First snow for a while

[JohnfromUK]

A surprise when I looked out a few minutes ago - and all is white!  Too dark yet for a photo.

Edit: Photos added after dog walk.  Unusual for us to get snow, especially this early.

Wet snow falling in the City of London. Not settling though as the ground was already wet from rain, which turned to sleet and then snow at around 7:50 am as I was walking from the station to the office.

Had a couple of inches overnight and is still snowing, been some time since we have had snow in November.

Must be Global warming.

Our weather at the moment is , cold , wet and miserable .

I can remember many , many years ago when we had heavy snow towards the end of November and that turned out the worst we had for the rest of the Winter , nowadays nothing come as a surprise and we are more than likely to get Snow at Easter than we are at Christmas , but we have still got plenty of time with this Winter having only just begun .  MM

No snow this morning, not even a frost, but yesterday’s snow still on the tops.

snow/sleet on the ground late last night .....and really bone cold....with a lazy wet wind.......looking outside now ...all gone and warmed up a bit

ThANK GOD FOR WINTER FUEL PAYMENT

We had about  150mm near the Slack but temp stayed sub zero until well past 1000 and only up to half a degree  now would rather have it crunchy than slushy.

At one time we used to get a bit more if we had a prolonged spell of below temperature's I think it was seven days , we might have to have a protest like the farmers , trouble is this cold weather would kill most of us off before any decisions were made

Worry not, the ones who removed the payment won't be going cold?

God help us if we get another Winter like 62 / 63 , we will end up with more people dying from the cold than we did during the pandemic , one consolation is we won't decompose for a while

Which will be a blessing when the gravediggers come out on strike (cf Callaghan's Winter of Discontent)
