Are any of you affected by the very early snow fall we are having here in the UK?
Here are some beautiful pictures:

Sorry about the size, here is the link to the site.

(Now I am waiting for Woodrow to tell us what real snow looks like! :D)

You're right, it's freezing. We're always different when it comes to snow :-\

I love it when it's all fresh and powdery, but when it settles it looks yucky.
 
I'm a little further south, and we are snow-free so far too - although we may get some snow through the night.
I don't mind the snow, as long as I don't have to drive in it!
 
Much of Central/East Scotland is snow-free for now. There was a few snowdrops during the night, but after it had finished the ground was still almost completely dry.

Hoping to get some soon, the snow really brightens up a dark winter.
 
So far we have been having an unusually mild winter. We did not have our first blizzard until Oct 27-28 and then we had a few days of warm weather and it all melted. This week it started snowing last Saturday and has been snowing every day but the weather unit today was extremely cold and the snow was tiny ice crystals that blew off ot the flat surfaces, but on Sunday I did take a few pictures. Here they are:

It is still snowing, but the temperature is warmer and now the snowflakes are bigger, moister and fluffier so we should get a good accumulation. I'll try to take more pictures today or tomorrow we expect the current snow storm to last at least 2 or 3 more days.
 
Last night at north Finland was -30 of celcius. Wind comes here from North Pole via Siberia.

Freezing...
 
We too had early snow fall here, it was so severe that my camera didn't survive to take the pictures, even I suffered from hypothermia. ;D;D;D

LOL JK
 
Assalaamu`alaaykum

its been freeezing here lately, and snowed a few flakes but not enough to cover the ground and make it look like it has a beautiful white blanket!

But yeah insha`Allaah it will be snowing here soon, as the weather is becoming cold.

At brother Woodrow@ Do the Horses feel cold, or is the furr coat of the Horse thick enough to protect it? and the pictures were awesome masha`Allaah, jazakallaahu khaayr for sharing.

Have a geeky snowy winter everyone! :-\

Wa`alaaykum salaam

:wa:

The horses depend on high calorie food and a build up of fat on their bodies to protect them from the cold. This time of year they are quite expensive to feed. It costs from $10 to $25 per day to feed the stabled horse they each get from 5-15 pounds of sweet mix and 20 -40 pounds of mixed grains Daily depending on the size of the horse. The Range Horses have ample grazing forage and they get about 4 tons (8,000 pounds) 350 pounds per horse of hay per week to feed. The hay costs about $20 per ton.
 
^Subhaan`Allaah that seems a lot, but that is amazing, hope your Horses survive uncle Woodrow!

And @ A'râf -That is some amazing snow you got there subhaan`Allaah

It snows only like 1 foot or a half a foot here or something and it feels like its snowed loads :-\

Snow is soo white!
 
We've had a dusting of snow overnight. How about anybody else?
 
Same here :D
It's settled on the rooftops only, looks sooo pretty mashaAllah! =D
 
We had snow here,a couple of days ago. Although todays rain showers have washed them away,if it snows again i will hopefully remember to take photographs of it and upload them,insha'Allaah.
 
Well, all we got was a dusting of snow - but enough to motivate me to go out for an early morning walk with the camera.

What's unusual is that the leaves were quite late falling this year, and then we got this early snow - so it's a strange combination of autumn leaves and winter snow ...
The blowing leaves left their dark patterns in the fresh dusting of snow:

The berries are also still on the trees (in this case rosehips):

The sheep don't look too bothered:
