I love it when it snows down south ie anything below BirminghM. It's suddenly newsworthy and the whole country grinds to a halt.

Quite cold tonight but crystal clear. My car registered -1°C when leaving a church on a slope. Slightly less cold in central Saarfend.

Had the curious experience last night of watching Orion, Gemini & C° to the east, then turning west into a snowshower.

-2 and slidey on leaving the house this morning, even in a 4x4.  Will leave it a bit before going out on two wheels.

Haven't been outside yet!  Looking out the window at two snow covered cars and a quarter mile long upward sloping snow covered driveway.  Mid-Wales.

Just about covering the ground in my part of the Forest, higher up they have a few inches.

We have had a little here. There was none at first light but now it's settling, nowhere near an inch yet.

5cm and increasing in leafy Bucks, just near the Chilterns. Wettish tho, papers have got here on time. Glad I sorted the logs and bird feeders out yesterday.

Looks close to 5cm thickness on the armrests of our garden bench in west London and lots of starlings bickering over food that they've turned their beaks up at for the past couple of days.

My cousin in North Finchley is hosting a family gathering today to celebrate his parents' Diamond Wedding.
His parents are staying in some Central London hotel, as they are visiting from Copenhagen.
I expect the Danes will mock the Brits.

As they should.

I hope I can join them and that London's Hackney Carriage drivers don't disappoint me by wimping out.

We must be right at the edge of the snow zone.  It's been snowing all morning but not really settling.
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

A very good covering here on the western edge of Leicester, and it's still chucking it down.
Apparently they've cancelled the CTC DA Carol Service near Twycross on 'safety grounds' - seems that CTC round here isn't made of the stuff it used to be !

Just 20 miles or so south and we have about 5 inches (English inches not these short measure centithings) with more falling steadily.  Some rural roads are closed.

Tipping down here too.  Just been out throwing snowballs for the dogs. They either chase them and search round wildly when they disintegrate on impact, or catch them, whereupon they explode in their teeth. Then they come back for more.

The annoying thing is that The Law makes us responsible for keeping the pavement clear outside our house.  If someone slips and breaks a leg on it we're liable. :(

Five English inches is about average, I believe. Falling steadily? Damn.

OX5 a couple of miles East of Woodstock, blearily opened the curtains and expletive deleted, about 4 inches and coming down fast, 7 month old puppy looked through the cat flap making grumbling noises and reluctantly went out for a poo, 10 minutes later asked to go out again and was running around in it excitedly. Radio on coffee in hand life is good.

                 I thought the law was that if you DID clear anything then and only then were you liable

Damply lying in SE London - maybe an inch, or two at most. But it's stopped falling and started melting in the past 20 mins.

Non here at all :(

Watching the weather on TV it was like in inverted world in that everything below eh Humber was getting loads of snow and everything above wasn't.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.
