If I can get my camera going tomorrow, then we will have a live feed from my garden. This will be the last feed from here as we are moving to Cornwall very soon.

New DJI drone due this morning - Hopefully it can get a test run over the Welsh Valleys mountains in the snow tomorrow! :)

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much; we're just in the MO amber warning area for snow but all the forecasts seem to predict rain, with a couple of hours of sleet during the small hours.

Time will tell!

Sadly I feel its mostly going to be Sleet-watch! IF / When any snow does fall away from the hills and mountains (likely only in the heaviest bursts) we're likely to be in zzzzz land!

Not snow, but red warning for wind up to 100mph in the south west. Stay safe everyone.

Did someone mention a storm? No sign of it here, no rain, no snow and no wind. Pretty boring really.

Bucket loads of snow here in the Derbyshire Dales. Cars being abandoned and I struggled to get back up the hill even with winter tyres fitted.

HR9, on reasonably high ground in Herefordshire. 02:04 - I've just been woken by a series of power cuts. We don't even have a flake of snow. It's just rained the entire time. Rubbish!!! Edit: We were under the M.O.'s amber warning for snow.

So overall, the snow from Storm Goretti, was pretty disapointing we did end up with two feet of snow in our garden

This was about 14 miles south of me last evening... makes a big difference if you get away from the coast.. Make sure you have the sound turned up!
