I encountered a few flakes of snow a couple of nights ago as I was driving to a lesson through Cotgrave. But, so far, the Met Office warnings for the East Midlands hadn’t yielded any results.
Until this morning.
It’s not a lot, but this is the scene out of the back of the house this morning. And I’ve already had one pupil text me asking if the lesson is still on! Yes, it is – it’s only a dusting!
Perhaps more worryingly, there was an alert from the Met Office last night – two, in fact, with the second being issued about 10 minutes before it actually fell – about heavy snow for the East Midlands.
There are exisiting warnings for today, tomorrow, and Monday. And this one is a bit more concerning if it comes to anything (you can never be sure with the Met Office):
ADVISORY of Blizzards for East Midlands valid from 0001 Tue 30 Nov to 2359 Tue 30 Nov
I heard on the news yesterday that this is the earliest snow for something like 20 years.
