One inch all over in Ludlow town, Shropshire. On the roads too, and the sky looks positively pregnant and ready to drop.

It can do what it likes, we're ready, as we have 8pints of milk, 1 seeded batch loaf and 21 white cobs.
Who needs snow shovels and de-icer with that lot?

What a ****ing disappointment, hardly any snow at home and even less at work, hope those muppets that went panic buying yesterday are happy! Why do we trust weather reports when they say snow then dismiss them for the rest of the year????

Help me stw. Later today I am supposed to be taking my kids from Guildford to reading to my folks house, then tomorrow the wife and I are going to a very nice hotel near Coventry for her company's annual get together, where a nice meal, few drinks and maybe some after hours no-holds barred no kids to wake activity.

I know there will be snow on the roads. The question is - is this an 'essential' journey, given we've been looking forward to it all year?

Well the gritters have done an excellent job this year of clearing the roads. All roads apart from my own minor road were very clear this morning and grippy.
The worst problem I had was visibility. My visor kept collecting snow, so was constantly wiping it, plus kept misting up which didnt help 😮

Worthing - No Snow

Angmering a couple of miles to the west has three flakes, a cut down emergency train timetable and the 7:07 was still 12 minutes late. Another three flakes and we are doomed.

Not deep yet but if it keeps on like this I'll be completely snowed in by next Thursday. 😉

Proper snowing in Chester. Windy too.
Two of the kids are supposed to be singing in a concert in Manchester tonight..... don't think so now. I feel bad for the organisers.

That ^^^ doesn't look too deep. Are the roads clear?

so far there's only about 5mm on the higher bits of North Manchester. The roads were all clear on the bike commute this morning.

News Reporters will probably be stood outside Media City announcing the end of the world on the lunchtime news though.

It might get worse later, but if it stays as it is your kids may be able to attend their concert.

Plenty here in Malvern - the roof of my car is now covered up to the top of the roof rails - and still coming down hard. Should be enough to ski shortly I reckon.

Its actually doing quite well in the New Forest - well enough to get ma a WFH day! Needless to say this will almost certainly involve a quick pedal a bit later 🙂

Brecon Beacons look pretty average, about 6". Wind is more of an issue, pushed through the drifts in the Land Rovers to our yard below Storey Arms, but come home before they get too big to push through. Drifts were about 3-4 foot on our lane.

Oh bum. Wife's work have just called to say the conference is postponed until next weekend and I'm due to be away.

Wife is very disappointed, she was convinced she was going to get at least 6" on Sat night.

"looks out of window"
"checks trains on webby"
"gets another cup of tea"

It is snowing here in snowy Surrey (Kingswood/Tattenham Cnr area) but it's light fluffy and only just about sticking.

"looks around office again to see people packing up"

So far we have going on 4, took the dog out on his invisible bike.

IT BEGINS! I hereby declare Edinburgh shut, I can see at least 2 snowflakes out the window.

Had an excellent conversation with my mum... "So, I'll be driving through to Glasgow on friday night when the snow's on, but it'll be fine I'm sure" "Yeah it'll be fine", she says. "Oh and I'm taking little brother too", I says. "Oh no, don't go driving in the snow!" she says.

Either little brother is more valued than I am, or she's comfortable with losing 1/3d of a generation at a stroke but not 2/3ds. Either way it's a bit of a blow.
