Snowing quite well here at the moment. It isn't quite level with the kerbs on the road unfortunately, but predicted to run for a few more hours yet. I've just had two weeks off work and tomorrow should be the first day back, so quite honestly I'm quietly hoping it snows enough that I can call tomorrow a snow day, but we'll see how it continues. Luckily the office manager is very lenient when it comes to snow days so no pressure to try and struggle 25 miles in to work should the snow get much worse before tomorrow.
The local Facebook travel page shows loads of photos from people who have walked out to the A roads around the area to find they are completely white as well, so I'll be staying put today anyway.

Having not gone further outdoors than the garage, just before sunset, I've no idea what the conditions are like on main roads. Felt a bit slippy under foot on the partially thawed pavement, while the road was completely thawed.
But now the pavements and road are white again... Going to be fun deciding whether to cycle in on studded tyres tomorrow morning, or get the bus! Would rather not do the latter, as it looks like things could be back to normal in the afternoon, plus the bus is normally full of school kids and incredibly slow.
Its forecast to warm up enough to thaw once the day gets going though those commuting early might find conditions less than ideal.
I got called into work early tonight due to the weather - which was a good thing as by my normal start time it had started snowing heavily where work was and already an inch on the ground in half an hour so we closed up.
Each one looks like being progressively less severe until it fades out or the pattern switches like a um switch.
Probably best not to trust Facebook articles as a reliable source of information
Forecast for a fairly nice weekend up here!

Winter over? Have had enough of all this snow now.
Its trying again - that was a -10 run a day ago now -12 - pretty much how the last 2 manifest.
As someone said on another forum "I think we broke the climate".
EDIT: If this had been 30 years ago we'd have probably had a good month of extreme weather with more snow days than less and few days it went above freezing.

I'd be more worried if we had a static climate that never changed than one that is dynamic and constantly changing
BBC saying snow for 31st early morning 
I know that it a while away but the predictions have been pretty good apart from times this year so I suspect this is coming again unfortunately.
Also the ground being so wet nothing settled this time hopefully the same again.
