I'm also in Harlow & lots of the snow has turned to slush due to the rain, there is lots of puddles in the road which will turn to dangerous ice if it freezes again today/night

Pavements are still thick ice under the slush on back roads, still scarey to walk on :o((

Oh & to cap it all we have mist/ / fog

snow in coventry, schools closed so building snowmen and baking with DD today. Never known my teenage daughter to get up and dressed so fast she's off out to have a snowball fight and its not eevn 10am amazing what snow can do!!!
Not even going to attempt to drive today alreadt 2 cars have skidded trying to get out of our street. My dentist rang me at 730am to cancel my appoinment as he isnt opening today, sky ooks as though we may get a bit more snow but it has stopped for now.
Take care everyone its slippy underfoot x

Had a good 4 inches of snow here near Stourbridge on Monday, slowly melted over two days.

Almost gone last night, but this morning it is 2 to 3 inches thick again. Hubby walked to work this morning. The problem is worse in the evenings when the snow is compressed on minor roads and turns into a skating rink.

But after saying all this, I love to look out at it, my garden looks so pretty.

Hi Ann

It's trying to snow here on the North Wales coast,but not sticking.

Derbyshire signing in here. Has been snowing since about 5.00 this morning, so OH said, I was still under the duvet. Very light now.,but we have hadabout 4 inches. We are on the lower reaches of the Pennines, close to the border with Nottinghamshire, but very,very, bad further up county. In this area alone, M1 very trecherous, over 300 schools closed, events cancelled. Even the dog groomer called to cancel me dogs shampoo and set today
Best Wishes to All

Hi everyone gosh what a morning already! we had loads of snow first off and it hasn't stopped since. Heard on local radio that eldest school is closed today - loads of whooping and cheering from him! grumpy faces on the other two cos they have to go. It took me 1 hour and 15 minutes to get to work on what would have been a fifteen minute journey. I have never seen such idiots driving so fast then braking at last minute. Even the main roads are treacherous and haven't been gritted.

Am now awaiting a phone call from school to say i have to go back to collect youngest two.

Then when i arrived at work my boss says well we didn't expect you to get in today anyway.

And it's still snowing here in Nottinghamshire.

my dog doesnt look very white in it more a mucky white lol.

Just looked out front window and over road built a snowman that isabout 6 or 7ft tall

Snow-free in this part of Kent ( near Channel coast ) since Monday night.
We're near south facing hills which protect us somewhat,but over the top there is still snow in the fields.....so I'm told by family. Roads clear though.

Keep safe Ann.

Apparently Sussex (where I am) and Kent are gonna get hit with more snow tomorrow...........eekssssss

What little snow we had here on the Somerset Levels has just about disappeared.
Pity. I was quite fancying being snowed in for a bit.

I am catching up with my family tree! Snow everywhere (Northants) schools closed, roads blocked. Even my dog who loves a bit of snow said it was too much after leaping through thick snow up to his middle and decided to beat me back into the house!! Children going by in the road with sledges and trays to slide on!
Although it had stopped snowing this morning it has started again. I'm putting loads of food out for the birds!
