+Haggis Hunter Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 The snow has finally reached Edinburgh, and it is coming down thick and fast. Looks like my day out caching with Mini HH tomorrow may be scuppered? Quote Link to comment
+daytribe Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 It's been snowing on and off for 4 days now, here in bonnie Muir of Ord, Scotland. Haven't had time to do any caching since moving up here. The kids have only had 2 days at school this week, so they're happy. Quote Link to comment
+kewfriend Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 ARMCHAIR CACHEING RULES OK SO ...... where exactly is The Spot Actually took 24 hours of armchair cacheing Quote Link to comment
+adambro Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) We've got our first snow of this spell now in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Got a decent covering and its still coming down. Edited March 3, 2006 by adambro Quote Link to comment
+wizard1974uk Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Still bitterly cold outside, but no more snow. I may go cacheing tomorrow if it doesn't snow. Quote Link to comment
+Seganku Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Snowing here in Newcastle Quote Link to comment
+Mr'D Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 From the Thames Valley... What snow? Quote Link to comment
+The Forester Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 A light snowfall at Forester Towers (Central Scotland) yesterday produced an ideal substrate for easily spotting the tracks of wildlife. This morning I've seen the tracks of: Roe Deer Sika Deer Fox Badger Rabbit Hare Squirrel Cat Mouse or vole Buzzard Robin Pheasant Partridge Something with large webbed feet (Goose?) The temperature at dawn was a crisp -6°C so the snow is delightfully crunchy underfoot and has not yet suffered the slushy squelchy rottenness which snow usually turns to quite quickly at this time of year. If we have some sunshine and a bit of luck then hopefully the snow will sublimate and so skip the slushy phase. Quote Link to comment
+wizard1974uk Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Its been snowing here again, just stopped, time to get the car thawed out. Quote Link to comment
+Geo-Kate Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Its been snowing here again, just stopped, time to get the car thawed out. There has been absoltely NO snow here at all this winter, and i'm gettign quite upset reading about all your snowy adventures! The closest thing we have has here is home made snow from scraping the frost from my windscreen and trying to make a little tiny snowball from the powdery spoils piled against the wiper blades. Mrs GK wasn't impressed when I attemted to throw said snowball at her Quote Link to comment
+thunderbird30 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 No chance of any caching here this weekend...It's been snowing since Tuesday! We even had to dig the car out due to the local council snowplough heaping up the snow outside the driveway! Snow chains have been worth the money........ 7 miles south of Forres Quote Link to comment
alistair_uk Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 A light dusting of snow in Newcastle. The front of the car is in the sun and clear, the back is in the shade and still covered. Quote Link to comment
+Al & Tracy Smith Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 No snow here in Weston-super-Mare. However, it is bright and sunny so maybe I can convince the misses to go caching rather than shopping......... but I wouldn't bet on it. Quote Link to comment
Nediam Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 First snow of the year here last night. Must have, ooh, at most 2mm Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 A lot more up on the Chilterns this morning. At least 2" of fluffy white snow and thick mist on Coombe Hill. I might upload some photos in a bit, when I've defrosted myself Quote Link to comment
+Mr'D Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Good working from home isn't it SP? Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 What is this 'work' of which you speak? Working in London before the event on Friday, and in Barcelona next month though. Work might not be everyone's word for it though Anyway, photos! Quote Link to comment
Nediam Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) Snow's all gone and now it's raining! Boooo! (Got to change my avatar already!) Edited January 24, 2007 by Nediam Quote Link to comment
+kewfriend Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) Birders and I did our Good King Wenceslas act and trudged a kilometer or so into Swinley Forest to find Crowthorne Surgeon at the back of Broadmoor hospital. For so much snow it was suprisingly soft and muddy - certainly NOT deep and crisp and even!! As it happens there was more snow in London than Berks.

+penguinhunters Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I was on my way to London to work in the Docklands and I was dreading the drive. No snow in Southampton however it started to appear around Winchester onwards. Managed to get 8 caches in today with some lovely views however my feet are a little cold now! The drive wasn't too bad by the way. Taken at GCYWM1 Quote Link to comment
