Just looked out, nope no snow here (well other than the frozen stuff on the ground,)

Hi gang - it's been coming down for hours now!!!! and a strong wind with it - next door's car is slowly disappearing

Well is it ever going to stop up the Valleys !! I think not we are in for a shock in the morning.I take it back im going to build the biggest snowman ever ! whoopy it brings memories back to when I was young a proper winter at last, perhaps now we will have a proper summer too

Summer is scheduled for one day in July I think!!!

do you think we are in for more of the stuff just when i thought it was clearing up
none here at the moment in yorkshire but its bitterly cold

Its still coming down here but not so hard, we have over an inch. Dog thinks its great:o))
AnnGG....hope you will be ok??
jude :o)

I'll be fine Jude - lived through far worse than this when I was a kid - 1947 - now that was snow to remember!!!!

oh bless
my mum is in her late 70s
and she was they same making sure i was ok

I'm well peed off! No snow - but the slush is freezing well!
We had buses on Monday.
I watched to see the 08:10 bus go by on Tuesday - yay it went by - we still had buses.
I slid out (pavements still 3 inches deep in ice) at 08:35 to catch the 08:40 bus - to turn the corner and see a bus in the middle of the road!
This was the 08:10 bus - stuck on a corner.
No buses then
I staggered up the road - yes it was still icy for a mile, when, the roads incredibly became clear - shame about the pavements.
In the centre of town, I could stop walking like Poirot.
Unfortunately all this careful walking on ice has had a consequence - the knee I had cartilage removed from 2 years ago, has swelled up, is grinding and rather painful (a bit like toothache)
We will no longer have buses until the road has been gritted, and I'm reluctant to walk 2 miles to work ( at least half of that on ice), as it's obviously 'opening old wounds' in my knee!
However, anyone (the majority) who gets to work by car would say it's 'clear as a bell' in Winchester. Of course, they stick to the main roads - We, ( the majority) who live on the 'outskirts' can, apparently like it or lump it!
I'd love to see the doctor about my knee - but that means walking to town , and if I can do that, I suppose I can walk another half mile to work......

Well, we are deep in snow again, all vehicle tracks obliterated. Thank goodness we managed to get out and get some cat food etc yesterday. Also managed to get to my physio session, but I doubt will get to optician again tomorrow. that will be the 3rd time to cancel! Still snowing!

It is snowing in central London, small and damp but it has settled.

Maggie....you stay in now, you don't want anymore damage done to your knee....are you all stocked up??

We have another 3 to 4 ins and believe it or not, l could hardly beleve my eyes but a TRACTOR has just been in our close clearing the snow, a number of us nosey neighbours were watching and l took photo's. l pressume it was a council tractor!!?

Me and OH are walking to the shop in a mo but thats only a 5 min walk (usually), l really need to get out!!

Ann GG...hows things this morning??

jude :o)

Where I am in Cardiff we have quite a lot of snow and it's still snowing on and off and as little ( chihuahuas ) as my dogs are they love it and have been jumping around the back garden,
Looked after the grandson yesterday and his dad rushed in and took him from me leaving Cardiff at 4.50 and had to leave his car at the bottom of the mountain and his other half met him and they had to carry Tom the rest of the way arriving home at 8.40 from what is a normally 40 minute trip, still all my family got home safe, yes Annie no matter how old you are we still worry

Take care everyone and stay safe

Pam

Hi Jude - I'm fine, but no one is going aywhere today - pretty deep here in Cardiff and coming down again as we speak!!

Where are you Pam? I'm in Whitchurch just off Jct 32 of the M4 near the Hollybush

hi snowing a lot in somerset wont be able to get out for a couple of days again.

Jude, the tractors are farmers who have been asked to help by the council, we had one up Oak Grove the last bit of snow, no sign today though. They always used to do it until the gritters took over. It started to thaw earlier, but next will be the Monnow flooding!
