Oh yeah? Don't you just love how the timing works out? It makes commuting even more fun - as if it could get any better! I'm in Cambridge and aside from that dusting at the start of the week it has just been rain, cold wind, and rain.
Ah. Someone with knowledge. Is the place pronounced ‘KIMbolton’, 'kimBOLton', or 'kimBOLTON'?
I used to live not far away and pronounced it like the first one (stress on the first syllable) but I had a boss who, he said, flew from there during WWII and pronounced it kimBOLTON.
The airfield was derelict when I lived nearby - a place used by learner drivers and us young lads with air rifles.
My wife and son were pissed off this morning. Nothing in Northampton. Last night I was being told not to bother clearing the car off because we were getting 4 hours of full on snow. I wake up this morning to "barely even cold" and not even any ice.
My son was asking if mummy was disappointed enough to keep him home from school. No chance.
Also in east london. The only time I ever recall a proper snowstorm for a few days was back in March 2014. The only time I ever experienced a school snow day
Just sleet in Cleckheaton. There was a light dusting which gave us hope last week-end but then sod all, in fact on Tuesday it was super sunny and my central heating got confused
Fuck, tell me about it. Felt trapped for a week, just been able to get out of my street in the last day or so.
Had to drive Aberdeen to Inverness and back yesterday. Roads weren’t atrocious really, but Aberdeen city itself (and its main roads in and out) were embarrassingly bad compared to Aberdeenshire, Moray and Highlands.
To be fair I think from Keith south had had extra helpings of snow. I really hope the temps predicted on the weather apps are true and we get a melt this weekend.
I'm on the outskirts of Aberdeen and have had knee deep snow, was unable to get out at the start of the week and if we didn't have a digger come down I wouldn't have been able to get out today either.
I'm on the other side of the country in Merseyside and having the same issue.
The weather band is creeping north enough to give us horribly cold rain and wind but not quite cold enough to turn it into the beautiful fluffy white stuff.
Lincolnshire here too, pissed it down all day as I nervously check the river next to us. We got flooded badly 2yrs ago and I get anxious when the levels rise this quickly 😫
I swear there are places in Africa that get more snow than we do. There was a map showing the yellow warning snow zones last week and there was a perfect gap around Cardiff and the East Vale.
Predictably we didn't get a single flake. We haven't had decent snowfall since 2018.
I fucking hate snow so of course I live somewhere that got a load of it.
Kids school is shut so they have a snow day but I have a laptop and can WFH so it’s a case of trying to do the 9-5 and look after the child at the same time.
Not enjoying at all.. I have a pathology transportation company and cover about 17k miles a night. And it's been a nightmare. We've had 3 vans off the road due to accidents and some pretty bad delays....
I love the snow. Saturday morning to Sunday night. But it can FO the rest of the time...
If i hadnt seen the news, i wouldnt have even realised there was a storm happening. Just raining constantly but not heavy enough that would make driving more difficult. Typical miserable grey wet british day tbh
The snow we got looked very pretty but it wasn't really snow, it is basically an inch of water with a white frosting, you don't crunch it down when you walk, you slosh it about and have to hope you don't stand in any holes deeper than your foot.
Few miles from me is a winter wonderland. Where I am, there's barely a dusting! Glad not to have disruption and travel chaos though but it would be good to have a nice pretty layer!
I'm with you. Yesterday and today are the first time in weeks I haven't had to defrost the car... Plus, while Cornwall is being hit with 120mph winds, it's just a bit breezy and wet here. I really did want to build a snowman as well ...
Snow round mine has been slushy all day with major routes clear it was so fun walking to the shop struggling on the pavement with cars doing 30 next to me
My friends flight got moved to manchester from birmingham - buses were full so they went taxi - taxi got stopped in traffic because of truck bloxking the motorway - they went on foot 9 miles in 2.5h in snow.
Meanwhile me down south just got some rain on the way to work
I find myself in the Midlands. I am cough middle aged. One fall with brittle bones, I daren't say. I'm not young but I don't fancy eight months in hospital. I need a couple of hire huskies.
