Just sleet in our corner of Somerset, although there are a couple of inches a few miles away. We'll see

Probably a couple of inches here in Suffolk but already melting.

It's sleeting where I am just west of London right now, a frosting on rooftops, but not settling on pavements which are too wet from overnight rain. Snow looks pretty but I hate they way it makes everything grind to a halt. Off to the Cotswolds on Tuesday for a few days so hoping it's cleared a bit by then.

The news says we have about 7" here - but I have to say it is more like 12" from where I am sitting!

Everything cancelled and I ma guessing nativity plays planned for tomorrow are unlikely to happen as the schools will be closed I expect.

It is magic though and we are hunkered down by the woodburner.

The town Mayors Carol Service has been cancelled . Get a life Annieb

Same here Greyduster ... nothing to speak of at all.
Local Christmas market cancelled on it's final day!
It may arrive but certainly not today

So true Greyduster, such beauty ?

humptydumpty Sun 10-Dec-17 12:40:33

All bus services cancelled here. Looks beautiful but I'm starting to get cabin fever smile

Because, Annie, on a good weather day, The Beacons are glorious beyond words!

I live in London and the snow is deep here. There is no way I could drive because the road is on a slope and I think that I would end up driving gently into the idiot's car who parks opposite the entrance.

About 6 inches in Oxford and still coming down!

silverlining48 Sun 10-Dec-17 12:17:18

We had a tiny bit this morning but it has come to nothing and is melting fast.

Anniebach Sun 10-Dec-17 11:50:43

We certaintly have Greyduster, I have filled three thermos's , got plenty of food in for Lottie , don't like this amount of snow in December , too early. Why do I choose to live in the mountains, duh

Quite a bit in Staffordshire, cat not happy but the dog would still like a walk please!

Eglantine21 Sun 10-Dec-17 11:43:37

Still snowing here. That's my lunch in Cambridge down the drain!

merlotgran Sun 10-Dec-17 11:32:04

Not exactly snowed in as I could get down the farm road in our 4x4 if I really had to but I'm not going anywhere!!

I can't remember when we last had so much continuous snow fall in East Cambs. We lit the woodburner early, bread is in the breadmaker and mince pies on the go.

DD1 is stuck in Lincolnshire having been working there over the weekend so DGS will be eating with us. I'm glad she's made the decision not to try and get back as the roads will be treacherous.

Take care, everyone.

Annie I saw pictures of Sennybridge. You certainly have a basinful in your neck if the woods. Stay safe and warm!

Greyduster Sun 10-Dec-17 11:26:30

We were expecting the same; all the weather forecasts and maps indicated amber warnings for early this morning and falls of apololyptic proportions. All plans for the weekend were accordingly cancelled. What have we had? I have sifted more icing sugar onto the top of a Victoria sandwich than we have had so far. They have now downgraded the forecast. Surprise surprise! No! I’m not complaining; we may yet get it, but I just hate to feel shackled to the weather forecast.

Anniebach Sun 10-Dec-17 11:23:20

We are in Mid Wales,

Luckygirl Sun 10-Dec-17 11:17:41

About 10-12 inches here! It is lovely! Sadly my plans to go out with GC are down the pan as I wouldn't be able to get out - but they are ringing me with stories o the children loving the snow; and I have lit the woodburner here and we will settle in and write the Christmas cards.

Anyone else snowed in?
