Lot of the white stuff fell last night in Sussex, still snowing here ay12.15. Not nice at akll.

more snow in the boro

but the schools back open
estate roads deadly and the buses stop at 7 pm

Here in Derbyshire, it is dire. Over 300 schools and colleges closed. Very few buses running. A lorry jack-knifed up the town yesterday tea-time and further up the same road it was totally blocked to Derby itself. All roads out of the north of the county were closed off by yesterday afternoon eg. Snake Pass, Cat and Fiddle, Woodhead Pass. Bin men gave up halfway round yesterday, and did'nt take my bin. Milk man has not got through yet, today. We had another 6-8 inches in the night, ontop of what we already had, and more is forecasted.
The OH was going to attempt to get his German tank made chariot off the drive this morning but has decided to walk it up instead.
My beautifully planted hanging baskets, with winter pansies and cyclamen are now sporting an 8 inch white top hat.
Needless to say, I am staying indoors for the foreseeable future.
Take Care all, and keep warm

Knowing this lot round here they will probably have eaten them.**M**.

Yes Merlin, I just knew you would have your priorities right, but only one bottleLOL. As regards the pickles, you will have to blame the Royal Mail, they always get busy and behind hand with deliveries at this time of year.LOLOL

Merlin, I bet I can guess what was ontop of your trolly, and it wasn't bog roll. Yes I know, you'll say you have to get your priorities right. LOLOL

Just starting again here in Sussex,most of the stuff we had the other day has gone but expect it to come back with a vengance tonight and tomorrow, so got all the shopping done today.Take care.**M**.

icey as hell her in the N.E but still snowin so makes it a bit easyier to walk on.
some schools cold but were 1 off the lucky 1s ours is still open lol yayyyyy

Amokavid, I am all too a regular user of the Emercency services, and am living in dread of having to call the Ambulance out, because of the roads down where I live. The main roads are being kept fairly clear, but it is the side roads that are suffering, despite being gritted every night, so far.

Morning Peeps,

Just started to snow here again, daughter is home as the college has been closed.

Take Care.

Listening to the 'School Closures' list on local radio this morning, I noted that the worst of the snow must have stopped in a town about 5 miles north from here, but went up to Glossop and the Hope Valley, veering to Hayley county. I hope it stops there. I was hoping to go out today to have a spend in Dun Elm. Oh well, perhaps better luck tomorrow.

No drastic snow fell in Aberdeen last night and just
had a few flakes fall in the past 10mins. Roads still
a disgrace but thats nothing new from any other year
for our council. Stay safe and warm everyone.