I’m in Dorset & it missed us completely-was hoping that maybe for once this end of the country would be included in something other than rain but,nope
I’ve given up on even hoping that here will get any weather other than rain or cloud cover when it’s ‘winter’ (or any other weather system) as it only ever feels to be one or the other 99% of the time regardless of which ‘season’ it is
We had a few moments at 8 this morning however seeing as it had spent most of the last 36 hours pissing down there wasn't any hope of it settling. Wish we had had some proper stuff as I love snow.
Didn't get any in Doncaster but Sheffield got covered 🤷🤷 I wanted to show my son some proper snow as well he's 2 in March and hasn't really seen it. Wanted to build him a snowman.
We had snow on 3rd, 4th, 5th and 8th. Rain, hail and snow on 9th. I wouldn't say we enjoyed the snow as we're moving house. It's a 4½ hour drive at the best of times, snow isn't helping.
I'm in a 4wd pick up, I can get up hills, even in the thundersnow. All the other cars, that can't and are left blocking the road. Argh! Added 3 hours to my last drive home.
Devon here. I was watching the snow cloud on an app I have. As soon as it got over us it turned to rain, then back to snow after it had passed. I swear we have our own climate.
I live in Cheshire, it's very rare we ever get any (although we actually did on Tuesday for once) because we live in the Cheshire plain. All the hills surrounding us steal all or most of the snow.
So grateful for the rain this morning here in the Highlands. Day nine of the snow here and I might actually get out of the house today. Count your blessings. It's been horrendous.
Keep the snow. Hate it. The only time snow is nice is when you have nowhere to go and no work to do and can just sit and watch the world go by.
For anyone who has to leave the front door it’s a Royal pain in the ass thanks to bad drivers and poor gritting/ploughing and that includes on foot as the pavements stand even less chance of being cleared than the roads and of course most grit bins are now taken away or have turned into rubbish bins and not refilled.
South east I take it? The whole of the UK got atleast a yellow weather warning expect the south east, the northern Home Counties, Essex and London avoid the snow, but just got buckets of rain indeed.

We had good Snow in Norwich overnight Sunday, just in time to be back to work Monday.
Oh yeah? Don't you just love how the timing works out? It makes commuting even more fun - as if it could get any better! I'm in Cambridge and aside from that dusting at the start of the week it has just been rain, cold wind, and rain.
Same here in St Neots, it reached Kimbolton, before giving up and going any further east!

Same,
I'm in Essex.
Had snow for like 2-3 days then yesterday and currently today. It's just rain
Been raining for 28 hours now

Yep nothing In Wellingborough either
No even the weather wants to come to Wellingborough.
Truly the arsehole of the universe.

Where the zoo was, before my time as I grew up in London, is now a grotty park with a nice selection of empty Tyskie cans.
[deleted]
That's correct. My grandparents moved here in the early 70s from London.
We moved in the early 80s.
Just as I was coming of age to really enjoy all the city had to offer I was uprooted and deposited in this backwater.
I did not take it well!
[deleted]
I went up to London during the Xmas break.
The house that my grandparents sold in Wandsworth for 9k in 1971, a three story mid terrace Victorian, last sold for 6.5 million!
Safe to say that I can't afford to return either.
We got about a cm on monday , enough for my partner to not go to work lol !
Sympathises in pomponian
Same. South East 😭
Yeah. Here in Guildford we’ve had a couple of overnight sprinklings this winter which are easily mistaken for heavy frost. But last few days, wet AF.
Really? I'm on the South East coast and it was snowing for hours this morning
I'm Essex, we've had nothing but rain
Same story every time where I live
I'm SE coast. Not had a flake.
North coast of the South East here - nothing but rain.
Just rain on this bit of the SE coast (West Sussex)
Same, East London. Haven’t had a good snow fall in a long time!
Yep I'm in East Ham and it's just been raining 😔
East Ham representin' over here (I fucking hate snow though). Let's bad mouth those dirty West Hammers
Haha yeah, fuck wet spam lol
Also in east london. The only time I ever recall a proper snowstorm for a few days was back in March 2014. The only time I ever experienced a school snow day
laughs with no snow and no rain
Source: Harrogate.
Same, we had a dusting on Sunday but that's all gone now. East Lancs
It’s pissing it down in Ripon
That’ll teach you!
