0855hrs Nottinghamshire [North A1/A57/A638] got about 4" and snowing now, also the wind is stronger than it has been. No idea what the main roads are like, but they hadn't been gritted when I came home from work at 2200hrs last night and it was settling then.

Hope everyone keeps safe and well

NOTE TO MIDLOTHIAN COUNCIL:: GET OFF YOUR BUTTS AND GET GRITTING ALL THE ROADS THAT MATTER.

Here in Gloucester this morning a light fall of snow, about 1cm, enough to cover the road surface but schools open as far as I know.

Here in Telford,Shrops' about an inch over night ,sky looks as if there's more to come.

Margaret Rose, bless your husband and other workers who try to keep us going when the weather is bad.

Here we have a burst pipe on the outside tap, despite lagging and taking every precaution so take care. OH at the moment trying to fix it. and he is not the best at plumbing jobs so will just go and find the plumbers number in case.....

Good idea Ann.

10.46a.m. has started to snow again here ~daughter is home as the college has been closed.

I have made a list of emergency numbers.

Ann i hope that you are o.k.

Essex.

six inches deep here.had to go to docs this morning and no roads have been gritted even main roads.very, very dangerous.
Do feel sorry for those who have to work in this weather.

About 8ins here in S Yorks, and more falling,although it feels a bit warmer now the wind has dropped.

Annina, please get out on that motorway, and stop it coming any further down to me. I'm only two junctions down from you, and we have enough of our own, thank you LOLOL
Julia in Derbyshire

Here in Southampton very cold, -1 daytime, no snow until today, very light fluttering of flakes, not settling. We dont often get snow here being so close to the coast and sheltered by Isle of Wight, so would like to see a little bit :) but of course realise to many it is an unwelcome inconvenience.
Am looking after the birds in my garden with fat balls, nuts, mixed seed , and niger seed for goldfinches and bird baths.:) They dont seem to mind having a bath at - temperatures.!!
End of forecast.!!!!

That's a lot of snow Anina. What is Sheffield city centre like? My son works there and lives in Elsecar and I've not been able to get hold of him. Knowing him he is working from home, wtrapped in a duvet ... I hope.

2.40 pm Tuesday

Very cold here in South West Scotland but luckily not too much snow - a light sprinkling last night on top of the 3/4 inch left from Friday night.

Schools closed - St Andrew's Day Holiday (well, 3 days actually)

All our main roads have been gritted and so (for the first time ever) our lane and the hill up to the church (there is a grit bin not at the top or bottom but half way up this hill!)

Keep warm everybody and take care outside.

Exmouth in Devon,3pm on Tuesday. Very cold with some ice around ,no snow but some cars are appearing in the town with snow on their bonnets so probably come from Exeter way or the moors.
