There is a yellow warning of snow here in the North West, possibly arriving at lunchtime. I am glad that this is not a warning of yellow snow! Take care everyone when out and about.
Just been to the fields with my dog where there is a badger sett on an exposed west-facing slope. For the past couple of weeks I've noticed bits of straw bedding strewn about the big entrance, but today the entrance was fully blocked with straw which I've not seen before. They've heard the forecast for heavy snow here in a couple of hours - or it could be instinct. Their behaviour has fascinated me over the years. The field is an acre of private grassland but in 15+ yrs no one has told me off.
Sadly there's a dead adult badger nearby. No sign of injury, so maybe old age or illness
Pouring with rain atm and 6°

It's been nice here, south Norfolk, today, a bit windy, but there was some blue sky and sunshine. Car said 9° this afternoon.

Good morning , nice day so far , forcast for some cold weather to come
Coal delivery coming today , should keep us warm if bad weather hits
Have a good day everybody
There's snow on the hills, and flurries down here which aren't settling. At least it's not windy like yesterday!
Redditch, raining and cold, supposed to have sleet this afternoon at 3pm.
Heavy snow shower earlier but sun is out now.
Absolutely bucketing it down with rain here, why are the forecasts always right when they predict rain?
Our dug out pond shape is filling up with rain water when we don't want it to!

Snow and ice. Zero degrees, or lower, pretty much all day apart from a little while at lunchtime when it got to the dizzy heights of ....one.
More of the same for tomorrow, although more ice than snow apparently.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
