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.

It's pretty heavy in E Berks (close to H'Row).

bummer harbinger :( it shows how knife edge it all is. Perhaps it will turn to snow.....

Thanks for the explanation, fascinating stuff.

Hello Malvern calling.

I have just crashed my car in the snow, abandoned car, been rescued miraculously by passing friend, taken to friends house, rescued again by husband, been diverted, driven very very slowly home (10 miles =90 minutes)

Have now had some rum and am admiring the beauty of it.
It seems that snow beauty is indirectly proportional to distance from home

hello Norks. You are quite near me. Are you ok? were you hurt?

oh good grief norks are you ok? snow crashes can be so surreal. Glad you made it home safely - take care of yourself.

You OK Norks? Also in Malvern. Need anything?

Oh heck, Norks. Are you OK?

Just been out for another measuring session and we're up to 7cms!

OH! I know who you are (I think!) Looked at your profile and I know of someone who does what you do, lives near me, friends in common! Won't out you, don't worry. If that's the case, really is there anything I can do? You home safe and sound?

It's raining now. DS1 is nearly in tears.

Getting heavy in SE London. Not sure if I am or : as long as its gone Monday.

Yipee - just popped outside for a fag and did a snow check

8 cm and is still chucking it down

OYBBK you mention the front has stalled - does that mean that we won't be getting the rain following on behind before the dc get up tomorrow? Hoping there will still be enough for a proper sledging session tomorrow? (Glos/Oxon border)

Oooh Gloria excellent! I think you copped a red bit on that radar, while Hinckley only got yellow :(

It's slowed down again now. I'll have a final measure in a bit.

I'm sorry sparkling, sadly the forecasts seem to be playing out.

How do you see it going for us here OYBBK? Will what we already have still be there in the morning? Will we get more?

Norks - I presume you are OK if you are home and drinking rum!! :) How's the car??

It's still snowing here - quite heavily now. It's laying really well, even on the road :) Trying to decide where to go tomorrow to make the most of it :)

Am now in tears thanks to LOVELY Malven MNetters.

I am FINE, but surprisingly shocked and shaky and feeling sick about driving into a hedge by The Bank House.
Lovely friend's son was literally and coincidentally three cars behind and rescued me, and drove my very broken car round to the garage by The Foal Yard...where it remains, sad and broken.

What is amazing is that as I sort of saw that I was going to crash I could 'see' myself thinking "shall I crash into the car in front, or shall I steer towards the hedge". Quite glad I chose the hedge ! It's softer.

lovely DH came out to rescue me and I had a panic attack in the car, even though he is a DRIVING GOD!!!!!!! Snow is scary.
My Norwegian friend thinks we are all soft.

Hope all you fellow Malverners are tucked up tight, and thank you

whojam - it may well turn sleety for a bit but with temps close to zero and hat much snow, I think there will be some hanging about. take care with ice though.

Will be interesting to see whether much snow is left in the morning.

ppp - I think it will still be with us. Fingers crossed!

Norks you need to be really gentle with yourself, Im not surprised you feel shaky. The important thing is that you are ok.

I will cross every limb! Thanks

So sorry about the accident, Norks

Finally its got here! (west kent)
