Who else has had snow in the last few days?

Stephen Evans · Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2009 10:40 pm Post subject:

Very much so.

Yeah. We had about three inches on Thursday and very little since then but also very little of it has melted.

P.S. I made anew topic because the forum appeared to have died.

Yep. We've had snow since last Thursday. The campus lake froze over at the weekend. Annoyingly, my mountain bike's chosen this time to break, so I've been riding in on the skinny-tyred road bike, feeling slightly nervous about any sudden interfaces with ice and the road surface. It's still here, starting to thaw but I believe the temerature's going to get colder again.

This morning's ride into work was at about -5 degrees Celsius, and felt extra cold. I stopped part way at a supermarket to warm up.

here anyway i don't think it's going to snow again soon- if we have a white christmas, it will be last weekend's snow with hundreds of footprints in it

Seeing as it's only got to last 48 hours longer, and we've still got 4+ inches on the grass where no-one's walked, there's a fair chance we could have a white Christmas!

As for cycling road bikes...I'd be far too scared to do that! It'd be pretty hard to convince me to even take the mountain bike out...

most of the paths round here are icy and our road is very icy but the main roads are fine

The real question now is... who had a white Christmas?

Here are pictures I took while walking the dog on Christmas day. Plenty of snow still around in Sheffield!

I think it last snowed on the night of the 23rd.

There was still a little bit of snow left on the ground on Christmas day, but none out of the sky. Crying or Very sad

There was just enough ice about to make 1 wheel on the car spin this morning on the uphill

Not now - it's all melted

it hasn't been warm though, where the snow was piled up high like in snowmen, there is still a small pile left on the ground
