Oooooh, it's snowing!

October 28th 3:35 pm in Leicester. We have snow.

Now I know you Canucks might not think "Wow" but I'm sure all us Brits do.

Just to elaborate a bit, we haven't really had a decent winter for decades, and snow appearing this early has my hopes up for a White Christmas.

Dunno how it works around the rest of the world, but I'm assuming Aussies have it in July? Or ....actually no, I've no idea how it works round there.

ummm, cool?

Hah! It's bloody WARM here at the moment, today's expected high is +15 degrees Celsius.

It snowed a little bit here in Wisconsin yesterday. I hope we get a lot more so I can go snowboarding.

Snow? .. What's that?

I haven't experienced a 'proper' cold winter in years... While I can't really complain, it was actually more fun that way (natural ice.. snow.. hot cup of chocolate around a campfire?).

I'm jealous. It wont snow in Massachusetts for at least a month still.

Forecast in my region (London, Ontario) calls for snow overnight but only a dusting. Er, waitaminute, just checked again and now they're calling for 2-4cm overnight. Hm. Time to bust out the fur hat. Still, they say it'll be 14°C by Friday so it won't stick around.

It is unusual these days for England to get snow this early in the year, though. Enjoy it while you can!

No snow down in Kent, but Im right on the coast, the rest of the UK can be a foot under in snow and Ill still only get a sprinkle.
And yes for some of you snow is common, for others its a bloody miricale.

No snow here (southern United States) but there's a lot of stuff frozen outside this morning and that's unusual this early. Usually doesn't happen until mid-late November. My hopes, also, are up for a white Christmas.

It's snowing tonight here in Vermont, and was snowing for a while last week I think.

We tend to get a lot of snow [/understatement].

No snow in Copenhagen, Denmark yet. It will probably be at least a month before we even see it, being a mostly coastal country.

 

[Landslide]

I really want snow this year. I moved down here (to North Carolina), from Canada (Montreal) 6 years ago - and I've only had one or two snowy winters since. I hope we get some this year. It's been pretty damned cold for October here so far. Maybe we'll get lucky.

I like snow but when it starts getting about waist high then its a bit ridiculous.

 

[Lukeje]

Well its raining in Oxford at the mo... chance of snow sticking seems rather slim...

 

[Anarchemitis]

I like snow.

 

[pigeon_of_doom]

No snow in Brighton, but there barely ever is here.

Same when i lived in norway at this time

I live in Northern Ireland, and there was some snow this morning, but some real heavy hail stones in the afternoon.

 

[corporate_gamer]

No Snow in London. Never Snows in London. Damn You Urban Heat Island.

Well I'm at aberystwyth in wales at the moment and apparently its famed for its white Christmases, despite being by the sea. Back home though in cornwall? I would have to go to the moors to see more that a bit of slush and ice, which is the best we would ever get.
