Somebody had to start it.   

I've just battled my way for about a mile round trip (which is a very short walk for us) with my dog.  It was really hard work and my mood wasn't improved by a guy sitting in a van at the side of the road on the 'phone to someone, obviously laughing his head off at the two of us struggling along.  As we drew up alongdside he was grinning like an ape.  If my hands hadn't been so frozen I'd have given him one of my legendary salutes but decided not to bother this time.  We were against the wind all the way there but it was behind us on the way back which was wonderful!  There is definitely an Arctic feel to that wind.  I wish we'd have some nice snow.

Someone seemed to be throwing stones at my windows earlier. It was hail. Very windy, but no snow yet.

Me too  I like taking photos of snow

Started snowing here at 4.40pm 

Looks wet rather than white 

Well, here in SE London it's been lovely today, very cold but bright and dry.. no snow yet!

Well, it's nice to know that some of my suggestions are taken on board (excuse the pun)!!

Really windy here and rainy but I got home in 30mins which is unusual astonishing!

Very light snow here - only visible on the lawns, not enough to be interesting. Wouldn't make a snowball, let alone a snowman.

I didn't like the look of this report when I read it just now.  Just a 1 to 3 foot rise of the Thames level will wreak catastrophe. That doesn't look so unlikely considering the weird weather conditions we've experienced over the last few months.   

By Jeremy Lovell Reuters - 2 hours 9 minutes agoLONDON (Reuters Life!) - From floods to freezes and famines London's climate has changed throughout history and the city has always bounced back.

But the current phase of human-induced global warming is of a different order of magnitude and the outcome is far less certain, according to a new exhibition at the Museum of London.

"Climate change happens and has always happened and people have had to adapt to it," said curator Jon Cotton. "This time it is different. Never before have we had 6.5 billion people on the planet pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere."

The exhibition, which takes the form of a timeline with audiovisual support, tracks the key climatic events in the history of the city.

Among others it notes the great whirlwind of 1091, the big freeze of 1170, the drought of 1342, the big freeze of 1826, the floods of 1928 and 1953 and the heatwaves of 1976 and 2003 and notes that each time the city survived.

For several centuries a combination of what is termed the Little Ice Age and the constricted flow of the River Thames because of the old London Bridge, it was frequently cold enough in winter to hold fairs on the frozen river.

But that is all changing.

"There is a sugar coating on this pill but there is still a pill and we have to swallow it," Cotton said.

"London is low lying and one of the most at risk capital cities globally. A rise of one to three feet in the level of the Thames will overtop the Thames Barrier and flood the city," he added.

The exhibition notes that by 2050 Britain's winters are predicted to be 1-2 degrees Celsius warmer and wetter with the summers 1.5-3.5 degrees hotter and 30-40 percent drier.

It ends with a prediction that by 2080 sea level rise from melting polar icecaps due to global warming could raise the level of the Thames by up to three feet.

"The Thames and London are inextricably linked. No Thames. No London. It is the reason the city is here and could be the reason for its downfall," Cotton said.