Same in York.
Just sleet in Cleckheaton. There was a light dusting which gave us hope last week-end but then sod all, in fact on Tuesday it was super sunny and my central heating got confused
Day 9 of endless snow in NE Scorland enjoying finished at the end of day 2. I just want to be able to safely leave the house.
Fuck, tell me about it. Felt trapped for a week, just been able to get out of my street in the last day or so.
Had to drive Aberdeen to Inverness and back yesterday. Roads weren’t atrocious really, but Aberdeen city itself (and its main roads in and out) were embarrassingly bad compared to Aberdeenshire, Moray and Highlands.
To be fair I think from Keith south had had extra helpings of snow. I really hope the temps predicted on the weather apps are true and we get a melt this weekend.
Never prayed for rain before, but here we are
I need to drive to Inverness next week, while I love spotting a named gritter I don't love it enough to want this to continue.
Good luck. Make sure you have the proper screen wash. Keith was -10 when I drove through yesterday.
Be careful what you wish for. There is nothing enjoyable about the amount we got in Aberdeenshire
I'm on the outskirts of Aberdeen and have had knee deep snow, was unable to get out at the start of the week and if we didn't have a digger come down I wouldn't have been able to get out today either.
I will be so glad once it has all melted away!
My friend lives in Aberdeen and she is not loving the weather.
this. it looks impressive on the news but then it's not snowing here.
Try the Highlands... Everything was completely shut down and their was no way in or out of the county, people were stranded.
None in Edinburgh. Looks like a sprinkling on the hills but nothing I've seen in town.
We got some light hail in Dundee
On the border of Lincolnshire & Cambridgeshire
I'm on the other side of the country in Merseyside and having the same issue.
The weather band is creeping north enough to give us horribly cold rain and wind but not quite cold enough to turn it into the beautiful fluffy white stuff.
I NEED to move somewhere I can have snow.
Lincolnshire here too, pissed it down all day as I nervously check the river next to us. We got flooded badly 2yrs ago and I get anxious when the levels rise this quickly 😫
Yeah we've definitely had our fair share of the flooding over recent years, fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻
Much appreciated, I hope you stay flood free too! 🤞
Sussex. Barely ever snows. Barely ever settles.
Yup, I don’t think we’ve had proper snow in over 10 years
Lucky you, I’m in Aberdeen and we saw two foot of the white bullshit.
It snowed for almost a week here and now the snow is rock solid and a total nightmare to get around. Enjoying is not the worst I would use
No snow, just wet mizzley rain.
My friend is in Tewkesbury and she was sad they didn't get any snow.
Im near Birmingham and we got loads. Almost everyone on our road has a snowman in their garden.
That's a shame and I'm a tad jealous you got so much snow.
Welcome to mid Devon...
South Wales. Weather warnings all around us and yet our little bit just had rain.
Where I am in Hampshire it's been rain
We had a sprinkling of snow here at the beginning of the week, but it’s all gone and just cold and wet here now in the Cotswolds of North Wiltshire.
Same here border South East Wales. No snow. Some got our share.
I swear there are places in Africa that get more snow than we do. There was a map showing the yellow warning snow zones last week and there was a perfect gap around Cardiff and the East Vale.
Predictably we didn't get a single flake. We haven't had decent snowfall since 2018.
Dorset
Ipswich. Today it has rained more or less, all day. Would have preferred the promised snow!
...yesterday too.
I aint even got rain
As an Austrian in London I concur. I miss snow
I wouldn’t call what we go snow. It’s more like a metric ton of Mr Frosty ice maker left overs. Nothing but pure mush and slush.
We had like an inch of snow earlier in the week that stuck around for a day. Since then, non stop buckets of rain and 30/40 mph gusts of wind.
I fucking hate snow so of course I live somewhere that got a load of it.
Kids school is shut so they have a snow day but I have a laptop and can WFH so it’s a case of trying to do the 9-5 and look after the child at the same time.
The sooner this all fucks right off the better.
Just rain on the Isle of Wight
We had snow last weekend into the start of this week in Newcastle. Just rain since then.
