We have a good foot+ here in Gainsborough....what about the rest of the country?

We only have a couple of inches here in Derby, but it's working on it....  :)

same here on the coast - popped out to the seafront to take a proper look - and its magical  :)
apart from the BMW drivers trying to get up hills (rear wheel drives!!!) it was nice and peaceful too  :)

22 inches  and sick of it.  wish it would just go but me thinks it will take a few JCB's to remove a lot of it in this village.   Beautiful scenes but needing a big shop now and the roads are treacherous. 

 :'( :'( :'(

Its just taken me 2 and a half hours to drive the 10 miles home from work....not a gritter or snow plough in sight!

Sorry to hear about all your snow.   Can you not put in an order for a grocery delivery from a Supermarket or do they not have them in your part of the world?  Their lorries may cope with the conditions better than your own car.

Sorry to read about your problems Fork.

Just a sprinkle in Swindon.  The ice is the problem on the foot paths.  Off to work now, not looking forward to the journey, but least at this time off the morning no much about and a nice set of warm ovens to cuddle upto when I get my frozen body there  ;D ;) Just add veg curry for breakfast.  Take care all. Regards Taurus

About 8 inches here in Ayrshire and still snowing.  The ploughs are doing a great job of keeping main roads open and all the schools are still open, surprisingly!

Into the seconed week of it now and it is still arriving. Sat in the bay window this morning looking over the North Sea and it is black with snow cloud. Each day i have been down the allotment had to knock of at least 4" of snow off the pollytunnel appart from one morning when instead of snow it rained the night before.
We have had the lot snow, hail, rain, thunder and lighting, and it now time to gear up and toddle of down to the allotment.

We have about half of that Lizann but over 200 schools are shut today!

Around 2ft all in.  In my back garden,  snow is up to the rim at the top of my wellies!!  (Guisborough, Teeside)

do you work in a bakery Taurus -sounds like a very early start!!!
I am back to work tomorrow and not looking forward to it-some of the villages I have to go to are very remote!
OH just got back from going to feed chickens on allotment and snow gone right over and into his wellies  :(

[lisaparkin]

We've got about 6".and it's been snowing heavily all morning. My daughter was supposed to have an interview at Lancaster uni today. Was going to drive but decided this morning to go by train but the snow and traffic into york was so bad we gave up and came home. She will be given another date but she was all psyched up for it and I've wasted a precious day's holiday. >:(

Tons of the stuff ;D Just spent couple of hours shoveling it aside to be able to open gates etc. Had to clear some paths for neighbours too as the wind blew loads against their gates and doors and they were not able to get out.
It was really nice to be out on street same time with  neighbours who you don't normally have chance to see  much.
We had good chat while clearing some of the street..we had some dogs running free, really enjoying the moment of freedom. ;D ;D..and not a single car able to move ;D ::) Like different landscape for a while ;D

I can't believe some of the pictures on the telly, the bit of dust that fell last night blew away, I am glad I am stuck indoors  but would not go out in it anyway if it was here.

They are still forecasting some to come here later, even the hospital have put out a call for 4x4 owners to get in touch, I've put my name down but my nipper will have to drive it as I am not insured until I get the all clear from the physio terrorists .

Still look on the bright side, With all this 'poor man's fertiliser' laying about it will be bumper crops next year.

[Ninnyscrops.]

Only about 4 inches but more forecast tonight.
