Brixton snow! (merged threads)

[isvicthere?]

cold snap? overrated!

I took the dog out at about 7.15a.m. and the predictded "Arctic conditions" were conspicuous in their absence. Not even a frost, and the puddles remained water, rather than ice, filled. In Harrow (now at work) the ground is frozen and apparently it started snowing last night. It's grim up north (London).

It started snowing whilst I was doing the pub quiz at the student union last night. By the time I walked home there were two inches of it and more. Having had eight pints and a sambuca or two I decided that riding my bike in the snow might be fun. I came off twice.

Wish I had a digital camera, 'cos the view from my office window is lovely this morning.

Shame about what appears to be water coming through my bathroom ceiling at home though. They only fixed that bloody roof the other winter.

Well Shoreditch is bright, sunny, glorious blue sky and just a bit cold.

Loads of snow here in Cambridge. Dawn was beautiful.

Cambridge is beautiful in the snow. It takes on a magical, Narnia-like quality.

No snow in my bit of Brixton though. Did I miss it already?

 

[ill-informed]

Well up here in the barren wastelands of scotland..... it's sunny, there was a bit of a blizzard when i got up but it's settled down now. Here's some 'hot off the press' pictures of wintry Scotland.

I was hoping to canoeing today in my brand new canoe, but as you can see from the picture it's a wee bit choppy.

Indeed. It wasn't even particularly cold this morning (our bathroom has no heating and it wasn't too bad), let alone snow-covered. I wonder, is there a big climate differential between north and south Brixton?

 

[J77]

Still mild and very sunny in Bristol

Fucking HELL! That's the view from your living room? I could put up with it being a bit nippy for that. Where's the ''green with envy'' smiley?

 

[stop esso]

[newbie]

[onenameshelley]

Nope got up this morning and there was no snow in brixton a bit of that dodgy ice that you dont see till the last minute as you skid on it but that was about it.

 

[Yossarian]

On such a winter's day, la la la...

I saw a load of snow in South London this morning but it was all on the roofs of cars coming from snowier places.

If this really is Arctic weather then those polar bears must get a bit warm with all that fur.

 

[hatboy]

I thought that I would wake up and that when I looked out of the window it would be snowy
I was all excited I was
I can report that in Camden Town it is incredibly sunny with just a hint of frost and no snow at all

It's the same in Brixton, no snow now, a little last night that didn't lay. Yossarian's on drugs.


However last year it looked like this:

 

[tabernus]

i feel cheated. i wanted loads of snow.

and theres not even a SINGLE snowflake

 

[Epona]

It snowed at about 1.30am in Canning Taaahn. Huge flakes. It was quite light and the parrot was goggling out of the window with a 'what the fuck?' expression on his face. It stopped after about 5 minutes.

Also got snowed on in the 5 minutes it took me to walk from Euston to work, foiling my 'Oh I've been in the stores for a while, I haven't only just got in' excuse due to the melting snowflakes in my hair

 

[aqua]
