Britain braced for snowy showers

[isa]

Forecasters have warned people to take extra care on journeys as snow is expected in parts of the UK.

The Met Office has issued severe weather warnings for Strathclyde, the Highlands, western isles, Tayside, Fife and central Scotland.

Parts of England and Wales are also likely to see wintry weather with snow forecast on high ground in north Wales and northern England.

The Met Office warned of increasingly wintry showers throughout Sunday afternoon into Monday.

Up to 15cm of snow could fall on high ground, with 1-3cm of snow on low level inland areas, while ice is likely to form on untreated surfaces, said the Met Office website.

The snow is coming!

I like the snow. I like the 'winter wonderland' effect and I very much enjoy throwing the odd snowball.

Does anybody else like the snow too?

We've had a white Christmas for the last 3 years...... Don't mind it when I'm tucked safely at home and don't have to go anywhere.

However, I have to travel to get to work and last year they closed the school mid morning and we had a nightmare trying to get all the kids home. By the time they had gone. We couldn't get out of the city at all.... and had to spend the night on a camp bed in a hotel.

Its scary trying to go down hills when the car starts to slide....the car in front slammed into a wall but I put the ESP on... and it juddered to a halt thank goodness.

Then there is the digging the car out when its like an ice cube covered in snow and all the locks are frozen...I've been through the hatch back before now and wriggled into the driving seat.

So mixed feelings....If it gets here... Im dreading the morning.

Hi ISA,

Does anybody else like the snow too?

I don't mind the stuff, but I don't much like its resultant slush. I am reminded of the phrase: there's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes. I suppose the phrase's insight holds true in most circumstances.


Go well.

Sledge comes to mind lol.

Years back when there were not many cars ,,one was happy to walk and slide ,,my dad had to walk for 6 miles doing his job,,i never heard him groan about it ,, nurses walked to work ,,ahhhh happy days. ;D

[Spellbound454]

Sure... but Ive got to go 25 miles Piff...I'd probably die on route if I had to walk it in snow.

It's December so you would likely expect snow to fall. I like building snowmen rather than making snowballs, snow angels, etc etc.

Here are few funny pics...
