I was out doing some work on my truck yesterday - was only around 0 but I was frozen through in moments - no fun when you are trying to manipulate tools and fiddly fastenings and can barely feel your hands.
 
we had our coldest night for a number of years -3.4C -beat the old record by .4 - odd thing is no ground frost -it's on shed roof and car windscreens but none on lawns.
Blue sky and sunny at moment.

That was not long before it hit where I live too, we went from patchy snow to everything covered, about 5cm in the space of an hour and a bit?

I had to go out earlier, my car was almost completely clear when I got home but then the skies opened and within less than fifteen minutes, it was like this.

Someone lost control of their car Monday night and ended up smashing into my girlfriend's car outside our house. Rear wheel punctured, and wishbone or something bent. We heard the bang and went outside and got the driver's details, but still a PITA to have to deal with.
Annoyingly, the car was only parked on the road because our driveway is pretty steep, and although I'd been anticipating this very thing happening (we live on the outside of a long curve people come round a bit too quick), I hadn't moved the car back to the drive that night in case heavy snow meant we couldn't get it off again the next morning.

So I've had enough of snow and it can **** off now :/
 
We've had snow almost constantly here for the last couple of days but it's not laid properly at all, a bit on the cars but that's it.

Such a let down!
 
Nothing else really showing it but Arpege has a fair band of snow over Wales and the SW Saturday afternoon followed by most of England and Scotland getting a fair bit Sunday mid-morning except Wales and the SW.
 
Not sure on the ICON it was showing a similar setup at the start of this cold patch which didn't come off. Lot of potential for the cold to come in again later - plenty of it around for the next few weeks.

It's not the snows fault, it's the **** drivers which seems to be the majority these days. It was lethal on the roads this morning. Still had cars a meter away from bumpers. One had smashed into a parked car going round a Ballard. Hardly anyone drives to the conditions these days.

True, the reason it happened is because we live on the outside of a fairly long sweeping corner, and I've watched several people from my window today, taking it far too quickly despite it being a sheet of ice. But it's taken the above off enjoying the snow for me.
