Another inch or two here in Birmingham overnight, which means the City has ground to a halt, no trains or buses, schools and collages closed irrespective of staff getting in or not.

However, long queues reported to get in & out of all the supermarkets and Blockbusters. ???

Was supposed to be at the Queen Elizabeth this morning.

Have too much experience of Birmingham roads in the snow so I cancelled. :)

Last lot had almost gone at teatime Wednesday, but steady fall overnight and continues now ..... about 1 inch level but not freezing

Just managed to clear a footpath down the drive, almost a pleasure ;D ;D

We are about to venture out for a walk in Willingham Woods (about 1 mile away)

It's drizzling here too, so the snow is melting - but it always seems to stay longer in our road because it's never gritted and there isn't much traffic. Recycling bins not collected today.

Snow completely gone by yesterday evening but woke up at 6.30am this morning to find about 4ins of snow, has stopped snowing now. Dog (KC Spaniel) wasn't content to just go straight out in the garden and do what ever she needed to do, just kept shuffling round and round, when she came in I had to remove lumps of snow from her stomach. Next time I will buy a Greyhound ;D. Son-in-law had my car overnight returned it at 7am this morning, I told him to leave it outside in the road. I have just put it in the garage as there are still idiots driving down our side road far faster than is safe.

Pah, no snow here in W. Essex >:( It's all rain and it's washing away what's still around. Although it's a heck of a lot easier to walk about now. I'd done several impressive torville and dean moves whilst on my way to various places (not excluding my office and there's CCTV outside :-[)

the_goodlife - I hope so! ;D ;D I know we've been forecast snow showers early tomorrow but nothing on Monday's scale - and it won't settle now anyway, it's too wet out there. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted :)

What area are you garden girl? :) :)

We are in South Herts Taurus. Been raining here this morning which has made the pavements even more slippy with the hard lumps of icy snow turning to slush. Nearly slipped over a few times when walking round to our local shops this morning :o

Been raining on and off all day clearing most of it but the side roads and pavements that nobodys attempted to clear ( lazy barstards ) >:( have got worse now its getting colder again. :'( ;D ;D ;D

Same here Kev... and the radio have just given out heavy snow overnight for the East Midlands... (Shame!) Main roads clear but still loads on side roads and pavements. I listened to that list as well Timnsal... but Derby Moor didn't post either so I drove Andy there to be turned round at the gate.. I mentioned the snowline and was told they were going to do it now... ::)

I think my two were the at the only school open in Derby today! They were not best pleased!
My son has just run out of the house to go and play out, wearing warm gloves, a wooly hat, two big jumpers, and.........shorts?! ::)

timnsal · « **Reply #172 on:** February 05, 2009, 19:24:39 »

I wouldn't have minded the omission so much, except for the message on the school's website to check on radio Derby and the link to their website ::)

Fantastic Sam.

I can't see it Sam. need to install Adobe AGAIN.

Its been snowing off and on all morning but just the fine stuff so no problems. Its going to be an exceptionally cold night though. I keep thinking of the poor folk who are homeless. How do they sleep out in conditions like it is just now.
