First Snow

[Alice]

The first snow of the winter has arrived. Took the pic through the window. Not going out there.

I do miss the snow Alice, and we never get a decent fall any more.

No snow here but muchos windy today

Snowing over here too, we have about 4". We are in a bit of a micro climate here we seem to be 2c lower in winter and 1c higher in summer than 1 mile up the road.

Don't mind the snow it is when it starts to thaw.......yuch

No snow here Alice just horrendous gale force winds.The last time it snowed was March last year I think(pic. below) but it didn't last very long.

Quite nice weather here! Just a little rain, no snow and temps about 7 degrees. I woke up in the night and couldn't work out what was wrong - silence! No sound of any gale force winds. Smashing!

Doesn't everything just look lovely in the snow SueA. But I'll not be sorry when it's gone.

Weather down here is very wet and very windy. When I picked up my son from nursery and I was blown there and we were blown back. The rain cover that I had under the pram blew down the road (hope none of you are laughing....much) and I had to run after it.(now I know your laughing). I did laugh to myself, but still embarrasing.

Terrible wind here today, and Mr MB hadn't been at the sprouts either!
Tried to get to the shop and had trouble going round the corner. Still saw a huge high sided lorry swaying along the road at some speed though!
Be careful out there folks.
Hope to get to the lottie tomorrow and assess the damage.

[Alice]

Hope you don't have any damage Madderbat. Hope all the grapes are OK. We had the snow today but believe more southern parts had quite damaging winds. I see the forecast for tomorrow is for wind for everybody !

[lyndap]

Terrible here today.Fences falling down.Items flying all over the place.Recycling bins were out today and I swear more cans,bottles, paper, etc hurtling down the road than got put in the waggons!!!!

Your garden looks lovely Alice! No snow here in Preston, but very strong winds - four roof panels flew off the roof at work and boss went home cross because no one would come out and mend it before it went dark. DDL

Wow Alice, That really is a winter wonderland! Seems like ages since we've seen snow here.

Spent yesterday running out into the garden as various things blew away! I had to re-tie the plastic greenhouse to the fence as it was blowing around so much that it broke the frame & watched as the wind ripped off the weather boarding on the front of the house over the road. Our back gate has battered itself to pieces & I have tied it together with string for now, was going to drill & screw it but discovered most of the wood is rotting so needs replacing completely.Next door on one side lost some of the fence & the other lost a bird table. lots of debris in the street today. No snow though yet Alice, but it feels cold enough now!
