Quite a few people skiing and jumping a kicker in Headingley, Leeds today. A foot of the white snow and there is even enough to ski on the side roads without wrecking your bases.

I had a lovely walk in the snow today. It really got me excited about the forthcoming ski season (if I was ridiculously excited already!). However, somehow or other I'm going to have to get into work tomorrow, I have no more spare annual leave left. It's all booked for my ski holidays.

There is a good Met Office snowmap here for tweeps in the UK.
Click on the snowflakes for current and past snowdepths in your zipcode.
On Weds 1st Dec:
Southeast England had 45cm;
Aberdeen had 45cm;
Southwest England had 80cm;
Southeast Scotland had 100cm.

Great site, thanks.
Barely enough white stuff for a snowball on Wirral, most frustrating

I would drive. You up for it depending on weather and snow conditions?

About 2 inches here on the coast. Enough to close my school as there is more snow in Colchester the teachers cant get here (supposedly  ). I'll put up a photo later, it's still snowing heavily.

i love the motion blur effect on the snowflakes - makes them look like mini comets roaring towards you......

| Karl Wooffindin, have you been around long enough to remember when they used to have the ski tow out near ringinglow? Shame it isn't there any more. |
Unfortunately i wasn't! It would have been ideal, walking uphill in ski boots is horrible!

I have just measured the snow depth on the wheely bin and it is at least 27 cm (11 inches). Deeper in the garden where it has drifted slightly.
We are in Surrey and the children's school will be closed for the 3rd day tomorrow.

I have had mine fixed although they are not 100% but i will take they to try them out. Could you take your spare ones incase they pack up as there are no hire shops? Dont want to go all the way there and then watch everyone else skiing!!! I would come and pick you up if you wanted? Could you get yourself to Huddersfield then its a little easier for me?

looks amazing over there, well here is a link to the yad moss webcam, http://www.yadmoss.co.uk/snow-and-weather-report i would say that its at least 2 foot deep, you would not scratch your skis, plus its grass underneath there are no rocks at all, i go walking there in the summer. Huddersfield to Yad Moss is 2 hrs 30. Would be good if you could meet me at huddersfield somehow. The guy who serviced them said he isnt 100% sure if they will last, something to do with the bindings, something wont click in all the way??? Like i said, its a long way to go if they dont work!!!

By 9am this morning most of Hampshire had over 15cm. I measured 22cm in our back garden. In Southampton.

Had a great afternoon on Boxhill this afternoon. Drove to Rykas car park and then walked up, managed 4 runs before being too knackered to continue. Snow should stay for a couple more days, worth a trip if you're nearby.
If I can work out how to will post some pics later.
