Jealous of all of you!
 
We've had what looks like a few centimetres in the last two hours. Hertford in Herts.
Feeling very bad that I turned my pony out in her muzzle

But pleased that I didn't choose to turn my horse who is on box rest out for his first night for five weeks.
I hope this is it for us now and it warms up and rains before morning.
 
We have snow here in Windsor berkshire its laying aswell have about 2cm atm....but is picking up and becoming blizzard like as we speak...

Two malamutes that are supposed to be bred for this weather....arent sure of it...LOL 1st time they've seen snow bless them
 
Update from Mid-Kent. We now have over an inch, and rising fast. It is blizarding the really fine stuff that gets in your eyes. In the 10 mins we walked the dog (he was the one who wanted to come home!) the snow had completely covered our tracks on the drive. Don't think I will be going to work in the morning!

OMG just come in from playing in it...like a big kid that I am...found some cardboard and bin bags...makes an awsome sledge...LOL

sooooo much fun even the malamutes enjoyed themselves in it
 
Not so much as a flake . . . . . yet. . . . . . but the forecast that is sent to my pooter every day says 90% chance of snow overnight tonight and tomorrow and 95% chance on Saturday with the temperature "rising" to -2 . . . . .

reminds me of the winter of 1962/63 - started snowing on Boxing Day and didn't thaw until Easter . . . . . happy memories, I'd forgotten what grass looked like

I'm west of Southampton on the eastern edge of the New Forest
 
Just come home from a night at the pub - nothing at 7.30pm when I went in, Settling well and still coming down at 11.45 when I left!!!!!! WOOOHOOO!!! I LOVE SNOW!!!!!! Hope it settles proper I have tomorrow off so will take the dog up on the downs - snow is very special to me in boring old west sussex, where we normally get horrid horrid rain!!!
 
We've got it
frown.gif
Far too much, at least 6 inches from the looks of it but it is far too cold for me to go exploring outside to get a proper figure

Not impressed, the roads were crap yesterday coming home (held up by police twice so that they could 'extract' cars back onto the road
crazy.gif
Really need to go to work, have a tender meeting to prep. for, but most importantly it's Secret Santa <u>and</u> a coffee morning

We're about 6/7 miles inland from the Suffolk coast.
 
Well even if I wanted to try to get to work, it's not going to happen.

The A14 is 'hell' according to the radio man, it's just one way over the Orwell bridge because the ice is so bad we have lorries stuck on the top of it, currently trying to be extracted with tractors. The queue goes back about 10 miles and has been there for 11 hours, so lots of very cold people and abandoned cars.

There's also a jack-knifed lorry blocking my main route into the office, and two fallen trees blocking the only other route.

Meep!
 
Tonnes here.....at least 6 inches dumped....

Just been to do the neds, in my trusty old battered rav-4! Lots of silly people about in very unpractical cars that have got themselves stuck.....even with the main roads gritted last night they are still very very bad, the smaller lanes are inpassable unless you have a decent vehicle it would seem!

Did take camera but it was still quite dark so hopefully winter wonderland pics will happen this afternoon....I'm not going to work today, will work from home, trains are up the spout here!

Solihull, West Midlands all clear this morning on main roads, side roads black ice and very cold, think its currently 1 degree at the moment.

The beauty of our livery yard is that you can do all your hay net packing, mucking out, washing down legs and horsewalker under one roof - I had years of an unsheltered cold stable on a cold yard, never again! Very lucky x
