Yet more snow is forecast from Sunday through to Wednesday... lets hope I get loads again... (yes, I am a big kid!)

I like the seasons to be as they should - snow and frost in Winter is wonderful!!! (warm wet winters are miserable for me and all the bugs survive that shouldn't)

I am NE of York (North Yorkshire surprisingly!) - as per my avatar. Unfortunately for you Old Bird, the snow is coming from the East, so you are unlikely to get it in Minehead... as per the forecasts so far

Well the last two snowfalls earlier this month left us stranded and took us two hours each time to dig ourselves out of our road to get to work, with OH sharing a few expletives or two!

In his infinite wisdom, he decided it was the car that was not gripping which then in effect caused us to be stranded, so off we go and buy a new car which arrived onto our drive just four hours ago!

So now I read on this thread we are due snow in the next few days ::) .....hmmmmm......so will the expletives diminish or will they in fact triple when the new car is put to the test in the snow...time will tell, we shall see ;D

The weather doesn't look so good for next week. Snow again. I don't mind that so much, but it looks like it will be extremely cold along with the snow.

We have winter tyres on at the moment, partly because we often go to Germany in the winter, and it is obligatory there. Insurance is invalid if you have an accident in the winter and have not got winter tyres on.

Came home via Dover one winter after a fall of snow, and I was impressed by their success. Lorries were sliding about and blocking the road uphill out of Dover, but our car was rock steady, and I was able to turn round and leave Dover by another route, also uphill, past cars that couldn't make it. I hadn't really believed in the tyres until then.

Exciting init! Just love snow ;D ;D ;D
Re the snow tyres - couldn't agree more, huge difference and much safer and controlled driving

i love snow, dont forget to make sure you have winter packs in your car and something in your office drawer (cans of soup etc in case you get stuck). And make sure you have a full tank of fuel!!

Let us know when you've got enough to build a snow scarecrow, Tony. ;D
Still waiting for ours -- mind you, it's not forecast to start here (west of London) till around 3pm, according to Metcheck (but continuing well into tomorrow). My two kids will probably have exploded with pent-up excitement before then. ;D ;D

Well, it stopped almost as soon as it started! no snow settled, not even enough for a bloody snowball!! ;)
