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;

And one of the old Jag;

Could you pull an inflatable do-nut with this quad ? Looks like fun  :D All we get is ice, no snow  .... sleet if we lucky.... then freezes to ice :(

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;



And one of this morning's temperature;
