6 inches of snow no gritters and its going to get worse.
Roads are a nightmare here in North London

Supposed to go to Heathrow area but no chance
There are no buses running in London at all
railways disrupted looks like its going to grind to a halt schools have been closed
Whats it like where you are
Were doomed :'(

20cm here in Guildford, no work today either, gonna have some fun in the snow.
I was already a bit behind, I might be 2 weeks behind at the end of this. :(

i do not mind not working but kids getting fed up with beans on toast. ;D ;D

It doesn't look too bad here in Chepstow, South East Wales; it's cold and there's a few light snow flakes blowing around.
Shame really, 'cos I wanted loads of snow; I know a great hill closeby for sledging on.
Our first job this morning is an inside only (OCS do the outside >:(), so we'll see how we get on with stuff freezing on us after that.
-
There was never any forecast of snow for us until this evening anyway Tosh.
-
Shame; it's been years and years since I've seen real snow; and I've never really seen it in Chepstow; nothing much really!
-
About 2 inches here, but its COLD! Wind is piercing, might go have some fun!
-
About 2 inches here in West midlands and snowing heavy right now. Sky is like a blanket a white one.
-
Light dusting here in Wilts would go out and clean but it's still -2 at the moment. :(
-
schools closed here 25 of them... two motorways down to one lane...bout 6/7 inches of snow..... good old britain.
-
South London is Shut for the day
-
2 or 3 inches here and growing by the minute, my thought is if I send a van to peterborough today will it get suck there :-\
Will be able to take some great pics though.

Couple of inches here but its like a blizzard now
Tried to go to work this morning but turned back as its work in the middle of nowhere and dont want to be stuck there
-
Light dusting here and there in NW Bristol and lightly falling too.
-
Not snowing in Portsmouth at the moment. About 2 inches here, but some roads not gritted, so like an ice rink now. My brother has already had someone slide into the back of his van this morning. ::)
Drove about 1/4 mile and gave up cos I thought I would probably end up in a shunt too. :o
-
We now have horizontal snow :o
-
just looked at metacheck next 2wks dont look good, theres a -7 in there for me , N/W
-
Even though there was no frost, my system was still frozen solid, so off to do the shops now, and not expecting to do much else.
Mega skint after the taxbill too... :(
-
Are you assuming were Southern softies again Stan?
The roads are a joke, its still snowing heavily so I aint going out, instead im gonna buy myself some ferrets and pigeons, to instill some Northern grit into me. ;D
-
I'm not working as the roads look like a deathtrap and it keeps snowing on and off. I have a bit of inside work to do but I don't even want to do a five mile round trip for an hour's work.
Plenty of housework to do anyway. Just had some 0% credit card cheques drop through the post so I'll do a late settlement with them for the taxman. Not good budgetting but at 0% for 6 months, I can live with that. Should be able to pay it within the 6 months as weather improves.
-
Hmm, could do without this weather - just paid my pl insurance, my tax and now the van insurance reminder has landed on the mat, i wonder what's next. :-\
-
No, won't be that i've never had one. ;D
-
Trying to stay off the road in case I meet Mrs Patel in her automatic Mercedes with power steering coming the other way. She's never seen snow before.

up to my knees in it here!

We have a lot of snow here started yesterday dinnertime and has not stopped since.
No bus's or trains running.
We had not electricity last night due to a electric sub station about 1/2 a mile from my house exploding and by christ it was loud with a huge flash. I thought it was a bomb or something going off.
I may have lost a customer there as it at the side of there house.
The gritters have done the main roads near us but we don't live on a main road and as we live at the bottom of a hill no one can get out.
Still the dogs have enjoyed themselves in the snow.
-
Its been snowing all day long here, to some degree, now the temperature's dropping
dont think i'll be working tomorrow
-
Mega skint after the taxbill too... :(
Squeaky there was a report in the paper last Saturday that the tax man had made a c**kup and demanded the tax that wasn't due till July. Because it would cause mega disruption they aren't going to tell people about it, just hope they pay up without noticing.
Make sure you're not one of them - they won't tell you or give it back without you ask for it.

Did a little commercial job first thing then home for a snowball fight with the kids!
-
