Work are taking things one day at a time - though they have just put up the schedules for Thursday/Friday after holding them a day (would normally have been in with Tues/Wed updates).
If the predictions are right though can't see Thursday/Friday going ahead as part of the work is right in the thick of it.

Already done my drive. Not struggling tomorrow for no reason

Sad local news here, a man in his 60’s has died after going into the Danson Park lake to rescue his dog. He was pulled from the lake alive and airlifted to hospital, but died a short while later

Just read that, did he get trapped under ice? Or maybe cardiac arrest when he hit the freezing water.

Doesn't say yet. His death is being treated as unexplained. Danson Park lake isn't really deep enough to get trapped under ice in. You can hypothermia ridiculously quickly in these conditions.
had a post modded one time for saying something about **********I see what you did there
seems ocuk has atleast one
Don't this make it worse? I used to clear my paths but found it makes it more slippery.
Suffolk coast has been fun last couple of days; most snow I have seen here as an adult.. pretty sure in the late 70's / early 80's we had more but got around 18-20cm this evening generally; deeper in the drifts where the sun didn't get to it this afternoon.
Forecasting has been disappointing; both Met & BBC have been consistently wrong with when it will snow and way out on the temperatures.. last two nights we have dropped to -8c and already at -7c tonight so going to be another very cold one.

I am from near there I use netweather.tv forecasting has been spot on, the radar Api is excellent.
Yeah been using the rain radar on that quite a lot of figure out what the next few hours look like; hadn't checked the forecasting out
Showing for me almost constant, though light, snow from a bit later on today through until it goes above 0C Saturday morning - which is slightly at odds with other forecasts which are patchier and so far no signs of snow showers today.
Thanks, much more informative than the Met Office and BBC
They update quite regularly so worth checking back and click on the for example 1800-2100 it breaks down to hourly as wellNetweather.tv shows consistent heavy snowfall from 9pm till 6am for my area at 95%. Then a break till 3pm then same again right through till Saturdaycan’t see it being that consistent but time will tell.
Had a good 4" where I am in Huddersfield, other side of town up on the hills have had a good 6"+
Some shenanigans out on the street where a couple of vans and a car all got stuck and spent about an hour trying to get some traction before finally escaping

I stocked up on essentials last weekend, we have known this was coming for ages, I love seeing all the people caught out, don't they pay attention to the world around themselves?
Walked to the supermarket for beer earlier, and to enjoy the weather, was great!
