Doubt it, unless you pour hot water on it to clear the snow!
Damn I have furniture and a TV due to be delivered, I doubt that will happen this week now, oh well.
My cat Millie is not really happy with all this snow as she likes to do whatever it is cats do at night but not in this weather and I keep getting that look that only a cat can give that it must be my fault.

Judging from what I see coming home from work in the early hours it mostly seems to be stalking imaginary prey and occasionally fighting each other or picking a fight with a fox/badger just for the **** of it.
They have just cancelled all bus services in Edinburgh which is strange as we have, in the past, had far more snow lying with a pretty much full service. Perhaps it is the wrong sort of snow this time around?
Chuck out some bread etc for the birds if you have loads of snow coverage and how about checking on any elderly neighbours to see if all is,well and perhaps seeing if they need anything from your local shops.

Yep, can concur, white in West End Southampton but the main dump isnt due till around midday. Then looks like a good 12 hours of snow.

Went to work yesterday, took an hour to get there (normally 15 minutes) then we decided to close 2.5 hours in. Looking out the window now. nothing is moving, still snowing. Loving it. Very rare we get a good amount of snow, so nice to have some for a few days.
Children love it.

My son's special school has closed for two days rather than risk transport issues for the children and some live in different counties.
My daughter's secondary school have decided to open today but update at lunchtime, with a notice to parents one hour before any closure. They asked that parents have plans in place should the need arise. That won't go well on past experience of short notice (weeks or so) closure.

Bit early for me. My main dump is just after lunch at about 2pm.
Should be getting a bit of snow then too.

The end of the world is near, white stuff has stuck to the roads in Bitterne overnight! 
-5C out there before wind chill, so lucky that I'm now on annual leave until Monday 12th and so glad we didn't risk an early visit to Center Parcs.
