About an inch fell over night here in Telford area, sky looks as if there's more to come. The roads were all clear yesterday after the first dusting though, going out in an hour or so will see how they are today.

DetEcTive,
No going out for me, you never know some kind person might knock to see if I want any shopping.

weve had thunder and lightening long with snow in middlesbrough x

Well - that rules out shopping today Lilybids - lol

9-30
deep and crisp and even here in Gravesend Kent
and still coming down

Hi all. I'm in Wolverhampton, West Midlands and we have had about 1" overnight. The snow is very soft, I am concerned about it freezing over tonight and more snow is expected during the day. At the moment, the roads are clear of snow and ice (main roads) and traffic not too bad as school runs are cancelled in our area. It is biting cold and temperatures are not rising above freezing. Suggest any shopping be done today as tomorrow may not be as good to travel.

SheilaWestWilts -probably too late, but a friend on another thread within driving distance of Luton says there has been a dusting.

N Kent (nr A2 & M25) has had about 1 1/2 ins overnight and it is still snowing. There is probably more further up the N Downs, but I'm not going to find out - lol

Mr. snowman has been in the night here in North Wales! A good few inches and now the wind is getting up and blowing it around, a good day for present wrapping me thinks!

Take are on the roads everyone if you are venturing outside!

Hi - is anyone in the Luton area? OH is supposed to be going there tomorrow (from Wiltshire) - a bit worried! He won't go if weather is bad. We don't have any snow here yet but its very cold.

Hubs has just arrived home and said temp outside is - 10c.

Lxxx

Just peeped outside and the stars are twinkling here in Wales -7c

No snow or frost at the moment in south coastal Kent, but just a few miles away on higher ground the weekend snow still lingers, although not more than a good dusting.
Tomorrow morning might be a different story though........!

EDIT
O.H. just driven home and said outside temperature is 4 degrees C, so not bad here at present.

Just started in N Kent and the Metoffice page has turned from 'Be Aware' to 'Be Prepared'! Hope we don't need the wellie boots...haven't shaken the spiders out of them yet - lol

Snowed in here in West Lothian, dug the drive out yesterday (approx 10 inches) when it eventually stopped snowing Oh said your wasting your time it's going to snow again, sure enough the same amount of snow fell during the night and covered the drive again, so I've given up for now! It's also freezing cold, kept the heating on all night last night. Couldn't get out to feed the birds, so threw the nuts and seeds out of the bedroom window for them!! Not sure what the neighbours thought I was doing?? Schools and Uni. are closed, kids having great fun in the snow.
Take care in this freezing weather.

even though we have lots of snow
we have just had a massive flash of lightening and thunder

No snow here in south Hampshire......hope it stays that way too!!

It's been a beautiful sunny day but the temperature is dropping fast now and getting quite cloudy, grey ones not white ones.

Stay safe all of you who have got snow.

We have had a good covering here, in mid Derbyshire, like many others. Whilst driving home from Derby city centre at lunch-time, we are north of there, it looked very picturesque, but that is where the sentiment stops. I am only too well aware, what more snow on top of what we have, will be like. If you do not have to go out, then DON'T
My one conselation is that, my garden looks the same as everyone elses.
Keep safe everyone, and take care.

Its a beautiful sunny day in North Devon and I just had a gentle stroll down the beach with the mutt. There's no shortage of surfers in the sea at Saunton but as someone told me, its warmer in than out.

Had some white stuff yesterday, a little flurry of it today, roads clear went to Hastings and did some shopping but Ithink were going to get a lot more in East Sussex. Soon.**M**

one of my dogs is a bichon pup! his legs arent long enough to allow him to have a wee without getting his belly in the snow, im not going into detail but wel you can see why i made the statement above, one of my kids works in thirsk and made it into work this morning but im calling him home the minute it starts getting to bad, at least they have mum to come to the rescue as my 4 x 4 is all fueled up and snow kept clear, only trouble is the other car users not being able to get out the way. thats where i have problems, have alook at the other thread i started as you can see when we are going to get some more snow coming,

as for coming over here to go shoping, take care with the parking nazis, they are very vicious about it all,
