It's snowing

Wow! We had near a foot prior to Christmas, most of that melted last week.

Now we are nearing 1.5 feet again and no let up, very very very heavy snow here.

In the image below, that brick wall back right (under the overhanging bush), thats about 45cm bottom to top, barely 10cm visible of it at the moment.



Buried under all that snow in foreground is the main patio area.


These are taken from the back door, I'll venture out tommorrow morning when it lulls to go see how the high ground is. Heavy stuff :)

I think something is wrong here, it shows in Stoke it's only going to be 0c min tonight tonight and currentley 1c.

I've got two thermometers and both are showing -5c or more now.

My sidebar gadget has been telling me it's getting warmer all night. Started off at -12 earlier and now shows -5 but thermometer shows -11.

Just numbers at the end of the day, bloody cold is bloody cold. Winter is winter.
 
Frozen Britain from above. Blimey!:eek::eek:

I'm fed up of the snow like. I don't have the right shoes for it, if I walk to the shop I have to hang about in the shop til I feel my feet again.

Didn't think Newcastle centre got snow like this

Erm don't want to put a downer on it but that makes no sense, there is only 5-6 inches on the top of that table and unless the legs of the table/chairs are massive then only 3-4 inches on the floor.:confused:

I presume there is some kind of step down to the wall if it is a 45cm high wall? The wall itself would fit an average 3-4 brick high wall of only 30cm, which would fit with the 6" of snow theory. :)

The only reason I mention that is because most people seem to have a massive issue estimating snow depths, to the point where halving the depth gives you a true depth. :p

Its more to do with the drifting of the snow. Anyway, it sounds better measuring the drift than the average ;)

Exactly! And a drift /= snow depth, otherwise out 4 inches just before christmas could be classed as a foot...:p

It's like people quoting windchill when they try and boast about the minimum temperature! :D

(BTW if difts count then Dartmoor had at least 4 ft of snow last year, I was up to my waist in the lea of hills!)
