Snow hit Winchester half an hour ago. Looking at the webcams it doesn't seem to have arrived in Southampton yet. >:( >:( >:( >:(

4" or so of snow closed my college at Pershore at 12:00 today :( they chucked us all out at the same time as everyone else on the roads, so the roads became chaos... if they'd let us stay for the pm, the roads would have been cleared - grrrrr

I am now in a B&B, and if college doesn't reopen tomorrow I am going to bu**er off home to York tomorrow... (if the roads up there look (online) as though they are open...) as it looks like its going to get even worse up north from tomorrow evening and i wanna get home (and escape the south) by the weekend!!!

I am at college during the week doing a hortic degree...

Mel

p.s. I consider Pershore as "the south"...

It's past Southampton and currently causing mayhem here on the south island. Better dig me winter woollies out. No loafing about all day in my jimmy jams anymore. I had better get out and check the nursery. Should all be dormant so it won't cause any damage.

Hi Y'All,

Snowing on/off today in Tamar Valley, now freezing. Tho not much fell, roads are bad (pavements even worse). They apparenly have only 4 gritting lorries in the whole of Cornwall, because 'it hardly ever snows here' so we are going nowhere!

I've been living back home here for 2 winters, and it has snowed in both. Come to think of it we have just also had our third ghastly wet summer here. Is it me????????

Keep warm everyone.

A brief flutter of snow flakes here in Enfield a while back, but all quiet now on the western front. :-X ;D ;D ;D

Had a flurry this afternoon then turned to snow then hail. All quiet on the south-eastern front :) (for now....)
I'm wondering if going to London tomorrow will a) happen and b) be worth the hassle!!

About 1/2 inch here in Petworth. I've put the patio lights on & the cats are watching in amazement (at least I think thats the expression, it might just be "What the heck is that?)

I am sick of the white stuff and the freeze. My car is stuck in the snow and ice. I ran out of basic foodstuff and had to order from TEscos online (good old TEscos) Should get my delivery tomorrow between 12-2 if they can deliver it through the snow. Hope you get it easier in the South, its all become a bit boring now with over a foot of snow lying. It is also treacherous walking on it but I have had to.

:-X :-X

Just got back up from the garden lovely walk, nice and fresh and snow crunching under my feet, looking out to sea it is pitch black if that comes in i will be either wading thro more snow or struggling thro sludge tomorrow morning.
Don't complain about the cold it lets you know you are alive..

Blimey, that's Whiteley!

My son took 3/4 hour to cross Winchester, his colleague who was behind him had to go to Shirley and took 2 1/2 hours to get home!
