Damp and cold, beast from the east forecast from Sunday to Wednesday.
Have you seen the scenes from the east coast of USA?, especially New Jersey and Idaho.
Few snow flakes falling, other than that cold a breezy

Ditto, the river is at alert level so I'm hoping we don't have too much today!
Forecast is overcast for the week, yet this morning has had more sun than cloud, lovely to look at but really nippy in the wind at 2°
North easterly wind blowing hard, it’s about 2’C out there.
Got a dusting of graupel when I went out to feed the birds, but it's stopped again. Bitterly cold, though!

I had to look up graupel, new one to me. Every day's a school day. Thanks Eyren.

You're welcome! I discovered the word a few years ago - it's very helpful for describing the kind of snow we tend to get here in East Anglia. I'm not sure that what we get is true graupel, as it's not as big as hail and not associated with either thunderstorms or high altitudes, but I find it a handy word to refer to the tiny spherical snow particles that don't look at all like classic snowflakes.
Snow on the ground this morning and just started again, fairly heavy
