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.

We're back, its started and its laying despite seeming a bit sleety. Quite glad party wasn't until 5:30. So that's near Guildford for those still waiting. Happy Birthday Pepper!

That was from 2 years ago rabid. I worked all afternoon on that and do you think dd and her friend were impressed? nope. They played in it for a bit and then went in cos dds friend was cold. So I sat in it for a while Grin

I've been out and gritted the road (hill). Hope this snow does not end up being a non event. It seems to be stopping at the moment. Maybe the lull before the storm. Looks like some areas have a cm or so of snow... Example: Bath.

oh well done nannynick! Normally I like clearing paths and stuff but I cant at the moment - waah! snowing a bit heavier here after a lull, on the edges of the main precip pretty much right on time. Clever models!

santac - I'm afraid that's in a prime spot for bucket loads of snow.

Just back in - the snow isnt actually melting here, the sleet/hail is falling and freezing - I had ice crystals in my jacket when i got home!

Still not more snow though.

PeneloPeePitstop · 04/02/2012 17:45

aha.... it's over Petworth way!

OhyouBadBadkitten · 04/02/2012 17:47

cool ice crystals! It does sound treacherous though manky. I think the ice risk is really nasty for many areas overnight and into tomorrow morning.

OhyouBadBadkitten · 04/02/2012 17:52

SNOW!! Small tiny flakes in Surrey Hills.

GlitterKitty · 04/02/2012 17:55

OhyouBadBadkitten · 04/02/2012 17:58

Guess that's it for Somerset! By the time there was enough for sledging, it was too late to go out! DC worried it will be gone by morning.

LtEveDallas · 04/02/2012 18:01

Hi OYBBK. Snow is just starting to settle here is Bicester, Oxon. Not telling DD yet in case it's all we get (very light at the moment)

VeryLittleGravitas · 04/02/2012 18:04

I built an igloo 2 years ago...it had always been one of my life's ambitions. I have pictures of DP sitting outside it in the nip (one of his '100 things to do before you die')

TeWihara · 04/02/2012 18:05

South Northants, thickening up really nicely there is at least 1cm and it's still going.

OhyouBadBadkitten · 04/02/2012 18:07

Going to be away from the computer for a bit - real life calls but back later :) Thanks for the updates!!
