We're due for snow in Hampshire - a potential 40 cm's worth!!!!!
That's nearly half a metre, or 16 inches in old money, on lovely icy, frost covered pavements & roads!!!

.......and I've got work tomorrow.......

its boring now....

Agree Hayley. Especially when I get woken up by the traffic roaring along the M3 below me - only to find I can't even make it to the bus stop - even if the buses were running!

Haven't they cleared any round your way yet?

ruddy birds are jumping all over me display snow tsk


LOLOLOL no one can get anywhere dont think this town owns a snow plough...and dont get me started on gritters..its still snowing so they wont grit yet..

Think yourself lucky, we've had snow in Norfolk for two weeks now. OK not every day, but it's never completely melted away, and had a bit more this morning. It's stopped now, blue skies, but we know it's not for long.

I haven't been to see my mum to give her her Christmas presents yet, because of the ice and rail delays. I can't risk getting stuck there and leave my OH at home on his own overnight. We've put it off until the weather settles.

A lot up north have had it a lot worse this morning, we've only had about 1 cm in about 4 hours. But it's soooo cold I defrosted my freezer. I wrapped the food up in shopping bags and put the bags in bin liners, and stuck it outside to keep frozen lol

You not at work Hayley?

snowed in Teresa.....we too have had for the past 2 weeks it about a foot now.

With the slow thaw on the odd day or so we've only got a dusting left on the ground, but over that time we've probably had about a foot. too

We have been lucky here, very cold, frosty and icy but until today no snow, it is snowing hard now though

Yes Maggie it's apparently sweeping across the whole country from up north ........... Met Office have issued severe weather warnings across the board !!

UP AT TEESDALE NR US
THEY HAD 13 INCHES OVER NIGHT
OR SO THE TV HAS JUST SAID

Eeeh - us 'Soft Southerners' aren't used to it!!

Radio has just said what the Midlands have been getting is due to hit the rest of the country within the next few hours :O(

Looks like you will need your snow shoes!!!

No snow here but the roads leading out of Portsmouth are gridlocked. l just tried to get up to the hospital and it took me 40 minutes to do a mile so have come back home and will try again later, God what will it be like if we did have snow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stopped snowing here now.

Its pouring with rain here in Gosport so if it does snow I doubt it will settle.

The met have issued an extreme event weather warning for southern England. Especially for the counties in a triangular area just above Isle of Wight.

Theyre forecasting 15 to 30cms , possibly 40 cms of snow. Thats 6" to 12" possibly 16" of snow.

Also looking ahead for those of us who do get this. When it melts there'll be a risk of severe flooding.

Thanks Steve !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
