Set out for work about 5-30 am today drove about 2 miles had to return home
6 inches of snow no gritters and its going to get worse.

Roads are a nightmare here in North London
its still snowing heavily and a lot more forecast
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  :'(

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.

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!

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
