+Cushag Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Snowing wet snow, not settling yet. Unusual for the Isle of Man as although we have gales very frequently it can be quite mild and warmer than UK. Something to do with the Gulf Stream. My job entails me sometimes to stand on the sidelines of Rugby and Hockey matches and some are scheduled for today. Brrrrrr. Maybe this odd November weather is the coming of another Ice age. Now there is a subject we can get all hot under the collar about. Dear Gavotteers, I lived in Albrighton for a few years, how did you know about the weather in that part of the Midlands when you live in Gosport? Link to comment
+BountyHunter1 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 We had about 1/4 inch last nite settled a little but most;y gone today. Still a little left on car roofs and houses though. Nice and Sunny and CCCOOOOOOOOOLLLLDDDDDDDDDD today. so wrap up warm folks Link to comment
+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Cold and dry here in Leigh near Manchester.

+harrogate hunters Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I missed the snow !!!! First snow in the winter in Yorkshire and all I knew was when I came back from my 2 day trip to Venice (yes 1 did a couple of caches) I found 6 inches of snow on the top of my car which was parked at Leeds/Bradford Airport. No snow left in Harrogate, but still a coating on the grass around the area surrounding the airport. Pity it did not snow harder all over the country and I would have got snowed into Venice, what a shame ! Link to comment
