Oh No............ 3 snow flakes fell in the South East and the world is about to end and troops are on the streets to stop looting and civil disorder

Rather a nice run as the sun came up over Cheshire this morning, tiny bit of frost.. I even thought about gloves but decided it wasn't cold enough

I'm also cheating being in SE Norway but we only have about 2-3 cm falling right now so I guess we have all the snowploughs whereas you in the islands on the periphery of Europe have the snow

It snowed where I am in SW Scotland four days ago. And I'm attempting to run every day in December. It's been more like Bambi on ice so far...

We had a couple of centimetres in Surrey, and I was mightily pi$$ed off that I had to go to work.....

I would have loved to go for a nice long run over the Downs with some fresh snow on the ground - not least because it would have given me another chance to really try out the Stabilicers I bought last winter.

Yes in Suffolk, started at about 5.45 while I was running, gave me lovely virgin snow to run on, good fun and so pretty. Gone now.

I've just been out wearing a long sleeved compression top, another thick long sleeved top over that, another thin long sleeved top over that, an anorak, a full head hat , gloves and tracksters, I was still freezing cold and didn't break out into a sweat. It's just under 1°C here. I prefer it when it's 30°C.

Blimey you're nesh Lardarse The only concession I make to cold weather is a woolly hat. I can't even wear a long sleeved Helly Hansesn unless it's about -3, I get too hot after about 10 minutes.

Well it was about -12C and 4 m/s wind here. I wore a Bavac base layer, Adidas Tshirt, windtop and light Swiss Alpine jacket, mitts, hat, buff, shorts and long Helly Hansen socks. The snow had stopped by the time I got home. I think 4 top layers was a bit overkill. The Salomon Speedcross 3 shoes worked well in 2 to 3 cms new snow. The Petzl Nao headtorch also did well on snow. It sensor was not thrown by backscatter.
