It's snowing

[m4rmite]

Getting pretty thick here now in Manchester.

Hasn't it always been the case for Manchester?

The tiniest dusting here

Well... it has snowed here overnight and I just woke up to a powercut in the area. There's a constant alarm blaring outside due to the powercut.

 

[Nabinium]

The powercut has thrown a massive curveball. From what I can see, it just looks a light dusting of snow. I can't really do much with this powercut though...

Nothing reported on the power company's website.

 

[JonRGV250]

Not much, but more than we've had in years..

 

[marinersfan]

We had a tiny sprinkling overnight.
Just got back from work, the weather app says it feels like -10
So that's nice.

We had the lightest dusting here but it looks beautiful

A light dusting. So carnage most likely on the road. My commute to the other side of the room to plug in the laptop will be easy though.

Snow rarely happens in Southampton, but we have the thinnest layers of white coverings, in the subzero temperature it might last more than a day.

And the ground has been quite dry too, assuming the same in Southampton.

Power company still has no ETA of when power will be back up. Currently sat in the cold, staring outside at the snow, as there isn't a whole lot I can do at the moment...

It's eerily quiet. There's been a couple cars that have drove past, but I haven't seen anybody leave their houses up and down my street for the past 2 hours.

Aren't schools back from today? I would've assumed so, but haven't seen the usual neighbours and their kids walking to the school. Though, I might be wrong and some schools may be going back from tomorrow.

An inch or two here. Im just watching the happy parents and kids trudge down the road for a new term at school.


-6C in the greenhouse overnight.

From the rare times we have laying snow here, it be in 2 tonne Range Rovers with summer tyres and travelling at the usual 90mph in the 30mph zones

We've had a fair amount, and noticed plenty of idiots driving far too fast

Absolute chaos here in Prees - There is more snow than I have seen for years - it's a good half inch deep.

People feel so safe in their cars, scary how oblivious they are. My street was like ice took me ages to get to the main road, just used 2nd gear and the clutch no accelerator. Loads trying to get up in 1st and 6000rpm. Always reminds me of Clarkson, more power.

It has been cold, but no snow as of yet where I am in Cornwall.
A few areas 20 mins drive from me have had light dustings of snow, but nothing major.

My Honda Civic 2200 diesel was a treat in the snow and ice. 1st gear, no throttle and clutch pedal lifted it would pull like a tractor. Snick it into second once moving a bit quicker.

Really is a fantastic start to the first working week of the year.

Snow overnight and a powercut in my area since 6am. What more could you want?
