henry d Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 We have had three or four inches over night, so I cleared the path and car. Sun came out blazing in the lounge window so we turned off the heating. Ten minutes later near white out conditions, so we carry on doing housework, sun comes out so we go for our daily walk, ten minutes later blizzard! But we did see a beaver after it spooked the duck on the river, get home an hour later and it's blazing sun. Clear path and car, cuppa then blizzard conditions again! Bus failed to negotiate a slow bend and ends up on pavement blocking our road. Gave up after the third clearing of the snow! If it carries on like this we may end up with a foot or so as it is forecast to be snow showers for 24 hours. In the time it took me to type this it has been snowing, sunny and is just about to snow again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billytheghillie Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 blizzard, snowy showers down here ( Kelso ) then a bit of sun, nearly the same as you Henry but not quite as deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a surprise, I thought you would get it bad there. I think we are getting it bad as we are in the lee of the hills that stretch down the Tay and the clouds just come over them and dump it on us, when it is Westerly we are protected by many miles of hills. Word in the co-op is that most roads off the main roads are not getting cleared as they need to keep the arterial routes open! Sounds like there's more to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 aye its weird, might be cause we are in the valley, i stay 10 from Kelso up near the Cheviot hills so it can be night and day up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discobob Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 No snow but cold in NE Wales - even turned the heating on for an hour - the kids were starting to turn blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Been snowing continually for about 12 hours but still doesn’t seem more than a dusting on the ground. Cold though. Can’t seem to warm the house up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 No snow here - few ice crystals fallen, but only stuck on garage roofs and other cold places. Above freezing, but not by much, and despite being sheltered from the east (by the Cotswolds) - a fairly brisk cold east wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingEgg Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Overcast and minus temps in southwest but no snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgun Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 No snow at sea level but we've had mostly below freezing for a couple of weeks, easterlies =dry and bright, noticing good numbers of Woodcock in the remaining damp areas, guessing they have come over from the snow covered East of Scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a couple of inches here in the Eden Valley, and blowing a hoolie now and then between sunshine. We don’t get gritters here and managed to get a bit of a slide in the Landrover even though I was only doing 20 or less in the village. I really like your town, and can’t wait to get up there again for the Borders Art Fair. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh man Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Not as bad as the last Beast From The East but still bitterly cold with the strong Easterly winds , some roads are blocked with the drifting snow and the kiddies are really enjoying it .

Bigbob Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 It was trying to snow since 3am last night in FIFE flurries then stopping and starting again got 3/4 inches now but they reckon Tuesday it to be minus 6 and roughly the same Wednesday then add on the chill factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not helping me clear out the shed 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
