At last... the flurries have stopped teasing us and we know where we are. Which is to say, an inch deep in snow and more piling down thickly.
Now the big question is... will the little uns' school be open tomorrow or not?
For their sake, I rather hope not, even though it puts paid to me getting anything done.   ;D  ::)  ;D


me too i don't want to have to walk through it pushing the blooming pushchair. plus my older daughter would love to get the opportunity to play in some before the winter is through.

Welcome, Molly. 15cm... *does mental translation... six inches in old money... wooo!* They still do proper snow in Kent, then.  ;D
Metcheck was saying some places could get up to 20cm (who knows, could be that deep with you by morning). :o

Thank you to everyone for welcoming me so warmly!

I am in Orpington and there is now about 20cm in places. My daughter has already decided that she is not going to college tomorrow!

Morning Hopalong: sounds like the same blizzard that's sitting over us here in Middlesex. It's not stopped snowing since I clocked off last night, we have 4 inches-plus outside the front door.

Thifasmom, same here -- two frantically excited children have just heard that school's closed for the day. Just as well; we have to travel by tube or bus, and there's precious little of the one and none at all of the other this morning.  ;D

We've got it now!!!  Chucking it down

Have had to cancel today.  Just tried to find out about SW Trains' reduced service - their website has crashed!

8.20 a.m. and no car has passed our house - don't think we'll see the milkman today.

Must be about 15cm here too and it's still coming down.  OH left for work in Westminster an hour ago - not sure how far he'll get.   :(  Just took this from the warmth of the kitchen.
