We'll get a tiny spattering, probably something similar to just before Christmas and not up to the epic dump last Feb

Frosty the Snowman, we've got numerous threads about Scotland, Liverpool, Wales, Lake District etc. What's wrong with us in the south wanting be ready? After all the Met Office has issued an Extreme Weather Warning affecting the south east, whereas it's at a lower level for the rest of the country.

My mate has made it from Home in Watford to the office in Stockport for 7am. He was then locked in as the building was closed! Funny to me anyhow. Smatterings of snow all the way to Watford where he has just arrived home having being released early for good behaviour, - 11 hours well spent I say.. Tons in Liverpool. more than for the last 20 years certainly, but not enough to put my snowchains on for a bit of practice.

Snowed in at home near York today. 6 inches of fresh powder in the garden this morning. At one point, Mrs Snowplough, 8 kids and two other parents were sledging on the slope down our garden. I'm stuck at my desk, cursing broadband that makes a full working day at home possible!
Good luck to anyone braving the snow. I know you southerners are soft to the core, but even so I felt for one of my colleagues who took 7 hours to get home 15 miles one day last week. This included abandoning his car and walking for the final 3 miles!

The Flying Snowplough, hour lunchbreak! That's what worked for me last Feb when I went skiing. Unfortunately I lost track of time ended up having to host a conference call with some senior managers from my Blackberry while walking back through town with skis over my shoulder. It was going well until I bumped into a bunch of kids who started following me shouting "Oi Mister, let me have a go on your skis" then started pelting me with snowballs.

Problem is going to be getting there. Does Mrs Haddock have a helicopter ?
I have a small hill in Baunton just North of Cirencester that I can walk to ....... lets see what it is like.

6-8 inches here (Sherwood Forest, Notts). Leaving work in half hour or so, I think most of the main roads have been cleared as traffic seems to be flowing. Still snowing lightly and hasn't really stopped all day.

Nothing on the North of the M25 yet, but traffic starting to build up a bit due to rush hour. All it will take is a couple of flakes of snow and we'll be heading for gridlock.
Left work early following Xmas week 4.5hr trek.
Anybody know any good places to ski near Hemel? If we get 25cm tonight it's got to be a goer for some urban touring.

PBJ, that might explain the overdraft! Not sure I fancy hucking off anything higher than a bunker lip into 3 inches of snow, although more is forecast for later tonight.

I'm in the middle! lol! Still snowing lightly here. The heavy snow was for 2-3 hours this morning, and it has been mostly snowing lightly all day since then.

Same here, in the middle (well actually one of the many places that claims to be dead centre is about 15 miles south of here so guess that makes it north!
