Yep, I spent the wee small hours of Sat 29 Oct driving across County Durham in a whiteout to make sure I got to a dog competition near Tow Law by 8.30am - the Tranny was in for MOT and repairs so I had to bed down with the dog overnight in a village hall car park in the back of the Peugeot Partner van, in amongst waterproofs, hats, gloves, wellies, dog towels, traction mats, shovel, sacking, power pack etc. It took 3 hours to do what should take an hour and half at about 20 mph all the way, with many a stomach churning slip and slide. But all ended well without any additional bumps or scratches to the small white van, and I managed about 4 hours sleep. There was a good 3 inches settling on Barnard Castle and Bishop Auckland as I passed through. Most of it was gone by the following mid-morning so we didn't get any games of "Fetch the snowball" in though :sad:

(And can I have a little brag here?.... it was all worth it as we came away with a yellow rosette for 3rd/10 and the all important certificate to say that we had scored enough points to get the Kennel Club Working Trials qualification we've been working towards for the past year or so :dog:)

Woke up to sleety snow on Sat and a heavier half hour thick downfall later in the day but it melted and didn't stick. The Shap fells looked lovely though.

Why does it never get mentioned on the national news or weather about snow up here in the north, but as soon as there's a flurry of the stuff down south, there's weather warnings on all the weather forecasts? :confused:
 
Snow on Snowdon.

An ex-colleague who lives in Harlech went up this morning and posted some pictures on Facebook
 
Nothing in Morbihan David

It might be useful to anyone planning on driving in the area though.

Aye, she's always like this when the weather turns - not the 'time of month' but the 'time of year' is yet another excuse for her to get grumpy. I always wait until Jan/Feb for that but she wastes no time, predicting its going to be a 'particularly bad winter this time' etc. (she said the same last year). As usual, take no notice of her.

Actually, she's all excited about Xmas and wants to know what I'm getting her etc. :tongue:
Besides ear trumpets, what else do you think I should get the Goose?

Snow here in Aberdeen today. Just a few inches. Wallace, our pup, has been having great fun playing in it. My mother, who lives near Rhynie has over a foot of snow, but the snow ploughs have been great and have cleared her wee road regularly. Forecast tonight for -5C so I don't think the snow will shift soon.
