Loads of it in the air here in London. Haven't dared look out of my window to see if any of it is settling yet though!!

So little it's not possible to measure, but everything is covered. If I never see snow again in my life I wont miss it in the slightest.  ::)

The roads this morning were lethal - appeared ungritted and everyone chugged along at about 15mph. We also got a further 3 inches of snow over the lunch hour and I managed to forget to pack my tonneau cover :rolleyes:

Some picture below, location by the way is Banham, South Norfolk.

The worst road this morning;

What happens when you forget your tonneau cover, picture taken after moving it under a roof;

One of the major roads leading to the A11 this afternoon;

An inflatable donut?

We've still got snow with more on the forecast for Friday, Saturday and Monday. It got down to -12 at night but started to warm up eventually, it was a whopping -11 by 9am. ;) Over 200 schools closed in Norfolk today, including mine, which was nice - had a lie in, went out on the quad and went sledging :D

Here's a picture taken this morning;

You tow them, usually behind a boat, or if you watch Jackass, behind a V8 on the sand !

Ah yes, I've seen them.

Only had a sledge to pull with the quad. One of those donuts could potentially be quite fun, no point ordering one now though as the Post Office probably won't deliver it until after all the snow has gone.

I should have known better then to quote "So little it's not possible to measure" and kept my trap shut, it's piling up here with more to come.

@ Kamilb, I think you made a mistake with your first photos, a shot of the C5 in the open, overed in snow and no footprints around it would have been a wonderful candidate for the calender comp.

Argh!  >:( Why didn't I think of it there an then?

That would have been the basis for a fantastic picture.

We've had another inch or so today and I managed to get my car out of the freezing cold and into a garage for the foreseeable future  :D

We had quite a bit of snow on Sunday, which meant schools closed on Monday - which then meant going sledging down the big field / hill in the village  ;D

Was all back to normal for the schools yesterday, and as of today, it's starting to clear on the paths, but getting a bit slippy.

Think i'll leave the C5 in the garage for a little longer  :)
