Snow? What is that? Living in Hampshire, I am unfamiliar with the concept. Am I right in thinking that it something that very occasionally appears but then very quickly melts away to nothing, or is that my wages after her Ladyship has got at it? Hmm. Tell me more of this 'snow' thing!

Stopped here now, and melting! Hope the forecast is right, it might have a chance of sticking if the temperature keeps dropping.

Currently snowing here. Not sticking though due to the water on the ground. If it continues overnight though it could stick, as it's bloomin' cold out there!

Typical, I get my head shaved, and the temperature drops right down...

It is snowing quiet heavily here and about half a cm on my car and a light dusting on the road and it is the stuff that crunches under your feet, not slush.

I am in Daventry / Banbury way.

I was over near Hereford today and we had 10mins worth of snow there at about 2pm.

If it comes down nice and thick we will be sent home if the roads are too dangerous to drive down and push bins. I can play all day then! 5 tonne tirfor (hand winch) is already in the disco from tree stump pulling this weekend.

Can't wait to wake up now!! :lol:
