Madeleine Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Snowed here too, not that deep but very slushy. Think it's stopped now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Pixie Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 12 inches of snow now, so beautiful ! Not had post since Thursday, and the Post Office isn`t letting me post cards, `cos they`re full up with post they haven`t been able to have picked up yet.

Talisman Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 That's a lot of snow Little Pixie. The village I live in, which is the second highest point in Surrey has its own microclimate. It was snowing pretty hard when I left for work this morning just after 7am but by the time I got halfway down the hill it had turned to rain. We had rain and sleet throughout the day at work, but driving back home again about an hour ago it was obvious from the amount of snow on the ground as I got back towards the village that the rain had continued as snow on the higher ground. I expect from the look of the sky there will be a lot more during the night. Getting to work tomorrow morning might be interesting then! It is set to be very cold tomorrow as well - a chilly minus 3. It will be good practise for when I get to Iceland I suppose as it has been even colder there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pixie Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Fingers crossed for you travelling tomorrow, June. Latest pic - it`s that lovely squeaky snow, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Rained most of the morning, then sleet and snow for a while, then back to rain; dry when I came home but very cold, not looking forward to a freeze tomorrow! I bet Iceland will handle cold weather much better than we do here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 About 4 degrees here, which is common these days, and rainy. We don't get snow here, about 16 counties did but this far south you just don't really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pixie Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 -13C overnight. Still plenty of lovely snow about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talisman Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 19 hours ago, Madeleine said: I bet Iceland will handle cold weather much better than we do here! Defiantly. It was actually warmer today in Reykjavik (1 degree) than it was here (minus 3 when I left for work). It is really strange how little snow we have had at work just a few miles from where I live, but here the car park is like a skating rink. I had to get Coran to help me park after I got home as the wheels were spinning everywhere. I felt like a bit of an idiot to be honest, but I knew I would never get out in the morning if I didn't reverse in tonight. Having said that, it is supposed to rain tonight, so hopefully it might wash a lot of it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madeleine Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Rained most of the night so damp today, a little bit warmer but still chilly, but not as biting as it has been over the last few days. Yesterday was cold but lovely and sunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Warmer and much wetter than the past few days. It's back above freezing and almost making double figures at the moment, but it's pouring with rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Alternating every 30 minutes or so between torrential rain and blue skies. I'm quite high up in my office so I can literally see the waves of black cloud rolling in from the north each time. Good warning system, gives me about 10 mins before the next torrent starts!

chesilbeach Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 After high winds, heavy rain and hail last night, it's calmed down today, with blue skies and sunshine and above freezing temperatures ... it could be summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Very wet all night, but cold and bright today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Horrible weekend, rained most of the time, especially yesterday when it hardly stopped, and heavy too. Nice and bright today so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Another horrible murky day with drizzle and no real daylight - 3rd day in a row now it's been like this - still it is the shortest day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 It's been 11 or 12 degrees here every day this week. Because why would Ireland be cold in Winter. I find it really frustrating, my jumpers and coat have gone back in the cupboard because it's not cold enough to wear them, I'm just wearing light tops with cardigans. So un-Christmassy.

Madeleine Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Me too, I'm also wearing long-sleeved T-shirts with a cardie over them, although it is very hot and stuffy in our office, but it's pretty mild out too, although still grey and drizzly, so need an anorak and scarf. Just had an email from my cousin in Australia and it's been in the 40s there! Edited December 22, 2017 by Madeleine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 A little bit drizzly all day, but not particularly cold. Very foggy up in the hills though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Absolutely atrocious weather - wind and rain, very stormy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 Sunny and probably the last best day this week. Its chilly but the really cold settles in tomorrow. Thursday will be frigid and rainy. Cuddle up weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Yesterday morning was clear and bright and cold, didn't last though and rained most of the afternoon and night, had to drive home in torrential rain which wasn't much fun. Today it snowed at first, but it was wet snow so it didn't settle, then it turned to rain again. It's stopped now but is still cold and windy, I think it's been one of the worst Christmases weather-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