Not enjoying at all.. I have a pathology transportation company and cover about 17k miles a night. And it's been a nightmare. We've had 3 vans off the road due to accidents and some pretty bad delays....
I love the snow. Saturday morning to Sunday night. But it can FO the rest of the time...
"Buckets full of rain" sounds like it was a delivery lol
If i hadnt seen the news, i wouldnt have even realised there was a storm happening. Just raining constantly but not heavy enough that would make driving more difficult. Typical miserable grey wet british day tbh
Ashford, Kent. Never ever get anything. Ever. Rain and wind all the time when there is snow warnings.
Same, and I'm in Yorkshire. Yorkshire for god's sake! It's snows here when other areas are out in shorts and t-shirts!!
Last night promised around 6 inches, woke up this morning - nothing (I am beginning to understand how the ladies feel...).
🤭
You’re not the only one, here in the very southeast it’s just pissing down. It’s not even cold tbh, jumper weather
The snow we got looked very pretty but it wasn't really snow, it is basically an inch of water with a white frosting, you don't crunch it down when you walk, you slosh it about and have to hope you don't stand in any holes deeper than your foot.
I'm getting Groundhog Day vibes!
Same in Hampshire. Just grey.
Hey neighbour! 👋
👋🏻
Rather rain than snow and ice, I'm happy where I am.
Lived in Portsmouth and Chichester, it’s just depressing at this point. Had snow maybe 2-3 times in 20 years…
Few miles from me is a winter wonderland. Where I am, there's barely a dusting! Glad not to have disruption and travel chaos though but it would be good to have a nice pretty layer!
None in Glasgow. They keep teasing it though
South Wales resident here, no snow at all…
Lincolnshire always get terribly mild weather. Havent had a snow day since beast from the east
We were essentially forced to drive into work, despite being able to WFH, had a few near misses on the way in
Time for a job hunt me thinks
Sad face in North Somerset
Damn, they must have caused quite some damage on impact.
They were the big metal buckets too! 🪣
Nothing in this part of kent, never get anything down this end! Just heavy rain.
A bucket of rain, is equal to a bucket and a quarter of ice, happy days 😁
Just cold and wet in Glasgow. Just really slippy.
I'm with you. Yesterday and today are the first time in weeks I haven't had to defrost the car... Plus, while Cornwall is being hit with 120mph winds, it's just a bit breezy and wet here. I really did want to build a snowman as well ...
Glad I'm not the only one! ☃️
It feels like everywhere around us got snow.
But not us.
The joys of having a microclimate because you live on a peninsula.
snow is shite though, it's cold, wet and slippery. looks nice when you're inside looking out but thats about it.
I live in teesside. We had a few days of snow, then it rained and now its just hail.
Welcome to that horseshoe between Blackpool and the Pennines. Haha. I hate it here
We are not enjoying it!
Snow round mine has been slushy all day with major routes clear it was so fun walking to the shop struggling on the pavement with cars doing 30 next to me
In Dorset just rain and a bit windy a bit of flooding at high tide would love a bit of snow.
You're not alone we had nothing but rain and wind.
Enjoying it? I still can't get home because of the roads.
Other than the slightest bit of snow 3 days ago, we had none. TBH I am 51 and I have seen proper snow maybe 3 times in my life.
Nothing here either
My friends flight got moved to manchester from birmingham - buses were full so they went taxi - taxi got stopped in traffic because of truck bloxking the motorway - they went on foot 9 miles in 2.5h in snow.
Meanwhile me down south just got some rain on the way to work
I find myself in the Midlands. I am cough middle aged. One fall with brittle bones, I daren't say. I'm not young but I don't fancy eight months in hospital. I need a couple of hire huskies.
Never been so hopeful of rain. I used to bounce.
We got 100mph winds and rain instead :(
It snowed here at 9pm, then rained heavily from around 11pm which melted/washed it all away.
South East? Fucking crazy, cars and vans MOVED in Sandgate by the wind/ waves.
Same in Cardiff. Everywhere around us has had snow but just never gets to us!
Wouldn’t say I’m enjoying it lol.
