Weather, the true picture

Rain in Berwick, the snow's almost all gone. Probably different inland though.
 
About 0°C today.
Heavy frost tonight expected and snow in the early hours. :eek:
General traffic mes probably monday morning I'm afraid.
Hell will be freezing over for the rest of the week - warming up of the earth is going down the drain :rolleyes:
Keep warm and away from here :cool:
 
Aberdeen-Peterhead area mainroads are ok many back roads are still icey with hard packed snow. (the road i was on this morning was very slippy)
take your time !!!!

After having a few sherrys last night at the Anglers Rest, Miller Dale, Derbyshire was woken up by Zeezee at 8-30am, who just said if your going home, get going or you will be staying a day or two.
We think Aj went the day before knowing about the snow storm and never said anything, he will pay:D
The overnight snow was 2-3 deep with hard packed ice underneath, so if in the area of Derbyshire, take care.

Happy Camping:)

Snowing here again in Masham,!Started to thaw out earlier, but all gone wrong again.Where's global warming when you want it!!Back to work Monday,all back roads will be fun !!
 
Cornwall-Falmouth area- has been sunny all day but cold 4c; hard frost tonight but roads dry so shouldn't be any black ice. forcast - much of the same. Who's got all of the snow-we want some please!

Wow - all side roads in Dumfriesshire lethal today - light snow on shot ice :eek:
Lots of minor prangs with people caught out. Main roads are fine but nowhere else has been ploughed for almost 2 weeks now and most laybys icy too. Not good!:(
 
If anyone fancies heading for the Brecon Beacons, the A40, A465 and A470 are clear - but watch out for some of the quieter lanes which are slushy and topped with black ice. I was there today. The scenery is stunning with crisp, crunchy snow, kids toboganning down the slopes and loads of motorhomes of all shapes and sizes.

The Black Mountains are a different matter. We hoped to get to Hay Bluff via Capel y Ffin but only managed a few miles out of Llanthony before slithering on slush, snow and ice. Llanthony Priory is easily accessible by all vehicles for anyone fancying a trip to the southern Black Mountains to enjoy the snow.

4" Snow last night main roads appear to be gritted
but anywhere else very slippy.

Never mind the faithful hound " Rex " had a great time
on the morning walk. bounding around like a pup
(he is 12 years old)

Drive carefully!

The access to Hay Bluff from the other side of the Capel Y Ffin road is also still impassable, we went there on Friday from the Rhigos and could only get to within 1/4 mile of the carpark below the bluff, but I have never seen so many people out on the Beacons! The road from Merthyr to Brecon was populated by hundreds of parked cars and the hills were a blaze of brightly coloured people, walking, sledging and enjoying themselves. My estimation of Volvo has gone up considerably too, my mate's Volvo estate coped with truly bad conditions, even going where a Land Rover refused, but it was full of Paragliders and pilots. Big respect also to the guys who actually walked up the bluff with their gliders; they went through waist deep snow and when they got to the top the wind was too light to stay up. Bummer.
Yesterday (Saturday) we went to Rhosilli on the Gower peninsula and the roads were driveable with care, they seem to have escaped the worst of the weather. What shocked me was the number of people out for a drive wearing light summer clothes; thin tops and tee shirts might look cool, but you get stuck in the snow in these conditions and you might live to regret it.
It's not as if you can make a cup of soup and then get into bed in a Fiesta! Here is a picture of the Brecon Beacons taken from the Rhigos car park, and one of the Rhigos mountain where we went flying.

Snowing lightly again in Berwick, I imagine the outlying roads will be quite bad.
 
Just been reported on the radio that party people have been stuck at the Tan Hill Inn since new years eve! I am pretty sure the Sno-cat is out of action!

Well everything was frozen up at the Seafield Caravan Club site at Spital Derek.

Couldn't empty my waste water or top up with fresh. The roads were like glass with 4x4s having problems moving caravans. The site closed today until April.

The A1 wasn't good around Berwick and didn't improve until below Alnwick.

We have about 10 inches of fresh snow in Annfield Plain and almost got stuck getting into our street. Main Roads are OK though. Minus 6 expected tonight.
 
leeds at 0600 today on my way home the roads are realy bad with lots of snow laying no sign of gritters
 
Stockport about 6 inches of snow this morning
