Still no snow, but had to be in & out a bit today & it's really cold & unpleasant. Although the car was showing 2c the wind makes it feel much much colder. Very overcast too; was very pleased to get indoors!
Hi, not posted on here before. Have just been reading about all your weather!! I am on the Isle of Man, North of the Island and we have been very lucky so far. Lots of snow in the South of the Island but none settled here yet. Keep getting snow flurrys but it is not settling. Spent yesterday and today in the greenhouse repotting cuttings etc. Emptied out some pots of Hydrangea cuttings I took last year and all but one of them had loads of vine weevil in them. Luckily there are still some (short) roots left so I have repotted them and keeping fingers crossed. Added some of that Rootgrow so should be ok. I was so lucky last week. We had a couple of dry days and nights so on Wednesday I cut the grass and did the edging. It looks so good and really makes me feel good everytime I look out there. I have a cordless lawnmower so it is nice and light which made a difference I think. Hope everyone's snow soon goes away. Made me shiver reading all your posts. June
Snow with an easterly wind on Friday - created lots of drifts but not so much actual depth on the ground - however, last night changed things quite a bit & now there's approx 5" + drifts.
Of course, as is the way of things, it was snowing again this morning when the logs were delivered. I'd cleared the snow so they could dump the load on the ground (Pa's old muck shovel - remember those, Frank?- came in handy) but I had to cover most of the load because I couldn't stack the logs under cover quickly enough.......... guess what I'll have to do tomorrow..........
Cold here, snow overnight but it only settled on the cars.
Frank.Thanks for the update, I'm thinking of not making the trip by car if the A66 is partially closed. The drive over Shap can be perilous too and it's forecast fog which is not nice to drive in on the motorway especially when it's dark. An alternative would be the train but that seems to take forever with a 45 min wait at Carlisle. The trips arranged for Wednesday.
When are you travelling zoomer44 ? My other half heading south (stoke ) tomorrow can let you know how shap is. Brough and stainmore was closed and due more snow tonight and tomorrow.
Thanks, Bunnysgarden. I usually come on line at about this time most evenings so will check the weather thread tomorrow. Feel I'm in safe hands with yourself and Frank on the case

Snow melted now in Dordogne, rained most of the day with patches of blue sky for fleeting moments in between. Ground absolutely sodden.
