Can't promise that I'll be able to add as much as I usually do (not very well atm) so its quite likely I might miss stuff but I've added a few thoughts to that thread re the current set up and tis easier if I just keep it in one place.

ds just eating his tea will stick him in the car in a minute and just get there early. It is just about walkable just not with two tired kids. Should be fine

JKSLtd · 04/02/2012 16:33

Ds1 is especially desperate! We keep checking the snow map to see where it is. Was hoping it would start in daylight but doesn't look likely.

teddymummy · 04/02/2012 16:35

It's snowing in henley on thames!

mankyscotslass · 04/02/2012 16:35

Not nice at all OYBBK - and I have to walk a mile there and back in it to collect eldest Manky.

Snow still lying on the grass/hedges and walls but not much else left now, we had a good cm before, DD was out playing in it, so not a total waste. Smile

Oh well, I hope you get losts of the decent stuff!

Snowing in Lincs now.

PeneloPeePitstop · 04/02/2012 16:38

Very, very impatiently awaiting.... OYBBK you're not that far from me are you?

travellingwilbury · 04/02/2012 16:41

I have been watching the sky all day , it does look like it is going to snow but nothing yet , west sussex .

I would like a lot of the stuff so I can't drive tomorrow and have to stay at home instead of stupid work .

What are the chances OYBBK ?

pepperrabbit · 04/02/2012 16:46

So is it moving faster than expected, cos right up until this morning we weren't expecting it till 6ish and it arrived 4.15ish - which i know isn't much in weather terms but still
Anyway, am sat here with my hair all done ready for my birthday dinner party - and the first guests have already cried off - despite DH ringing them secretly while i was at the hairdressers to check they were ok with the weather. Sad
Poached salmon anyone?

not too terribly far PPP - but I do like to keep where I am private.

pepper - I think that the front is travelling across as expected but its just that there is more precip ahead of it than was perhaps forecast.

travellingwilbury - if you are a decent way inland then you might get a decent amount. Its just a matter really of if it turns to rain later in the night and that is really really hard to tell.

Pepper :( I'll have some salmon with you! Aww xx

travellingwilbury · 04/02/2012 16:52

Thank you , am near Horsham so pretty inland , no to rain though , then it will melt and I will have to drive on all slushy ice stuff .

Well done on the RebeccaMN predictions btw , I am sure they should be giving you a medal or chocolate or something by now ? Wink

PeneloPeePitstop · 04/02/2012 16:53

Oh I know.... wouldn't expect you to say. Just trying to figure out if it'll be very long before it gets to me. Impatient git me Grin

Pimmpom · 04/02/2012 16:53

Arrww pepperrabit poached salmon sounds lovely. I am supposed to be going out to restaurant for my birthday dinner - hopefully we will get there before it starts snowing. If not I don't know what to eat (wish I had some poached salmon indoors lol) Have a lovely birthday dinner party.

GloriaSmud · 04/02/2012 16:57

Pepper ~ I'll have some salmon too. That's Sad for you, hope some people are able to make it.

We've had tiny flakes for about an hour and got a good covering.

Auntiestablishment · 04/02/2012 16:57

Very light snow here (a few miles from Oxford) for the last hour or so. Had thought it had stopped but there's still the odd flake descending.

ChippingInLovesEasterEggs · 04/02/2012 16:59

OBYYK I have snow :) It started snowing when I was in the supermarket and it's now laying (lightly). Getting pretty :)

Pepperrabbit/Nannynick - yes, that Meadows :) There are a lot of us around here :)

I'll take my reward in jelly babies Wink

pepper - hope you have a good evening.

Where it looks like it is petering off along the front line - fret not! That is just the advanced guard!

FannyPriceless · 04/02/2012 17:01

It's been snowing here for about 3 hours (West Midlands). Very steady the whole time, but only tiny little snowflakes. Everything is totally white now, but it's not really enough to build a snow man with. Maybe a snow mouse. Or a snow cat if you were really determined.Smile

whojamaflip · 04/02/2012 17:01

Snow snow snow SNOW!!

Sorry just a bit excited Blush

Started about 2pm and has been snowing steadily for the last 3 hrs (glos / Oxon border) Kids outside sledging! Happy bunnys cos I've been telling them we were due sleet not slow - having an early tea then out for more sledging by torchlight Smile

RabidEchidna · 04/02/2012 17:02

Where is MY snow, I want snow I want it now.....send me your snow at once, I demand snow

ChippingInLovesEasterEggs · 04/02/2012 17:02

Had to laugh in the supermarket though. I was there, just doing a regular, needed to be done, shop (not at all down to whether it was going to snow or not) and most people seemed to be doing much the same , the usual gaggle of teens/early 20's buying 'fun food' to share with mates and this woman (yes, a woman also shopping, please do note the irony) says 'I don't understand why all these people are panic buying, it's so annoying'.

I was like........ermmmmmmmmmmmmmmm????

RabidEchidna · 04/02/2012 17:03

Makes own snow
