    I'm in Glasgow. It's pretty bad, basically looks like a snow blizzard outside and can hardly see for the snow falling. Icicles are hanging from lampposts and it is so cold my partner suffered from frostnip after helping a guy push his car. Me on the other hand I have a couple days off work due to the weather so plan to build a massive snowman with my brother tomorrow lol.

    I have honestly never seen weather like this before in Scotland. It looks like it's getting worse tonight tbh.

    I don't live that far from Glasgow and it's pretty bad here too! Can barely see anything out my window. My step dad had to go out to pick up his car but could barely see in front of him. It's horrible.

    I've heard there's a red weather warning until Saturday. I'm suppose to be working both tomorrow and Saturday and have a review meeting in college on Friday but trains have been cancelled and people have been advised not to travel. Looks like I've been just staying in my bed those days haha

    Yeah iv heard a few different things on news. First one said it's red warnings extended to Saturday with weather set to be worse than people had first thought. Now I'm hearing it's red until 10am tomorrow morning and switching to amber until 6pm. But a strong amber warning so basically treated the same as red. Amber for Friday and then yellow for Saturday.... but they have said this weather will last all week. I will be treating it as red warning as long as it looks wild outside! Not worth taking the risk.

    I'll be doing the exact same. It isn't worth the risk at all

    It actually feels warmer with the snow than before it snowed.

    Yeah, I’ve been sulking since the last one ended :lol:

    Winter is okay if you enjoy staying in watching TV/Netflix but, for anybody outdoorsy... it sucks!!!

    I started sulking in January because I'm just so tired of the cold;

    Ugh, I know. Because of how cold it is I feel so unmotivated to workout or go to the gym! I hate it!

    Seems like the weather has other plans for us!

    Hopefully not!!

    As it should. When snow falls it creates an exothermic reaction warming the air around the snowflakes. Go science!

    The worst bit.. relying on public transport in central London when a tiny bit of snow comes down!!

    To be honest I’ve just been nearly knocked over by 2 people doing the exact same thing in St James Park!

    There’s a time and and a place... this, isn’t it!

    Us here in the UK don't handle the snow, we all either stay home or rush out to empty the shops. This is roads near where I live
