cold. I know it's a few weeks off but it would be lovely to have a white christmas.

Re: first snow

I lied, just looked out and it's snowing and settling, don't suppose it will be much at this time of year but you never know.

Re: first snow

Awoke to a dusting of snow on the Pennines above Rochdale. Then whilst sat by a roaring fire in a pub on the Saddleworth hills, this afternoon, we had a bit more. Marvellous!

Regards, Chris

Oh I forgot to say that I finally got round to asking about Adders in saddleworth at the brownhill centre and the lady there said there have been unconfirmed sightings but nothing for certain.

Re: first snow

Just big fat drops of rain here in Surrey! No snow yet. Wouldn't be surprised if we got some a little later as the temperature has dropped substantially.

Re: first snow

Only rain here at the moment, feels cold enough for snow.