Trying to get to site today was a nightmare
I’m in Dorset & it missed us completely-was hoping that maybe for once this end of the country would be included in something other than rain but,nope
I’ve given up on even hoping that here will get any weather other than rain or cloud cover when it’s ‘winter’ (or any other weather system) as it only ever feels to be one or the other 99% of the time regardless of which ‘season’ it is
Yeah just rain here in Bristol too
Cornwall here. Nothing but wind and rain. Lots of trees have fallen but no snow
Yeah dundonian here. We tend to get skipped over when it comes to the weather "everyones" getting. Its just been cold then some rain today
It’s probably the worst snowfall we’ve had in Wolverhampton and BC since 2018’s Beast from the East. Usually we get that powdery stuff or slush.
Oh I hate when that happens.
Im 10 miles away from a place that had closed schools and still have snow on the ground whilst I woke up to ice rain and slush. I feel your pain.
We had a few moments at 8 this morning however seeing as it had spent most of the last 36 hours pissing down there wasn't any hope of it settling. Wish we had had some proper stuff as I love snow.
Just rain here in the East Riding of Yorkshire
East Northamptonshire here - we got a couple of inches of slush that's now gone.
I’m in Cornwall and yesterday was wild. We had everything but snow.
Same. I got a light sprinkle of snow but it didnt remain and lasted all of 10 minutes.
Didn't get any in Doncaster but Sheffield got covered 🤷🤷 I wanted to show my son some proper snow as well he's 2 in March and hasn't really seen it. Wanted to build him a snowman.
After having snow and ice since NYD, I would love buckets of rain right now
Cold, damp and snowless in Edinburgh
We had snow on 3rd, 4th, 5th and 8th. Rain, hail and snow on 9th. I wouldn't say we enjoyed the snow as we're moving house. It's a 4½ hour drive at the best of times, snow isn't helping.
I'm in a 4wd pick up, I can get up hills, even in the thundersnow. All the other cars, that can't and are left blocking the road. Argh! Added 3 hours to my last drive home.
We got some last week but I hate snow.
Are you storing it in buckets for the inevitable water shortage in April?
Aberystwyth just has rain, too. Freakin’ sucks.
You must live near me. Same:(
Been raining loads down here in the south east.
Me too, me too.
On the plus side, no killer ice?
Devon here. I was watching the snow cloud on an app I have. As soon as it got over us it turned to rain, then back to snow after it had passed. I swear we have our own climate.
That's so annoying!
Sunny in Devon
Same here in Cumbria. False promises from the weather app.
"I hate snow. It's cold, wet, slippery, and it gets everywhere."
west london here, all I want is to have a snowball fight with my kids.
all I've gotten is cleaning their damn muddy boots!
I live in Cheshire, it's very rare we ever get any (although we actually did on Tuesday for once) because we live in the Cheshire plain. All the hills surrounding us steal all or most of the snow.
So grateful for the rain this morning here in the Highlands. Day nine of the snow here and I might actually get out of the house today. Count your blessings. It's been horrendous.
Same here
enjoying is a strong word, is driving at half a mile an hour enjoyable?
Keep the snow. Hate it. The only time snow is nice is when you have nowhere to go and no work to do and can just sit and watch the world go by.
For anyone who has to leave the front door it’s a Royal pain in the ass thanks to bad drivers and poor gritting/ploughing and that includes on foot as the pavements stand even less chance of being cleared than the roads and of course most grit bins are now taken away or have turned into rubbish bins and not refilled.
Enjoying snow ? Obviously doesn’t work outside for a living
East Midlands and we got about 10 cm of slush. Horrible to drive in, hasn't melted and it's going to freeze tonight. I'd rather it had rained.
You live in manc too then?
Hate the snow more than the rain tbh
Who enjoys snow?
What’s happened in Brighton? Any info?
“Everyone in he UK enjoying the snow” is quite the stretch there.. anyone that’s working may beg to differ.
South east I take it? The whole of the UK got atleast a yellow weather warning expect the south east, the northern Home Counties, Essex and London avoid the snow, but just got buckets of rain indeed.
We were actually covered by the yellow weather warning for snow, it just didn't come!
Believe me, I DID NOT enjoy it.
Sussex?
If it makes you feel any better, we had snow but I am not enjoying it
