Snow,how much have you got?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Couple of inches overnight in Leeds (we got home from the pub just before it started luckily) but it's melting in the sun.

Not to brag or anything, but I reckon we've got a good eight to ten inches.

as far as i know snow in UK is not so common late autumn - even in winter - so every inch of fresh (pure white) snow deserve separate and new thread.

About 6in sitting, but it has compacted since last week.

When I went to work last Wed or Thurs it was -31c. It's warmed up lots this week. It's been -1c for the past couple of days. Think it is going to snow againlater this week and start to cool off again.

Silly amounts of snow still oop here in The Peoples Frozen Republic Of Geordania.

Oh, and we had a really mad electrical storm with thunder and lightening last night too, just for good measure. One boom in the early hours was so loud we heard it from about 10 miles away and it was so loud and the lightening from it so bright that it was like a local sub-station had gone up in smoke!

Next wave of the white stuff is mean to kick in over the next few hours so that's....er....great. :roll:
