lots here, the roads are coping well ( if a bus goes on it, it gets gritted), so children at school. Snowed all night and still going. Broken the water on the pond for birds and the chook water and will go out and redo during the day

So far my sunny, tropical corner of Kent is under about 8" of snow.  :ohmy:

And it's still snowing!

No more than a dusting here, although it is a bit dark outside just now...  :unsure:

Whatever else we get won't disappear anytime soon with the temperature just below freezing now, and not forecast to get above that until the weekend (and then not by much.)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

It did well overnight for us. Threats of lots more for the rest of the week into next week. No gardening for some time.

Since mid-morning it's alternated between brilliant sunshine and heavy blustery snow showers. In the shade there's now 2-3cms of snow, but where it's sunny it's melting fairly quickly despite an air temp of -2C.

We've had a lovely day. Woke up to snow, plenty of sunshine then snowy showers all afternoon. Apart from the not being able to get into the garden, it's been marvellous!

Local weather stations are showing -7.7C now and low of -10.6C at 6am  :ohmy: Nothing is stirring so couldn't say that there is any windchill involved in that, 'gusts' of 2mph - nothing like the winds on MetO's forecasts, thank goodness  ::)
The snow we had yesterday morning melted yesterday afternoon, but it started snowing again at dusk. It looks as if there is 5 or 6 inches out there now. It's deathly quiet, can't hear any cars or trains  :)

Our turn today - spring bulb plants just covered, which I reckon is around 4" of snow, although it's been quite windy so the drifts are much deeper than that. Currently -6C with a 'feels like' of -12C.

Was more concerned about a pal from Matlock who was flying out from Manchester to Australia at lunchtime today - he and his partner just made it to the airport in time, and he was quite pleased when I texted him that it's about 25C where he is headed for, with 32C forecast in the next few days (my concern now replaced by jealousy, although the shock would probably kill me!)

At 6.15 it was -5C with wind chill -12C.  A good 8cm fell during the evening/night, and it's still falling.
I was due to travel down to S. Wales today. That'll be postponed until next week now!!
