Snow

[KS55]

There are hundreds (possibly thousands) of acres of sugar beet growing across East Anglia.

There's a huge manufacturing plant in Bury St Edmunds, probably the biggest employer in the area.

Soon to go? The vale of York abandoned beets as uneconomical. I read somewhere that beet production in the uk was doomed but who really knows.

Doing the night shift with a new puppy, up at 1am, 4am, bloody cold in the garden but the night sky is so clear.

I do know that the Finnish state television channel usually has a humorous end clip on the news (a bit like our ITV - Drop the Dead Donkey etc). Whenever we get a light dusting of snow - an inch or so will do - they take a perverse delight in showing the chaos it causes (Trains cancelled, huge queues on motorways, people slipping on frozen driveways etc).

It's a sign! Bring on Storm Bert!!

Snow and ice shut schools as Storm Bert looms

Yellow weather warnings for snow and ice remain in place in the UK as the cold weather continues.

We love a good pun when naming our gritters.

Unbelievably we had half an inch of snow this morning in Bournemouth, of all places!

Snow's falling now in Upper Duky, sick of this global warming time to get back to proper winters :-)

Loads of snow in Aberdeen, nothing in Carlisle, anything in Manchester.

Gotta love Bert the blue blizzard

Where is it?

Tuesday, I did think about going to todays game but, due to a weather warning about heavy snow, I thought better of it. Forecasts kept saying heavy snow. I've opened me door, we have light rain, not a drop of snow

Just checked BBC weather, it's saying heavy snow and a graphic of the area covered white. No, there's light rain falling.

Just looked on flight radar as the snow has closed Bristol airport, three incoming flights diverted from innsbruck and geneva….. the irony

Where do you live ?
You wanted to go the the game but the weatherman scared you off ?
Seriously?
Its 9.30pm here in Trafford and not one drop of rain or snow has fallen today.
Do people really listen to these clowns!!

The forecast for this heavy snow that's apparently coming has always been for later on through the night, not during the day or this evening.

According to the forecast it was a dollop from about 7pm tonight right through to 7am tomorrow then heavy rain all day. So far no snow and don't get me wrong, the less of any kind of precipitation the better. I hate snow and ice it's looks lovely on a photo and that's about it and we don't need rain in the NW at the moment.

Very overrated and flaky stuff that promises a lot to those who hope that it comes and looks nice, but always fails to deliver and when it does always ends up just wet and a big disappointing mess.

This is Manchesh Nitid we are talking about now. Or snow. Or both
