Who had snow this weekend?

Looking at the weather forecasts over the weekend it looked like we were due to get quite a bit of snow between Thurs and today.

Good old weathermen, wrong again

So who did get it? I had a look on the webcams through the midlands and north west during the past few days but couldn't see any anywhere.

Looks like the sledge will have to go back in the garage for another week

Quite heavy in Crawley saturday morning and also heading down towards the south coast.

Continued well up to midday then turned to sleet and rain and it had all gone by 2ish.

Thank god really because my car does not like snow

We had quite a bit for a couple of hours Saturday morning where I was birding.

No. A little bit of sleet that's all.

Same as John, a couple of hours on Saturday morning but it didn't settle.

Re: Who had snow this weekend?

i had quite a bit, snowed most of saturday morning not settling to start with due to the previous rain, but then just two miles away down the bottom of the hill it didnt settle at all.
unfortunatly though my sledge hasnt been out for a while, the snow just isnt good enough any more!

Unhappy Re: Who had snow this weekend?

I havn't seen a good fall of snow for about fourty years. I did manage to see an exciting shower just after Christmas when down near Oxford but up here in the Wirral we never get any. I have recently returned to England to live after half my life in Western Australia. When I was a youngster we used to have heavy drifts of snow every year. Think I will go and live over on the East side of the country.

Re: Who had snow this weekend?

We travelled back from Cornwall on Sunday - frost and mist for much of the journey until we got well up into Devon, where there was a little snow falling for a short while. The depleted remains of a snowman were still to be found in the garden here in North Yorkshire, where sledging had been the order of the day just before New Year.

If you want snow take a trip to Japan! I've just seen they've got up to ten feet in some areas

Snow - it's that white stuff which comes sometimes in the winter, and for which you buy new boots to keep your feet warm. Only you don't put them on to go out in the snow, as you might spoil them!!!
