It's snowing

Was in Hamilton today, seemingly the M8 westbound to Glasgow was shut. The M74 we took on the way in at 2 was ok, was one lane coming out of Glasgow but not to bad.
I got lost in Hamilton trying to find the train station, was in stupidly slidy shoes and had a miserable hour+ walk around trying to find the train station.
Got back to Glasgow, and then my train home was cancelled. Bah.

4cm... seriously? Thats unbelievable, really, thats pathetic even for England surely.

One kid, one broken arm, one claim = a lot of money and hassel.

Out of the 10s of thousands of all those kids as well...

Still, pathetic.

Aye, misses managed to get a bus back from EK, was quite relieved I didn't have to drive through and get her!

It was a different story on Monday! 12 267s went past burnbank before a single 201 turned up

Here's one from the local news..

A TOTAL of 69 schools and colleges in Notts have so far said they will be closed today, Tuesday, after fresh snowfalls overnight. About 4cm of snow fell in many areas of Notts overnight.

Gotta love this country sometimes.

4cm isn't everywhere, it's 20-30 cm here

HEAVY SNOW WARNING - WEDNESDAY NIGHT

Increasing low Uppers of -12 will cross the south east into the late evening, this with the change to north east winds and low pressure over france will intensify the shower activity!. Expect upto 15cm in some areas , this is just a warning and may not happen at all!

It's going to get MUCH colder

Better get used to it, I was kind of prepared for it this year well I had remembered to order my coal but have I got enough to see me through the winter as it has started a bit earlier than I thought it would!

mysticsniper · 30 Nov 2010 at 19:51

Its all white and everything is covered. The wind is picking up now and its getting to be quite a blizzard. I have tired to dig the car out as I am supposed to be working tonight, but the risk is just not worth it, esecially when there is a few abandoned cars that have been left, and there are no tread marks on the road as they have been covered.

The is no gritting service where I am as the roads are too narrow.

Here is one from my RC plane from the weekends snow.

Hope the pic works

No snow here down in the south east (in fact we had a bit of rain earlier), yet 12 miles away to the east in Folkestone there's quite a lot, been snowing most of the day and was a real paining driving in to work this morning. Not looking forward to the drive to work tomorrow.

Moorron, those shots are amazing!
