    The drizzle will turn to snow soon as the dewpoint drops.
  • Been snowing lightly but steadily here in St Albans for the last couple of hours, no sign of it settling though...

  • Nothing special we had snow in UAE last week!

  • When it snowed a couple of weeks ago, my puppy stole the carrot that a small child had used as a nose on a snowman on the local green.

    This is a more Charlton Life friendly way of illustrating Canada coping with snow.

    Meanwhile, in Japan, life carries on.
    Even the roadside toilets are open and have heated seats.

    At this time of the year I imagine the holiday was quite cheap.
  • Settling in Welling, light flurries.

    More expected early morning in Kingston. Selfishly hoping it is called off and we get a Tuesday so people return some bloody tickets.

    That's actually a relatively short one. Cargo trains here are often well over a hundred cars long. Think they can be up to a couple of KMs long. If you catch a level crossing when one of the big fellas is going through it can be upwards of ten minutes while you wait.

    Edit: according to this article:

    "Up until the 1990s, the average freight train in Canada was about 5,000 feet (1.54 kilometres) long and weighed 7,000 tons. But it is now not uncommon to see these trains stretch to 12,000 feet, sometimes as much as 14,000 feet (more than four kilometres), weighing up to 18,000 tons."

    Love that we have a thread dedicated to announcing when it's snowing in certain areas.

    Can the lads in Canada give us a shout? Or should we just expect it's always snowing unless otherwise told?
  • Snowing quite hard in Golders Green now

    Coming down a fair amount in welling, not really settling though even on grass so I'm guessing it's pretty wet.
  • Proper snow at the top here. Looks fairly wet so not settling on the road. Just on cars and greenery.
