Still cold, still icy, less snow...

Still cold but only - 4 C today. Road very icy.

Yes, same, but very sunny. Have just fed the birds...............again.

it's sun! I vaguely remember that shining, a long, long time ago...

Can I name and shame my council?

When I say I've risked life and limb today to travel to pupes I am not exaggerating. The nearest I can get my car to home is about 1/4 mile away and even there the conditions are lethal. I was shaking with fear when I left the Bag-Mobile (affectionately known as "the snail" cos that's what it looks like ) and then had great difficulty staying upright for the walk back to Bag's Basket. The car certainly wasn't going above snail-pace today.

EVERY year this happens here - you can actually SEE the gritting line where Croydon council ends and my council begins. A b****y disgrace. When I first moved here we had a grit bucket in my road and even had that endangered species the gritting lorry visit but no more. Despite residents' best efforts we cannot keep this square mile or two safe without industrial strength salt/equipment.

Mind you, the old buttocks have toned up nicely with all the hiking/shovelling etc. I will bus it tomorrow which will mean me cutting it very fine to travel between two schools on time. Am so hacked off (must be furballs...)

If this is the council I believe it is...

Rather foggy...

No snow left... apart from the leftovers of a mountain of snow one family built on Friday

Still a few snow remnants here...

Ice rink and -9 oop north.

Brrrrrrrr

Brilliant sunshine and - 15 degrees here this morning.

I was due to travel south today but my car stopped a minute or so after starting it saying 'fuel system failure'. I think the diesel fuel has frozen.

I will take my wife's (petrol) car instead as she refuses to drive in the snow!

Lovely blue sky and bright sun! This might finally be the day I can get my car out, although my car has still got several inches of snow on it and there is still a lot in the drive.

Foggy and icy, -4C, still plenty of white stuff lying around.

After a snow free weekend it is back with a vengeance here, despite not being forecast.... looks like another week of hardly any pupils!

A bit foggy, very cold. Most of the snow has gone, but the packed ice that's still on the pavements is not nice to walk on.

Cold, mist slowly lifting...

Very cold. -10C here today and it looks like an award winning photograph that would be entitled "Winter Wonderland"

Update : mist lifted - now sunny

-9.5 here. Brrrrr. Sun coming through the clouds and making everything look pretty, but it's only 8 degrees in my kitchen and I'm wearing my coat indoors!

Yes, its 4C in my kitchen. I havnt bothered to put the milk in the fridge- no point. I'm just staying out of the kitchen untill absolutely starving.

I hate to say this but here in Gibraltar we have the most amazing weather today, about 22deg C and a beautiful sunny day. Not sure where it has come from but set in for a few days. It is unseasonably warm for us. No wonder my examiner was in such a good mood!!

Only -4 here!

Not as cold overnight as the previous couple of nights and the snow is gradually going, I can see patches of grass now

Bit on the grey side, but the snow's virtually all gone

Getting warmer.... We're up to -5C now from a minimum last night of -11C.

We had more snow last night and had some heavy snow showers today - no chance of seeing the grass anytime soon.

On a happier note, it's a positively balmy -1 now - almost feel like I could take my coat off!!

The snow has made the icy paths a bit better to walk on anyway...

meant to be warming up this weekend, so hoping for a bit of a thaw.

We still have piles of snow and ice and poor Bagpuss' car is still marooned some way from her house - AND she has to take a tray to slide on in order to traverse her road...

Rather nice here. Warmer than it has been recently and the sun is trying to come out

Yippee, the outside temperature has gone above 0C. I can now go into my kitchen without fear of loosing my toes to frostbite. Hopefully the rest of the white stuff will now disappear.

Maybe a touch warmer. Nearly all the snow's gone

very very mild, most of the snow has now gone

I'm down to just two layers of clothing now

yep, me too. Almost warm enough for SSO (short sleeve order)

I'd never heard of SSO before : you learn something new every day!...

Much of the snow has now gone but there's still a fair bit around in places.

It's supposed to be cold again next week...

Still got about 4 to 6 inches of snow where it hasn't been cleared. Hoping for a decent thaw today.

With the chance of snow from Wednesday onwards...

For now though, it's milder, with some sunshine.

It's turned into a really nice day, considering it's December

just something we had at school.

lovely day here, very little snow left and it is very mild again

I shall remember those initials!

bit colder again today but fine and dry.

Rather Grey on the Wirral this morning. a frost was predicted for last night, but it was 3 deg when I went for my 'paper.

Grey, sun trying to come out.

Looks likely that the second snowy spell of the winter is on its way early Thursday (north) or later Thursday (south)...

Been grey, wet and rather chilly today. Not very nice weather to be out and about in.

Grey, drizzly, chilly...

Fingers crossed this is nowhere near as bad as before. MamaDaisy and I have a funeral to go to on Friday morning.

Grey, drizzly and getting colder.

This afternoon was the pits. I got let out of school early (for being a good girl ) so was driving home about 2.15pm - and I had to put on full headlights! It was dark, dank, misty and rainy...

very wet and very windy, still it's 8 degrees C out there so shouldn't complain really.

Edit: change that 'very wet' to 'very wet with some of that nasty white stuff mixed in' and alter the 8 to a 3 now.

We're looking at daytime temperatures below zero from tomorrow...

Today : dreary and wet
