Just over the hill from you, OP, on W.Yorks/E.Lancs border, we saw our first flakes at about 4.00pm and just had a light dusting for hours. I've just let the dog out though and the flakes are bigger and settling faster. We're not panicking though, as we only get snowed in if there's a wind causing drifts at the end of the lane.
Currently light snow that is beginning to settle. Has been snowing for a good two hours now, but didnt stick on the road. Now it's starting to settle thankfully!
Thanks Lauren_Bay I was going to ask where you are .... Clodagh - what part of Essex are you in? Am hoping Romford area will get in later tonight - after evening stables !
