We have FINALLY got snow in south W Midlands!! Big chunks, but I'm sure knowing my luck it won't last!

Loads more snow here but like LadyFlumpalot's picture earlier, it's awfully wet and only settling in odd patches. Felt more like sleet when I went to the garage just now.

Nothing here.

Jeezus! Just looked on the webcam for Blackbushe airfield and well. Yeah.

The video will run a couple of seconds, freeze then restart.

Yay Gloria!!

I have absolutely bucketfuls! Its gorgeous - just falling in massive lumps, undoing all of the melt that the sleet did.

Off for another walk!

Loads of snow when we woke up and it has been snowing heavy non stop

Had fun sledging etc
Couldn't get into work as our road doesn't get gritted it's awful!!

A walk OYBBK? Actually it might be quite nice going along lit sections of pavement in this snow.

So much here near Farnham! Don’t think we’ll be venturing far from home tomorrow —though lack of wine might force my hand—

Love the snow in the distance photos LadyFlumpalot That’s exactly what I’ve got.

DH is on the M3 near Blackbushe

JustLurkingAway ~ we might be in for a few snow showers overnight. I posted earlier that I thought that the wind had changed direction so was bringing more showers my way (Leicester.) I see another one incoming so hopefully another 20-30 minutes and it should be with me and I'll send it along to you when I've finished with it!

Oh MeetOnTheledge I'm sure I heard something about the M3 just now on the travel news and looking at the TrafficEngland cameras here, conditions look awful at the moment. Hope he makes it home soon.

MeetOnTheLedge m3 is shut between Winchester and hook due to 3 Jacknifed lorries! I hope your Dh gets home safe soon

M3 closure. Basingstoke is gridlocked.

We got nothing here in Dartford. I was so confident I turned my daughter's alarm clocks off lol. They were a little unhappy when I got them up ha ha

He went Hook to Farnborough, is now on A31 so good progress

Dd is on a coach returning to Kent from Plymouth. Left at 11am. Now on M3 at Winchester...
I'll be picking up at gone midnight at this rate....

Went for a walk. It's quite alarming how many trees are coming down under the weight of the snow, ran past one cracking above us.

I'm in a town just a mile or so outside of leicester and we don't have anything at all yet!

I went for a short walk (10 min circular), no trees cracking yet near my home. Hope it stays that way as the roads are a nightmare without trees coming down as well.

That's good Meet.

I'd be very careful in that warning area (and surrounds) - lots of trees coming down across roads now according to twitter. Don't travel through it unless you absolutely have to.

MeetOnTheledge that's good to hear.

Gloria Basingstoke is absolute carnage right now Dh is a nurse and has just walked 45 minutes to get to the hospital for a night shift as the roads are completely gridlocked

I think what's amazing me the most is how localised this whole thing has been. We had barely anything here, yet Shaftesbury has been in the BBC news for the amount of snowfall. I can SEE Shaftesbury from my house!

DH is home now, phew.
