BriT · 10 Dec 2017 at 12:26

Very deep here in Gloucestershire and still snowing. Had no power since 9am either lol.

Wintry weather is the main news story on BBC.

Is snow in December really news ?

Rather snow than Brexit again tbh.

Large amounts of snow likely to cause disruptions to transport, power and services is most definitely news worthy.

Certainly more news than gossip mag style celebrity stories or the same 'what if' brexit scenarios republished for the 3rd time. Would you prefer a story about a panda being born?

I like snow but these cold fronts can be particularly nasty. Seeing the statistics on how many people are thought to die as a result of the cold due to being older/homeless is absolutely tragic.

Most Of Mid Wales is just shut down ...most roads closed, 12" of snow in places and it's still coming down!

You wonder why power outages in something as simple as snow still exist. It baffles me

Glad i live near coast it keeps it a slight bit warmer and snow doesn't always hit us as hard

Need proper heavy snow photo.

The pavement and road is all blend into one.

slick rick · 10 Dec 2017 at 14:35

power came back on about an hour ago thank goodness. Here is a snap from this moring.

Nice downfall of snow in Walsall (West Midlands)

MissChief · 10 Dec 2017 at 14:56

Free heat is a byproduct

Not enough snow here in Liverpool yet to stop me BBQing today, although it is settling a little bit now.

Rroff · 10 Dec 2017 at 15:15

Many of my friends/family on Facebook posting pictures of 2-5 inches of snow - just drizzly rain here

We just had a tractor come to clear our cul-de-sac road - it's on a step hill and 4 roads in from the main road, so we are stuck going no where otherwise.

It'll probably all be gone by tomorrow anyhow :s
