We had a few snow showers last night but it hasn't settled, I was hoping we'd seen the last of it :(

Hope you have a great cruise Flora :D

It's very mild here, though rather grey - in complete contrast to the lovely warm sun we had yesterday, when we sat out in the garden much of the afternoon. Hopefully, we shan't see much (any?)snow here right on the coast as it isn't forecast to drop lower than 5degrees, and it definitely isn't that cold now.

Enjoy your cruise, Flora.

We had snow last night just a light covering but it's just started again :o

Wish I was heading to the Caribbean.

It's been bitterly cold up here. This morning we did a bit of gardening and put the washing out to dry. That was the sign for it to start snowing but it's only that thin, wispy stuff. If it's going to snow I'd rather have big, proper snowflakes. It doesn't really look like it knows whether to snow or not.

There was a fluttering during the night but it disappeared very quickly. It keeps trying again. It's so cold though.

Hope it does keep away as Hubby's work will have to be cancelled. Too many hills to get to the job :problem:

On the Gower. Our garden is sheltered and south facing .....it was delightful. Last Tuesday, we were in the garden all day, in short sleeves and had lunch on the deck.

We were mowing the lawn last week too, Mel.

This morning, however, it's showing here in deepest Sarf London!

And it's blowing a hooley too so the snow is coming down pretty much horizontal

We are near Southampton and we have had snow overnight enough to give a light layer but it's not lying on the roads now. It's just little flakes at the moment but with quite a fierce wind - and really cold! We are off to Gatwick on Wednesday evening so we don't want any snow anywhere near Gatwick thank you! Just off to start packing!

Yesterday in St Lucia: 29 degrees :D

Today back home in Sarfend: -1 degree :(

Had to drive back from LGW in horizontally falling snow, now settled on the road outside home.

That's quite a drop in temperature! You must be freezing!


Its snowing on and off here, not looking forward to driving to work tonight, last time it snowed like this it took 2 hours to drive the 30 minute journey. Role on Saturday and the Oceana!

It has been snowing on and off with light flurries here since Saturday evening. But, this evening it has been very heavy and is freezing as well. Hope it doesn't last this time. We have been having a very long Winter, First time it snowed was in October. Time we got our Spring!!!!!
