Come on Gibbo, the weatherman has just stood in front of a picture of sheep in the snow in Gloucestershire...time for your thread to be revived!

Nope. Promised a yellow alert for snow today here and all we've had so far is a little bit of sleet/small hail stones and now rain washing everything away!

I think we've only had about 3 days worth of snow this winter. Quite disappointing... :lol:

Ditto here now, very rapidly turned into slush, and the cars have self cleared themselves of their snow covering.

So what does slush have in common with tomato ketchup....

The strange thing is the temperature is currently 1.6C according to my weather station and has remained below 2C all night - normally this is cold enough for proper snow fall even if it will melt on landing...

No snow here but there's a hell of a gale blowing and it's affecting the electric supply a bit, pleased I have a ups on my computer set up.

It's rained non-stop all day here, if it had been snow we'd be up to our necks in it.
