Good morning from Gloucester.About an inch of snow here this morning and more lightly falling at the moment. Very heavy sky too so could be more to follow. Glad we went shopping yesterday so wont have to go out today.

Few miles from Linda !!!!!!

Bloody hells bells !!!
4 inches of snow and
NO GRIT NONE AT ALL NOT EVEN MAIN ROADS

M4 big problems at J13 down towards Swindon!!!! Radio says dont use
A4 been shut all morning ...and it is !!!

BAD BAD and snowing HEAVY

NOW A34 shut north bound from Tot hil to Newbury

M3 and M4 bad

bus services stopped!!!

Conwy. 9.25 am

Tried to get into work this morning, 4 miles away. Still no buses - since 3 pm yesterday. Son tried to take me by car, couldn't get out of town - had to abondon it. Roads not gritted since just after 9 pm last night.

Will wait and see if the buses start running later because I have no intention of walking - too treacherous and all uphill.

Snow overnight here - couple of inches or so. The sun is out and it's very pretty. We have escaped the worst so far, as we are in a 'pocket' between the Mendips and Salisbury Plain and often miss heavy snow/rain and storms.

10 35 am, snow has just stopped here, still looks likely to start again, but roads are not that thick with snow. Others not too far away have had a large amount. temp 3.0

well here in Cardiff we now have twice what we had yesterday - reckon we have nearly two feet of snow!! very pretty indeed but no one is going anywhere!!!

Plenty of snow in Hampshire overnight/morning about 6". Son going to concert London tonight - decided last night to take the train then and there. Well he is there wonder when he will get back! Don't think many places free of snow now.

10.52am Sat 18.12.10 Monmouth

As with Jean about an inch, stopped about half hr ago. More up there though!!

Son was coming from Halesowen tody, but roads between him & Tewksbury hazardous and accident has hampered roads aswell:o((( He may try tomorrow, we'll have to see...l'd rather they are all safe!!

Good Morning everyone,
freezing here in Corby.
A light sprinkling of snow left over from last night, but no more.... YET.
Stay warm folks.... hot chocolate and feet up weather I think.
Actually.... we have no hot chocolate in the house, must rectify this as early as possible.

good morning all,
east sussex, walked up to village earlier ,inch of snow then , coming down hard now . roads salted , cars and buses moving.shops had got fresh bread , milk ect .(got extra bread and milk for freezer) . by the way it is coming down now ,we will have 4 inches by tonight . good luck to you all, take care ,iris

Looked out of the window at 6am - just frost on cars and the road.
Went back to bed, got up at 9am - 2 inches had fallen!
No local bus (of course!) - in fact no buses in Winchester at all!!!
True to form, the M3 is running smoothly, though traffic is sparse. Only the fortunate few, who either live on main roads or who have had local roads gritted can get out, I suppose.
Looking at 'Traffic England' , it's running smoothly in Hampshire, but when it gets to Surrey, it looks like it hasn't been gritted.

Yes Maggie, I know how you feel.
We live in an area where the housing is for the sick and disabled.
The paths outside our doors are gritted.... great... but that is as far as we can go.
Those of us who are lucky enough to have family who care are being cared for.
How many people have no one to look after them, and cannot get out to do for themselves, I wonder?
The wardens are very good, but their time is limited.
Hope you are all manging.

Son just got home from Bournemouth to Milton Keynes. One lane open on the M3 and 2 on the M25. had to go that way because the A34 was closed. Took him 4.5 hours instead of the usual 2. Glad he's home anyway.

Dear All

Hello

Hope you are all okay.

Plenty of snow in East London.

One bus trundled by an hour ago on the main road.

Some youngsters shizzed by on a home made sleigh.

No grit on the roads.

Take gentle care all
Very best wishes

Snowing gently here again now.

It is like the North Pole here in North Wales, the temp has dropped very quickly the last hour, and still it is trying for more snow, wouldn't be surprised if it is -10c tonight!

Have stayed indoors and done all my xmas wrapping, so one big job out of the way at least!

Take care everyone.
