I need a snow census. Who has snow?
I am suffering my annual I LIVE IN SCOTLAND AND DONT HAVE SNOW temper tantrum. I live on the coast, sticking out into the north sea, low level. So its a) dry and b) more salt in the air than oxygen most of the time. And c) that is profoundly unfair.

Ditto Raine. We live on the coast and snow is a once every twenty year for half a day thing here. Glasgow had snow yesterday though but it melted during the day and I haven’t had an update today.
We still have a heavy frost, but no snow. Might have some tomorrow morning, apparently.
No snow. West Suffolk.
Tiny sprinkling of snow first thing this morning in Cotswolds over a heavy frost. All gone now.
About half an inch when I got up this morning. All melted now, BUT I can see the Brecon Beacons from my window, and they’re still covered.
No snow (thank goodness). Essex. Had a few flakes last night but they didn’t settle.
Got light covering of snow on the Isle of Lewis. Several snow showers but not layering up.
You have all made me feel much better! 😂 i will cease sulking! High of 2deg here today but stubbornly un snowy.
Not a snowflake in sight apart from myself. However, I do have foxes in the garden who are raising the temperature like billy-ho!
I live in the highest village in England and we have a light dusting. However lots of ice – needed to put my foot to the car to open its door today.
Just a light dusting here.
@Janette, do you write Flash fiction?
@janette, I had to do some serious door-wrestling too. Whilst thinking ‘how hard can you yank on a door handle before you snap it off?’
And @athelstone, glad to hear the foxes are feeling spring-like, despite all evidence to the contrary!
@johnalty, I do like to write flash fiction, however at the moment I’ve had to put my blinkers on and concentrate on my current WIP as an agent has asked for the full once I do some requested adjustments. Sorry it rules me out of current comps at least, but I’m hoping it will all be worth it.
Wow, good luck with that.
Actually I wasn’t drumming up business for the comp, it was a bit of silliness based on the claim by Flash, in the Peak District, to be the highest village in England.
Sorry, John, I should amend my previous statement to ‘one of the highest’, though at 1200ft above sea-level, we’re pretty damned high.
Gah! WoW @janette, that is fantastic news!!!! Well done! I’m keeping fingers crossed that she loves it….
Woke to a thin crunchy layer on Thursday; mostly gone by teatime. We’re ~ a dozen miles from the east coast.
We had a flurry of snow and lots of sleet. I am almost on the beach, and lots of salt on our windows. For a day Ballard Down was covered in snow which cast an unusual light over the bay but all gone in two days. None settled in the garden.
