Beast from the East

[User33236]

East of Scotland still coping well. Bus from home into Edinburgh and then train up to Dundee both ran to time.

Don’t think the worst has hit here yet though!

If I go out for a ride today it will not be on the summer bike.

Minus 5 here in the shire , no snow to speak off thank goodness

They had a reporter in Whitley Bay on 5Live this morning claiming that "we aren't used to snow on the coast". She didn't sound local and I assume she's not lived here for very long...

Woke up to the most snow here for 20 years. Currently -4C and snow has resumed. Got up after wondering why no traffic going past our house.

A good 6 inches and falling harder, I cannot see 100yards across the back fields. It does not look like it will be easy to move our cars today, not that we intend to go anywhere.

Not a particularly common sight in Windermere

Cars not on bricks?

Thought I would add another photo - ducks seem to be taking it in their stride.

I took the week off work. I had two activities planned
1. Some DIY, which involved replacing a couple of radiators and would leave the central heating out of commission for a day or so.
2. Some cycling.



This is the view from my bedroom window this morning.

With two inches of snow on the side of the hedge, a lot more on the ground, -4c and blowing a gale the bike is staying in the garage and the heating is staying on.

A wise decision I think

Its snowing and blowing a gale in Denmark. They say it is minus 8. But with windchill its much lower.

I presume that's why you sent her to do it.

The Beast arrived overnight and it looks even more beautiful.We have a watery sun at the moment and it is so bright.The sky is laden with grey it is going to come again.All ideas of going out have been cancelled a day of rest is on the cards.But once brekkie has settled i am going on the turbo.I was going out to see my mate but that too has been cancelled.

So much for the supposed hardy Geordies!

Real men continue punting in short sleeves...

A6 up the road from me now blocked with stranded cars and lorries. I had a go at getting into work but had to turn back . Decided to take today as annual leave and see what tomorrow brings.....
