Micro 4/3 This is what "hammered" looks like . . .

Remember this . . . first light from the foul weather camera?

This is what hammered by a snowstorm looks like (from this am)

Cheers, Jock

Jock,
We're told that that low pressure system giving you all that snow is heading towards the UK, thankfully the influence of the Atlantic means it should give us a lot or rain and not that white stuff, thank goodness.

Barrie,

At least you don't have to shovel rain!

Cheers, Jock

We got aa few inches yesterday. Looking forward to getting out in it today when walking the dog.

my condolences. We've yet to have a measurable snowfall here......just fine with me.

Wow, that reminds me of some ski trips I did years ago up in the Rocky Mountains.
Build a snow man!

I would love some snow right now.

You're short of snow in Finland, in December?

Unfortunately that is correct. Helsinki sees a very mid-European climate. The Gulf of Finland as a body of water keeps things warm. A white christmas is not a given around here.

Go 300 km up north, and the story is completely different.

I moved 450 km down south in 2019, expecting some loss of snow but this is a bit unexpected. Now I will move 50 km back up. It might help a bit, snow wise.

This is how it used to be for me. Over a hundred yards of driveway to be kept clear. Good exercise. I enjoyed it. We Finns can be crazy like this.

That's a good 12-18 inches at Jock's house. We got about seven inches at my place. But it was a foot or more a few miles to the west and rain a few miles to the east.
