is it nov last year since i stuck my head on h2g2

we here in england are getting ready for the snow later today saturday,at11-00am, in bradford,yorkshire, jim

Hi Jimcracker...welcome home.

Well below freezing here in south east London...sparkling and sunny.

It's at least minus 5C here, and has been snowing for the last four hours. Roll on springtime.

5 pm in Estonia. -24C right now and we expect -37C tonight. Hell is going to freeze this winter.

We have had about 7cm snow since 5pm (Northamptonshire uplands). Husband struggled to get home from two villages away after picking up daughter from a party this evening. All the girls were in skimpy clothes and flip flops, if they'd set out from here they'd have had wellies and coats and longjohns, just in case.

So, enough snow to mean we won't be going anywhere tomorrow, other than to our favourite hill for sledging ...

Lots of snow up to about a foot outside (might have drifted though) Temp: 28F Wind Speed 15MPH. Pressure 1027 MB. That is the conditions at 23:45 4/12/11 here Nr Emneth, Norfolk (UK).

OOPS I meant 4/2/12! Silly!

Lots of snow and very beautiful everything looks. And I love that strange compressed dull sound when you walk on freshly fallen snow...and even though it's the middle of the night, the garden is clearly visible.

Well the snows been and gone and broken cloud is allowing the temperature to drop. All is quite outside as I look out from the office window. Looks as if plenty of folk have already enjoyed there first taste of snow for 2012 given the state of the road and payment outside, looks as if a mass fight as taken place earlier on.

After an night of lovely snow, outside it looks like a winter wonderland and it has really made my weekend. I thought there was not going to be any snow this winter and I hope there will be more snow showers.

There is an opaline sky and there have been a few A few flakes of snow. The temperature is -1°C but feels more like -4°C. The winds are light, 8 mph with gusts of 13 mph. The wind direction is coming from East North East direction. The humidity levels are 89% and the pressure is 1033 mb.

You can keep the snow. it's just sun, sun & more sun here in Trinidad 33 degC

Yesterday didn’t seem too cold and the thaw of snow continued, most pavements and minor routes are nearly clear now.
Weather consisted of broken cloud with a light breeze from the NW.
At present it very much the same, high pressure over Europe is defending any weather systems ( lows) from the west and is maintaining these still grey skies with little change

latest from Hell (Michigan,USA)
Temperature 2 degrees above freezing, scattered clouds and light breeze
No Hell has not frozen over

It was just snowing here for a minute. Stopped again now.

After a sunny day with little cloud cover, the sky has become completely clear of any clouds and the temperature is between 0°C and -5°C but feels more like -11°C. The winds are light, 11 mph with gusts of 15 mph. The wind direction is coming from East North East direction. The humidity levels are 81% and the pressure is 1041 mb.

Sublimation seems to be happening here in North Herts.

That is to say, the snow laying around is evaporating rather than passing through the usual water phase.

The snow has receded somewhat in the last few hours and the roads and paths are stone dry. My drive is certainly less snowy than it was when I went out 4 hours ago.

Oddly humidity is at about 80% but the air feels really dry.
