We're still watching it fall up ere,.. every couple of hours it dumps another load on us! Yesterday am there was just over 7" on the roof of me car, and another inch on that at our site near Helmsley,... (where the farmyard do is). In the same place, at half 4 this aft it was -5, loverly when workin in it!!

Waiting for the AA to come.
I went out to go to work at 7 o'clock, started the car and cleared the (6") snow off it. Yep,.... the doors locked ! So the engine's been running for an hour so far, i'm late for work, and the AA say it will be 9-30 at the earliest.
All credit to the AA though, i'm only a member through my bank account so only qualify for breakdown over 1/4 mile from home, but since the engine's running they are giving me a complimentary homestart cover. Geddin there!
(no, i haven't got a spare key, i didn't have the £130 for one when i asked)
We've got a load here, so much that the school I work at has closed..good one, day off :-) Had bike serviced today and the nice guys at the garage came round in the van to pick it up as they didn't want me to ride in the snow. Bless em lol
About an inch, if that, has fell since I got home at 5, not a great deal before that either, this happened last year, I think there's a giant invisible shield over my house.
Cos if I move a mile from mine there a fair bit, but still not that much, the roads are wet, although from the sad useless gits that are driving you would think there was 10 inches of snow on the road!!!
Well after seeing it snow everywhere else ...it finally landed here this morning.
In Laindon nr Basildon we have 5-6 inches and it is still coming down. A 7 minute drive this morning took 40 mins..... God knows how long it will take tommoz
On a bright note got sent home early ....paid as well cos of snow.
10 inches of snow, and more due. -9 last night, supposed to be colder tonight, then snow for the morning. School closed for 3 days so far. Just the usual winter weather!

You'd think this country would cope a bit better by now, it's not exactly a new thing this snow stuff, is it?
When the scandinavians see the disruption it causes they p*ss themselves laughing at us.
What snow???
We had about 1/2" earlier today that tried to settle, but went this afternoon.
But Jesuz it's bloody cold here with the wind minus 2 at min.
Roads are really icey and fun to play on.
M25 blocked in both directions round Gatwick area due to ice RTA's.
Nothing had landed here till yesterday ... Then we woke up to an overnight dump of about 3 inches ... I still had snow on the car roof where I couldn't reach it to clear it off when I got to work , that was after spending an hour on the motorway lol
Not looked out the window yet this morning but it was snowing heavily when we came to bed last night :-(
Over 6 inches here and still snowing over 300 schools closed buses not running roads closed or littered with accidents !!!!!
Oh well another cup of tea under my quilt then
we have over 15" of snow here :)
Its causing major mayhem...
Boss in his new mercedes cannot get off his drive to get to work... me and my wee clio made it ......
