Who's getting the white stuff today?
We woke up to quite a covering. Some of this has melted now but it keeps coming from the east on and off.
Fortunately I live walking distance from work but, once I get home at the end of my shift, it's a night in for me.

Not a jot.
I assume that when 2 snowflakes land in London, the radio will be full of it though - as all those soft Southerners fail to cope  |

A few flakes this morning in Cheshire, nice and bright for a change but a biting wind.

Nothing yet here. Cold and grey all day, not much of a breeze, though.

It's been snowing/sleeting here all day. It isn't lying too much here - but I gather it's worse inland. Hailstones keep hitting off the windows as it's really windy as well.

I heard that the A1 was closed near Gosforth Park at one point RB. We used to live very near to that.

I still do, and the A1 was shut there at around 1130 this morning. Trucks were getting stuck along the A69 at Hexham around the same time. Going by the blizzards this morning, I'm not particularly surprised - it was even lying a little in town.
If the same had happened on the M25, Gordon Brown would have probably called a State of Emergency or some-such.

Oh definitely! The army would have been put on alert at least.
It just has to rain down here and everything snarls up.
I can remember driving from Brunswick Green to the airport at 5.30 in the morning with snow almost as high as my mini! If I was lucky I'd be in time for the snow plough to come on to the Dinnington road ahead of me, just past the stables to clear, the road ahead!

| Didn't you know that anything that happens outside London isn't worth worrying about cherskiy. |
