last night (south staffs) minus 12 round here. Approx 6 inches of snow but some places it looks a bit deeper.
Bitterly cold, hasn't got anywhere near above freezing all day 
I know all about that.

Me and my daughter had tickets for the Snowdome at Tamworth yesterday, and had to give up and turn around before the M42. Everything came to a halt in the blizzard, and the a-roads were near impossible.
One disappointed little girl, and 4 stressful hours to get home.
