Hours of snow tonight according to the local news. I won't mind if they're completely wrong.

The kids school is closed but they announced it quite late. Too late for one mom it seems as I saw her walking down the road to school with her pushchair and 3 kids.

I would have said something out the window but this is the same mom who has let her dog shit in the street so you know.. I left her.

No snow for me (Berkshire) car has a little ice on it this morning.

Current forcast is heavy rain at the weekend, but that could be snow.

Hope we get a bit of snow as I don't think we have had any since my son was born.

Hardly any in Saltaire, more up the hill in Bradford, less in Batley.

Expecting metric fucktonnes on Sunday.

Not exactly the hours of snow forecast, but it seems like there's more to come.

Oh, you should have, not for her but for her kids. It’s not their fault and it’s bitter cold, and if it puts her in a foul mood and she’s not a nice person they’ll likely bear the brunt :(

Maybe she’ll step in her own dog’s snow-covered poo this morning and see the error of her ways.

Probably depends whereabouts you're going. Some parts are worse than others - and it depends on how close to a main road you're going to be. Side streets, estates etc all really bad in our neck of the woods.

Well, I will be arriving at the station and getting a cab to Newport. All will probably be fine.

A bit of snow here overnight, which made making two trips to the post office with a dozen or so parcels particularly challenging. Thankfully for the bad bits, my YakTrax over my shoes keep me upright. From there it was just a case of finding somewhere convenient to take them off and put them back on again.

Snowed a bit om Thursday night in Manchester and then froze quite hard, so wipers were stuck to the screen and took a while to Clear. Brightened up, mid-morning and then I had to drive to Ellesmere Port in the afternoon. It rained more and more the further I got out of Manchester, and snowed quite heavily as I approached Cheshire Oaks. By the time I was heading back at 5pm, most of the snow had gone, but it was still raining and sleeting until I got to Altrincham, where it was dry, with no sign of it having rained at all.

Went out to get my ears lowered at 7.15 today and there was a light frost on the Fusion, and it’s snowed a couple of time during the day, but none has stuck.

No real change here. We bought tickets to some Winter Wonderland thing over by Sherbern in Elmet. To get there would be driving through Bradford, then motorways. Only the last bit could be tricky. I'm tempted to just write the cost off, rather than write the ScooRhubarb off. I've got a concern over it.

There's bloody snow in Southwark. Still, it'll add to the magic of the Christmas markets, I suppose...

I'd be more thrilled if I hadn't already played the game of 'will I get to the Christmas party in time' on Friday when it bloody snowed back home. I hate snow.

Loads of snow here and it's still coming. I was supposed to be going to Manchester this evening to see Hanson but I reckon I'm going to have to give it a miss. Annoying.
