Who's got snow today?

And if so,how much? I admit I'm like a big kid with regards to snow,despite being 54 years old and having a disability which limits my mobility. I had no idea snow was expected in the west London area today,so had a big surprise when I wandered into the kitchen at 8am this morning to feed the cat and saw snow on the roofs of the houses opposite. It's not a massive amount admittedly,only an inch or so. On the weather forecast late last night,it said snow was expected in northern parts of England and the south west,no mention of the south east. So I was mightily surprised. I just love the way a layer of snow transforms the usual dull landscape around where I live.

I just hope it doesn't snow anymore tbh. We've had a few inches but all it does it cause chaos. Which is fine if you don't have anywhere to be..

❄️ in central London! Not really settling but very pretty.

Littlewhistle · 10/12/2017 16:54

NE of Scotland and not had anything so far

Very little in West Yorkshire thankfully. Not keeping our services open is not an option. I expect the roads to be treacherous tomorrow.

Midlands here, about 6 inches- maybe 7. It’s eased off now and forecast to freeze overnight. My DC have loved it. The youngest is 7 and the last proper snow we had here she was too young to remember —and had a tantrum when she stood in it— 😂

Staffordshire 9cm measured at 10am this morning and it's still snowing now

CointreauVersial · 10/12/2017 17:02

Bugger all in Surrey.

Well, we had some flakes, but it was so wet it didn't stick. Kids are most annoyed.

Bath, none settled here although it has been snowing lightly for about 4 hours!

DrDreReturns · 10/12/2017 17:05

Loads here in North Worcestershire. We've been tobogganning!

SenecaFalls · 10/12/2017 17:06

No snow here in Florida, but it is pretty chilly today.

oopsydaisy92 · 10/12/2017 17:07

North Hertfordshire Here. We've had quite a bit and it's still snowing I think! Most schools have been shut tomorrow

leccybill · 10/12/2017 17:07

Argh, i'd kill for a snow day tomorrow.

JustDanceAddict · 10/12/2017 17:08

In London & a fair amount!

RacingRaccoons · 10/12/2017 17:09

Midlands here, schools are shut tomorrow and main roads were gritted. Probably 5/6 inches.

RacingRaccoons · 10/12/2017 17:09

*main roads weren’t gritted.

Bubblysqueak · 10/12/2017 17:10

Not too much but the areas surrounding us are covered Envy

Tiddlywinks63 · 10/12/2017 17:11

Eight miles from Bath here, two inches of snow but it's melting on the paths/road. Won't be much fun when it freezes. DH is digging his car out near Abergavenny to try and get back. He says 8-10" there.

phoenix1973 · 10/12/2017 17:12

Bedfordshire about 4 inches and its been snowing all day. Will be nasty to drive on tomorrow. We had cars skidding and wheel spinning along our road, they needed pushing out.
Took child sledging and drove into town. Even the main roads havent been gritted. Not good.

underneaththeash · 10/12/2017 17:12

We're in Bucks and we've had about 2 foot. It will def be a snow day tomorrow for 2 of mine as we can't get the car out.

RhiannonOHara · 10/12/2017 17:13

North London, quite a bit.

It's pretty, but I'm going on hols next week and am terrified that it might turn to ice and slush and mean that Gatwick might be closed and/or the Gatwick Express up the Swanee. [paranoid] [needs this holiday]

mynameisspam · 10/12/2017 17:14

I'm mid Shropshire and we've had loads. Snow day tomorrow as school is shut for dd. Temperatures are expected to really drop too so Day In to do Christmas things :) xxx

thegreylady · 10/12/2017 17:14

We have a lot

PricillaQueenOfTheDesert · 10/12/2017 17:14

We have a good 6 inches here in the Black Country. I made DH go for a walk and snowball fight! I also made snow angels in a empty car park.

Who's got snow today?
thegreylady · 10/12/2017 17:15

I am in Shropshire too 🙂

MsHarry · 10/12/2017 17:15

Northamptonshire. Quite deep, I'd say 6 inches. It's magical and we've just put the tree up too. Feeling Christmassy now Grin
