Not so bad here in N.E.Fife. Biggest problem is abandoned cars everywhere by people that dont know how to drive.
Took our sprinter out today and it went everywhere without drama.
Got boys heading down to Eyemouth tomorrow. Hopefully they will make it.

I think you can only moan about the snow if you live south of Watford. If you live up north what do you expect? ::) ;D
-

Its just cold in Bournemouth , totally dry roads , bit of frost on cars , not that it is any worry of mine being banned :-[
-
Just frosty here in sunny stockport ;D looks like its going to stay for a while too.

We had to have today off due to the snow on the coast, however we are in fife tomorrow,so hopefully we will get there and get this job started, whats more worrying is we are now fully booked until the 21st December,including sat/sun. I wish the rain would just come on and wash this crap away.

Heavy snow falls in Leeds last couple of days,re-arranged tomorrows work for next week.Not too bad when you get on the main roads,its the small roads that are the problem.Not worth the risk,customers happy I rang and changed dates.

Suprisingly not too bad here in Cumbria, about 4"
Had to travel 20 mile tonight in a blizzard, wife said i must be nuts,
Took my Hilux and it flew through it, even past the foot of Blencathra.
Well Clarkson did take one to the north pole :)

It's pretty bad down here in Cornwall. I'm hoping to get yesterday's job done today, most schools are closed.
I just need to get off our estate, it's like an ice rink at the moment...

A ROYAL PAIN IN THE T1TS!!!
Also based in Edinburgh and i have not seen it this bad before! Even last year when the snow was on for some of November, all of December and most of January I never needed a spade! Evertime i get bloody parked i get stuck!!
No chance of rebooking anything as theres no space to put jobs in! grrrrr
BRING ON THE FFFFF'IN SUMMER!!!
-
How ironic , it snowed for maybe an hour todaay for the first time , all roads clear , just quite cold . Cant drive , been sat in printing letters and stuffing envelopes all week .
-
In Sunny Chesterfield. Been out a couple of times today, wife rescheduled some of the appoinments, not worth the risk now, had a foot of snow in 2 hours, main roads not happening now, still coming down heavy
-
Same here in Mallorca. Cleaned the pool and filled it up. now its started raining! could have saved 200 pesetas. bugger.
-
David - Has it stopped raining yet cos it aint stopped bl****dy snowing here yet - cant open the back door now even though its been cleared at least 3 times today and theres a step up to it

Hi
A slight dusting down here in Paradise (Brighton 8))
Looks like north sussex has had it quite bad, loads of trains out of Victoria cancelled and some flights out of Gatwick closed, they closed runway. Some schools closed (bunch of wimps, when i was a lad we just got on with it)
Bit chilly with the wind chill, if I go out on my bike it feels like my eyes balls have frozen over!
daughter has got the screaming ab dabs because it isn't snowing much and the schools open.

West Lothian is a no go area. I have 18 inches of snow in my street.
-
I'll stop moaning about the ice then :-X
Fortunately, I don't even have to move the van for this morning's job, I'm cleaning next doors carpets!!!!
When we had really bad snow the other day I actually went round the neighbour's asking if they wanted a bargain basement carpet clean.... I got a job out of it too and it was a proper minger, but it came up like new....
I've booked her in for an oven clean before Christmas too!!! ;D
-
About 4" in Hyde cheshire its still coming down.
Got a message from daughters school closed no staff.
I must say at the moment, this is nothing to last year stuck in for 2 days.

I'm the exact opposite. Within 2 days of blizzards, we were worse than last year.
-
Snowed in the village again - didn't work yesterday or today and can't see me working tomorrow either.
Boiler's packed up and Tesco can't deliver - so no hot water or heating or food, isn't snow great !!
-
We've got 2 feet of snow.
-
Get some fat lazy arses working for you. What they'll do is jump on any opportunity not to work, snow is always a good opportunity to pull in the excuses.
A viable business is a business that has staff drinking on full pay throughout the day whilst claiming they are stuck in snow. The business takes nothing, and they take the ******* lot. Including the ****.

Its bad up here on top of the Pennines, must have had 3" today alone, no chance of getting out, gritters out but as fast as its cleared the roads are white over again.
Mark
-
sympathise will all the badly hit areas as this is how we fared 3 times last winter.... had some snow yesterday about an inch, so not too bad, but estate roads are like skating rinks. Just waiting for the "heavens" to open as all those snow clouds are fast approaching, so will probably be in same boat as most of you later on! :'(

Managed to get a stone floor cleaned yesterday and managed to get back there today to seal it, bit of a nightmare getting there down the lanes. Dont wont anymore as i have four stone floors to clean on friday in a £10million mansion thats just been built near me as they need to hand over to the client next week. :-[

Pretty bad here in the N.E
After last years fiasco in the Peugot Partner getting stuck, decided to treat myself to a Navara 4x4 ;)
Took this yesterday down a single track road / farmhouse in the middle of nowhere !
No problem !
-
Must be Global warming.
-
Oh feck here we go again.
Probably about half inch in the last hour (which for those of us in the south is enough to bring the economic well being of the area to a grinding halt). Unless there's going to be some magical thaw during the early hours, tomorrow will be a write off >:(

As I live right on the coast, Donegal, North West Ireland we never really get it too bad. There is a good inch of snow on the ground at the moment and it is freezing . I have been able to get around ok although the side roads are not gritted.
I went out tonight for a walk and I could have walked for miles.It was so peaceful and quiet with hardly any traffic on the road. We had a light snow shower earlier in the night and it was nice walking through the soft snow.
