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

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

deep and crisp and even here in Gravesend Kent
and still coming down

Well - that rules out shopping today Lilybids - lol

weve had thunder and lightening long with snow in middlesbrough x

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

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.

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.

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.

Morning Peeps,

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

Take Care.

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.
