What's it doing up your end?
28/11/05 - 14:03 hundred hours o'clock.
It's been snowing on and off all morning in central Manchester, but thankfully there's so much pollution that it seems unable to stick.
I want some fucking snow!
It's quite "nice" here.
20051128-14:11-London,Central
7° and bland featureless grey stretching to every point of the compass
I'm in south manchester and we just built a snowman.
i'll put a picture up when i get home (forgot my camera cable)
Snow's stopped now, but it was pelting down this morning, about an inch and a half by the time it stopped.
In New Mills, just down the road:

It's proper sticking here, and still coming down. About 3 inches and counting.

Thanks a fucking bundle, Sul.
Your snow arrived when I was just starting to walk back from town. Bastard. It is now lightly snowing as I speak, although the ground is wet (so it won't settle) and it is looking like it will turn to rain.
Kudos for the ° symbol. I couldn't be arsed with opening the character map. I used to know the ALT keys for it though.
i had a smiley using it on colon dee:

A light dusting of snow on the distant hills.
Interesting that a weather thread should attract two new contributors, and both flickr subscribers.
Nice pics, guys.
on mac, they're all just reasonably logical/memorable keystrokes, eg:
option-8 = •
shift-option-8 = °
optionE+e/i/o = é/í/ó
optionI+e/i/o = ê/î/ô
optionA = å
etc etc

We are on the news in this area for the massive snowfall we had last night. Up to 10 inches, which is pretty unusual down here. I am in a valley so we didn't get as much as that, and it's mostly melted this morning. Boo.
Last night:

This morning:

I wish we had snow, last year we had about one day and three nights of snow in the whole of the winter. I wanna move back to my home county, damn South East

i get snow maybe once a decade, you lot are lucky.
that's never 10 inches. brock, you even have needle like snow!
oooo check out the pics on the bbc site
eg:
"And in Armagh, Miruna Popescu captured the snow falling on the dark cathedral city."
Is that a Cathedral which worships the dark lord? A whole city of Devil worshippers? where is it, I want to avoid it.

It tried, pathetically, to snow this morning in Manchester, but it's given up now and the frost on the cars melted overnight.
there's some pretty good snow in london but it's mostly turning into brown pavement mush. regretting the wearing of converse boots, they're not very snow proof.

I want snow! :(
It's still snowing here but very very slightly. This morning in Chester was what I would call "light snow" but the BBC seemed to think it was "heavy snow". Roads seemed fine. Was sort of white on the way to work, now it's nearly gone.
Damn.
:(
Think I might move to Canada, get some proper seasons.
managed to catch a train :(
kent is lovely and snowy. london is just wet.
CHAOS!!
