Although it wasn't forecast for this region - we have woken up this morning to a covering of snow and - looking at the sky - we are in for some more.

I hate the stuff. 623 seems keen enough to have some - so I am willing God to move the bloody stuff from north Cambridgeshire to the east coast of Scotland. OK 623?

No - send it to the south coast please!  We did have a few flakes last night but nothing settled.  I LOVE it!

That's not fair, you're only down the road!  How come it's missed me out?  Hope we get some tonight.

Having seen LouLou's photo of all the snow up North I'm quite jealous, even though I wouldn't last 5 minutes in the cold up there :)
(and I'm only jealous while it's the weekend, getting through snow for work is a pain).

Yes, that photo was seriously scary - I don't think I've seen snow like that, ever!

I can't ever remember seeing snow in November. Additionally - I don't remember the temerature falling so low in November. If this is a taste of things to come this winter I'm going to come back as a hampster!

Snow in Northern Ireland as well. Snow is nice but icy slippery footpaths = bad dont seem to have grit boxes over here.

A sprinking of snow here this morning and more to come I think. I'm not looking forward to vernturing out onto those footpaths this morning for my walk to work. Still - as a non-driver - at least I don't have to scrape ice off the car.

Yay!!! At last we have snow!  First in 17 years apparently (apart from the very light dusting last year).  I do feel sorry for people trying to travel in it though.

No snow here.  I don't want it to snow until I change jobs.  If you were a clinic coordinator, you'd know what I mean!

I had snow every day since saturday, and well I people are just thick!

Stupid people who are just abandoning ethers cars on the main road, thanks to them the  GRITTERS and buses can not get down many roads, If you can dig you way you can dig you way in, I have seen plenty of people making efforts to make parking spaces. I hate it!

When I was going to school back in the 70's and early 80's it snowed just like this.  Do you think I could stay home?  Were the schools shut?  No!

No snow here yet - but solid ice everywhere and it looks like snow. It is -7 at the moment (just after 6pm) and snow is forecast for tonight. It's my last day at work tomorrow - then I pack up until 4 January.
