Steady small flakes of snow all day here near Channel coast have given us a good few inches of cover.
If we have this much, it's likely to be much worse on the roads on the hills.
Some local school / college closures announced for tomorrow already.

Have dug out the sturdy wooden sledge which I used for shopping in such weather when the children were young. Looks like I might need it this week.

There is a blizzard going on here , near Gt Yarmouth . Very tiny snow is blowing all over the place and it is bitterly cold :-0

I've got the fire on full blast and I'm wearing two jumpers but the end of my nose is still cold :-(

it looks full of snow at the moment Sue and my road is really clogged up - tyre tracks up the middle but the rest is still deep snow and the pavements are treacherous - it just does not seem to be melting away - still the same depth in my back garden, tree branches bowed down nearly to the ground in places - I have a large bay tree which has got too high and if I could get there now I could lop the top branches off - don't think I'll try it though

Bugger, bugger, bugger!

Just spoke with neighbours and nothing can access our road apart from 4 x 4s. So we won't be going there tomorrow. I am so disappointed :-(

Everything is compacted solid on the approach roads too and they are expecting more snow Tues and Weds.

Sue (at the coast without any snow at all)

where are you Lilybids?

Still snowing just hasn't stopped all day,,young men outside driving around with a
go-cart, idiots

Is he a Wizard, A Bird or A Rolls Royce Engine as used in the Spitfires.? :-D :-D :-D.Ps. look who else I,m Researching, I get everywhere on my Souped up Twin Turbo Zimmer With wings. :-D :-D :-D :-D ;-)

they definitely do !! I have a relative called Merlin - Merlin Breakspear

Yeh,its a bit of fun,Did,nt know they sold "Neccessaries" in Asda. :-D :-D :-D :-D

do like what you are researching Merlin :-D :-D :-D :-D

managed to dig my car out of the drive and gingerly negotiated my road - which is always a nightmare as it never ever gets salted - main roads clear, so managed to get to Asda to get some necessaries

we had light powdery snow earlier on but nothing since

Been Snowing since 7.30 am this morning in East Sussex. still at it,Birds are feeding well and bathing in their bath (After I unfroze it) cats decided to monopolise my armchair in front of the fire after taking a peek outside.just hope it stops soon and everyone on here are ok and warm.**M**.

No snow yesterday, husband cleared a path down the drive. It's been snowing again since around 8.30 this morning. Very fine and wet but it has covered his efforts.

Only 4 x 4 s have been up our road, we live at the bottom of a hill with no other way out but up.

Yesterday's family do was postponed, birthday girl couldn't get up from deepest Hampshire and eldest son was stuck on Exmoor.

Luckily no doctors appointments this week and I don't have to work until Wednesday and can walk if need be.

M on the Surrey Hants border.

Heavy snow - Thanet, East Kent :-(

Heavy snow near Colchester :-(

hmmm ..............just starting again - fine powdery stuff

Tut tut Lilibids! :-D

Apparently Wrotham Rd hasn't been gritted yet, which was a surprise to hear. They salt/sort out the roads, but pedestrians have to fend for themselves

Light snow in Herefordshire at the moment.

Most lovely thing about the snow was the reaction of my 92 year old MiL. She lives by herself, but thought it was wonderful and enthused greatly! It is the most excited we have seen her for ages. :-)

Det, thank goodness daughter has two days of tomorrow andTuesday
Went to the shops just a minute ago and managed to slip over,will be in trouble when she finds out

We've had lots of deep snow for over a week now :-|...but got a good laugh yesterday when I saw on the local green that some 'wag' had built a snow-woman......complete with big boobies :-D
