We have had it since last wednesday and I am sick of it .Have yet to see a snow plough !!!!

Had to go into town yesterday and our main street had snow and ice and was very dangerous so you can imagine the side streets .

Have had to clear the drive every day though I don't know why I bother as there is no way I would drive in this .

Keep safe and warm everyone

light snow falling here at the moment but only a few flakes.

Horizontal blizzard blowing here in Sheffield,co-op lorry stuck outside our house,why they turn out in this weather I don't know.

Looks like we will have to offer the driver a bed for the night.


Hay ho.

North Nottinghamshire , 1500hrs, had more snow overnight so we've about 18" outside now, managed to get into work this afternoon quite easily once I got out of our estate, and I don't have a 4x4 either. The gritters had been out and the local farmers are running about with thier tractors helping to keep roads clear
Passenger train cancelled between Sheffield and Lincoln due to mainly fallen trees, but I'm here as they are hoping to run coal into the local power stations, although I've been told they may have to run a snow plough through first! Thats a first for me in 22 years on the railway

Oh and Lincoln Christmas Market [this weekend] has been cancelled, first time in 28years that has happened
Stay safe and keep warm

Loads of more snow overnight here in Sheffield,it is now two ft deep in my garden,drifting to much higher in places.

Did anyone notice the wierd,tangerine colour of the sky last night?

Buses .trams and trains all at a standstill,as far as I know,Hubby has abandoned plans to travel up to Barnsley to collect his new car,if anyone knows of the whereabouts of his stolen one,would you tell the thieves that if they come back,they can have the caravan to go with it!

Having great fun watching my cats navigating the snow.

M62 over the Pennines/ Rochdale, junction 20 to 26 closed both lanes snow,

Daughter works in Huddersfield , so bit of a worry,over the pennines is a dogy road in any weather !!

Gloucester. No snow but an extremely hard fros so the residues of snow left on our side road is frozen solid and very icy looking. Brilliant sunshine at the moment and beautiful blue skies. Sna't go out unless the ice melts though, Still very cold, don't know what the temp is.

Morning Gals, we must have had another 6-8 inches in the night, on top of what we had already got. Late yesterday afternoon, all roads out the north of this county were closed, Cat and Fiddle,Snake Pass, Woodhead Pass. This morning, I do not think there is a school in the entire county open, and just listeneing to the local radio, many bus routes are closed also.
Visitations from the gritting wagon, down here, are futile on top of all this snow. The milk man has not been able to deliver yet, but I heared children outside playing about 6.00 this morning, little blighters.
The OH is going to attempt to move his German tank made chariot of the drive this morning, to fetch some provisions, as two ambulances have been able to get through to the end of the street, from the main road.
I must say, as I sit here typing, and the sun is out, it looks lovely out in the garden, but that is where my sentiments end LOLOL
Take Care all

Morning Report from West Berkshire at 7:15am
Clear a little snow left from yesterday. Cold, but not freezing.

M3 closed between junction 2 and 3 at Bagshot? due to an "incident" from BBC 1 news.

Hope those in other parts of the country have a better day, and that the snow eases.

Think everyone has had enough of it by now.

Take care

Linda :o)

It's meant to be the first day of summer here but there has been so much rain I think we all need web feet. The weather report says rain for the next 5-7 days. Great.

Even though it's raining I'm still in shorts and a tee shirt as it's very humid. I can handle the hot weather but the humidity saps all your energy.

Libby,I don't know what the weather is like city centre,we live up in the clouds looking over Derbyshire.

The gritters seem to be around a lot though,keeping the bus routes open,so the M1 should be ok.
