Good Morning Everyone,
The dawn is just about to break over Brackley but its cold with frost no sign of snow yet.

Good morning folks. Five inches of snow here in Sheffield and no sign of stopping yet. Nothing moving on the roads. Walked three quarters of a mile to have a blood test this morning. One nurse and one doctor had managed to get in but weren't sure they were going to get home! Enjoyed the walk though, so I must be getting better! Very pretty out there.

Morning all.
Frozen with sleet first thing here on the East Coast.
More sleet during the morning but brighter just now.
Roads were terrible when I walked down for the paper and I do feel sorry for anyone having to drive in such conditions.
They don't seem to grit around here away from the bus route roads.

No, they don't. Main roads only. While we lived there they stopped paying the farmers to go out and shovel snow away too. The problem being, tiny population (so little income) in huge area.

About a foot of snow here in the Peak District.
A new Aldi has opened just down the road today, so we braved the snow and managed to get a TV for half price.
The Directors who were supposed to be at the official opening didn't make it because of the snow so the girl who who was meant to be making tea for them was mopping the floor where everyone was tramping the snow in!

Very odd weather here in North Wilts...one minute snowing, look up a minute later and it's not, repeated for past ten minutes confused
Getting giddy!
