Good job it didn't snow like this Sunday

Current temp 0.3c


Sorry should have said Weston Coyney.

Really snowing hard now, didn't expect this...........where is the
warning???


They seem to have been caught napping. There's a yellow warning in
force for ice, which says:

"Between 16:00 Wed 13th and 11:00 Thu 14th
Ice will again form on some surfaces from late Wednesday afternoon,
which will continue through the night and well into Thursday morning.
In addition, wintry showers will spread from the west with some
accumulations of snow, though mostly restricted to high ground. There
will probably be icy stretches on untreated roads, pavements and
cycle paths with some slippery surfaces likely. There is also a small
chance of travel disruption across parts of Scotland and Northern
Ireland.

"Chief Forecaster's assessment
Most of the snow accumulations will occur above 200 m where 2-5 cm is
likely in places, mainly over higher parts of western Scotland and
Northern Ireland where greater amounts are likely at higher
elevations. However, 1-2 cm is possible at low levels very locally
where heavier showers occur."



See my post at 1122 this morning.
