Good morning everyone 
Cold and cloudy here with the possibility of a bit of snow though not expected to be much. There must have been some overnight as there are some flakes on the car but very few of them.
I hope everyone has a good day 
Short clip on the BBC site of the snow in Moscow:

Although the visual content and the music are quite light-hearted, the clip mentions that one person had died so I think there's poor judgement made when choosing the music.
Good morning everyone, it's very cold but not even a frost so I'm hoping we won't get any of the wintery stuff.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning it’s snowing here but melting on the roads, it’s settling a little on the paths
squiggle, what are you looking forward to the most in your grocery delivery?
We've got some sleet but my grocery delivery arrived on time 
I ordered some caramel panna cotta Summer so that's probably what I'm looking forward to the most.
El Loro posted:Moonie, I'm glad your snow has gone if you do find that your medication is ready
Summer, as I know you love snow I hope you get some settling so that you can scrunch away when you are walking
Squiggle, I'm glad your groceries have arrived
Thanks El
Its turned out rather nice here, for now 
It's unlikely that any of us have heard of Billie Ritchie. He was born in Glasgow and was a silent film comedian with more than a passing resemblance to charlie Chaplin.

A nervous farmer from Aberdeenshire rang the polce as he had seen a tiger in his cowshed. Several police vehicles including armed police were sent to the farm:

If any of you have wondered where the word suffragette came from, it came from the Latin word suffragium meaning a vote.

Do we know who first use the word ‘Suffragette’ El?

Originally the various women's suffrage groups called themselves suffragists. Then in 1906, Charles E Hands, a joumalist wrote an article in the London Daily Mail deriding them calling them suffragettes. The suffragists decided to embrace the term hardening the g to suffraGETtes to show that they had every intention of getting the right to vote. The word suffrage comes from the French word (same spelling) which came from the Latin word I mentioned. Suffrage does not come from the word suffer which comes from a different Latin word.
We had some snow but some is melting now.
Busy day with the tiddlers
Hope you’ve all stayed warm and had a good day
Goodnight and sweet dreams, all
night yogi summer if you pop in
Good morning everyone
Sunny with some clouds and still cold here - the amount of snow which fell here yesterday was no more than a few flakes.
Yesterday was the day the BBC ceased using the Met Office for weather data by moving over to a Dutch provider called Meteogroup. That's why their maps have changed. On the BBC site, you now get data for each hour for 14 days and a map for today and tomorrow or for the coming week by 3 hourly periods for the first couple of days then 6 hourly.
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone
Weather is cold and frosty.
El, I noticed yesterday that the BBC weather site had changed
Catching up on housework and ironing.
Have a good day, all
Good morning everyone, the sleet did turn into snow for a short while yesterday but it didn't hang around for long and was all melted away a couple of hours later. It's a beautiful morning here, I hope it lasts.
Enjoy your day everyone
More snow here today but it isn’t lying.
There is still some from yesterday on the pavements and gardens but the roads are clear.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie, Summer and Ros
*night owls* 🦉 good evening I hope you’ve all had a good day
i had planned a lazy day today but the sun came out and we had blues skies.. after a lovely walk, I’ve done my best Cinderella impression on my house and my best Jamie Oliver impression in the kitchen

Sweet dreams everyone
Good morning very cloudy here, and chilly again, it’s a grey grey day!
Lol El, I was quite proud of my domestic goddess efforts yesterday the house looks beautiful
Good morning everyone, cloudy here too and I think it's a little less cold but I haven't ventured out yet. Summer the panna cotta was delicious, a lot like a crème caramel.
Enjoy your day everyone
El Loro posted:On my local news website. The article makes no mention of anyone being injured. It's not known how this happened - no other vehicles involved and the car has since been removed.
Yikes, El!
Hi everyone. Forgot to post in here this morning.
lol Summer, we should call you Cinderoliver from now on
Moonie, it’s chilly up here too....and rainy.
Glad you enjoyed the panna cotta, Squiggle.

El Loro posted:Moonie, sounds as if the wind there was what was making you feel so cold, I hope you are warm and cosy now
I'm not sure the driver of that car was parking. Might have been making a three point turn at speed
The time I was out and in, the wind didn’t have time to land on me El 
Warm and cosy I am a fankoo
It makes you wonder how anyone walked away from that car
Yogi, I hope you’re warm and cosy now
