(12,640 posts)and doing, from appearances, a fairly decent job of "distancing" -- unlike for instance, a pub, a cafe, a church, the tube -- or a sporting event.
(also hard to catch a snowflake on your tongue, whilst wearing a mask)
Maybe give it a rest -- for 10-20 seconds?

(14,798 posts)It was very noticeable that people didn't go out to play in the stuff, stayed working from home and because people weren't going out the roads stayed bad for longer and not many people were clearing the snow off their own drives, pavements and roads either.

I'd be happier if people went belt and braces and wore masks as well as socially distancing outside in our major cities, but then I'm a country dweller (and very much a stay-at-home nowadays).
Still, it's a cute cat on a leash in the snow, and I'll take it in the spirit it was offered.

(102,340 posts)Just one loud, massively echoing bang, about 6:40am - when it wasn't actually snowing (or raining) at my place (it did start soon after), and I hadn't noticed lightning. There's a recording of it here, from the other side it seems: https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/19035031.met-office-confirms-overnight-thundersnow-hampshire/
I spent half an hour thinking it was probably an explosion, until local radio disabused me.

I do find, however, that wearing a mask, apart from its intended purpose, protects the old nose and throat from the worst of the icy damp air.
