Oh no youarekidding. You are deprived.

Couple of inches in SE London, all the way from Bromley into town.

My DS tool one look and told me to shut the curtains. He's not impressed so far.

So where is the snow? I'm near Portsmouth and we are considering driving somewhere (friend and I) for the DC's to have a play in it. Not sure how far south it came and laid.

Still lots here in East Surrey, ds keeps running from window to window shouting "oh wow" as though he's going to find there's no snow outside one of the windows.

Thawing near Heathrow.
No hills within walking distance here either, but the snow-covered trampoline looks interesting...

Still a full covering in Warwickshire!Smile Only a couple of inches but I'm happy with that. When I heard the 'rain' last night I assumed it would all be gone, but I think the rain must have frozen as it fell. Or something.

Beginning to melt here Sad If DDs want to make a snowman, we're going to have to do it quickly!
Just glanced at the BBC forecast and they're saying we might have sleet tonight (think there's another weather front moving west to east.)

Chippy ~ I was LOL at our neighbours trampolines last night, all covered in snow! The safety nets are quite a sight!

Possibly some light wintry showers over night tonight in the east :)
other than that a very quiet week is showing with ice being an issue in the east over night for a few days but nothing else showing at the moment.

dd and dh off out sledging now (rather jealous!) but it will be a race against the thaw.

Only 2cm here, but still here so off out to the park in half an hour to enjoy is before it melts.

It's foggy though.

Ah but OYBBK, as much fun as sledging is, you're the one that can sit in the warm, have a hot Brew with those marshmallows and squirty cream you panic bought!

Snowing hard here in East Suffolk again this morning. No newspapers have got to the shop. Bumble is a bit more keen this morning. I am glad Wilf didnt come this weekend as i doubt he would have got back. There is loads in Kent where he is but none at all in Hampshire where my cousin lives.
