Now I've moved back home, often the coolest temps are recorded in Killin - guess where I work in/around now?
Liverpool?... No, Newcastle?... Edinburgh?

I'm gutted this morning. We've got really heavy snowfall here now and it's sticking/freezing too! Traffic is plodding along in sludge at 10-20mph and I bet everyone will be struggling to get to work on Monday!
I'll never understand why people like snow

I dont mind the snow.... It's the people that don't know how to cope/drive in it that are irritating. It's really not that difficult but require forward planning and awareness, skills sadly lacking in a lot of drivers today.

It's not too bad if you're only driving using main roads and motorways or if you've got a 4x4 but it's a totally different ball game on housing estates, side roads, and rural lanes etc. That can turn into a hellish experience even for advanced drivers. I was trying to get around the UK in a van doing long distance delivery jobs a few years ago when we had the last heavy snow period and that was an experience I never want to go through again.

It's Snowing here on the Mersey only about 3cm at moment but still coming down
Just sleet here and its warm enough that its not sticking (Ellesmere Port). Cold, wet miserable muck instead of fun snow

I'm only a few miles away from you (Upton) and things are different here so I think you might just be a few hours behind us in terms of snow and dipping temps from the coastline. Snow is coming in your direction pal....but I'm hoping it doesn't last more than 1 day.

Back in Cornwall very cold, the rain is just laying on sheet ice.
My industrial water tank in BBQ area is solid with ice

Had a bit of rain first thing and everything turned to ice - warmed up now and can see a thaw in some places.
Even showing 3C is doesn't feel as cold as it was.
As a old codger I was doing the soft shoe shuffle going round to the bins.

Nowhere near as cold with me last night, only -2c, +2c now so thawing out all the ice.
Back to normal service for next week, hard frosts all the working week.

Snow falling, nevermind sticking, was such a rarity in Wirral in the 80s when I was there in my "yooff."

Business as usual for a Saturday here. Washed the car this afternoon, I was surprisingly comfortable just by wearing a slightly thicker jumper than usual. Could have stayed out longer, but the sun had just disappeared over the hill and I know I look weird enough cleaning the car in such weather as it is! It'll be an ice rink out there in the morning, but I won't be going anywhere tomorrow. Must admit I do like the lighter evenings in the Summer as I can still be out doing stuff outside the house until 20:00/20:30.
Five more days at work and then I'm off for Christmas/New Year, so the weather can do what it wants from 17th onwards.

I had been planning to just ride indoors, but I saw a mate who'd gone out at 8am and said, although water in his bottle iced up, it wasn't that bad... so I figured, what the heck! He was right though, lovely afternoon with the sun out. I'm not sure what happened here though -

It was just for this small contained area, for like 30 seconds. I wondered if someone had a bonfire or something?

The weather is definitely requiring a bit more heating. Going to be a pricey month. Needing a bit in my gym now too.
-6 and a freezing fog, it’ll be pretty out in the morning. I, however, will be staying in where it’s marginally warmer
