Yes, another boring 'snow weather report' thread. But the 'guys' that just
came down from the sky were a good 3 x 1.5 inches, the occaisonal one maybe

Never mind 50p pieces. These things were like giant Goose feathers.
Slight covering on the grass, roof, but melting on the roads and pavements.



... must have been a snow goose ... (groan)

Seriously though, I do not think I have seen any flakes that size here.


When were toddlers we were told when it was snowing that it was
"Mother Goose shaking her feather-beds".

Featherbeds belong to the days when one had to breath on the windows on
a frosty morning, then scrape the "ice ferns" off.
