It's snowing

Well... it was!

All but stopped now lol
 
We've had nothing in Huddersfield all winter, then last Thursday about 5mins before hometime we got 2 inches in about 15mins, sent all the traffic mad, made my usual 15min journey take an hour and a half, and by 8pm it had all gone... and haven't had any since.
 
Just started snowing here - unusual for the Fylde coast, even more so for it to start settling - I'm about 200m from the sea at Norbreck (North of Blackpool).

Anyone see that program about Scotland the other week and the cairngornms and other mountains, pretty bad winter a few years back and quite a few lives lost. I didn't realise it got that bad up there :eek:

I work on the military base were the mountain rescue operate from and they are constantly being called out, so many accidents, even the road leading to aviemore is super dangerous, loads of lives lost on it.

Winter of 2010/11, current snow depth on the mountains has now exceeded that. Glencoe for example has nearly 3m of snow on the ski slope, which compares to Whistler/several Alpine resorts which currently have 1.2m snow depth!

It's been snowing on the hills for weeks on end, and climbers frequently lose their lives in winters on the hills. Snow or no snow, when the weather closes in on a munro visibility can be atrocious and one wrong step could send you off a ridge and down a gully very easily.

I was up there a couple of weeks ago, and it was mental (Glencoe).
