It's snowing

Snowing again today! This is almost unheard of here, havn't seen anything like it since I was a kid. Perhaps work will finally see sense and stay closed tomorrow. Bring it on!

You need snow ploughs, not gritters.

Anyway don't tarnish every council, west Berks has done a great job around here and major routes are completely clear.

Thats the only thing I would ever give west berks council credit for. Other than that, they are a bunch of nobbers.

Just got back from the Falkland Islands, on the way back into RAF Brize Norton i thought we were still in the clouds, final approach and i thought there was just loads of low-lying cloud, turns out it was just untouched fields of snow!

Welcome to the forums.

Snowing very lightly again here. Just cleared the driveway of the last lot of snow/ice. Still got the rest of the road to do yet though, at least there are other people who have started on the road a bit further down the hill.

Really need to get some fuel for the car, and I wanted to go out for a random drive and take some photos, but I don't want to leave the car on the main road if I can't get back up the hill.

It's very light at the moment but I bet we'll have a blizzard by half-time.

Wahhh seeing the pictures of the snow depresses me. Normally its aberdeenshire that has the deep stuff, big drifts.. We have a cm if that... Come on snow lets have ya!

Really coming down in sussex, need to venture to the supermarket later as well. We'll see how that turns out.

Wanted to pop to the supermarket today and stock up on food, but the snow is slowly building up again in Farnborough. Don't fancy getting stuck in my RWD car :/

Steady fall here, not too heavy but on top of the frozen stuff from Friday it will be fun going to work tomorrow.

Snowing non stop here in Crowborough since the early hours and just seems to be getting heavier :3

We were expected heavy showers last night in Newcastle, had pretty much nothing. Hoping it comes down real heavy today some time !
