We've got enough here now to make a few useful snowballs I throw them at the dog, she catches them then eats them

I have enough tto make a traditional Manchester snowball !

Being honest though, you don't actually need any snow, just Dog ****, glass , *** ends and gravel, the snow is optional.

Snazy has just pointed me towards the met office website.. holy crappitto! There is a 60% chance of us getting this:


There is a High Risk of a Severe Weather event affecting much of England and Wales on Monday. Periods of snow will continue to extend northwestwards through the day, with heavy falls likely in places. Although marked variations will occur from place to place, 5-10cm is likely in many areas with as much as 20-30cm possible, especially over higher ground. Drifting will occur in fresh to strong easterly winds. This could cause disruption to travel networks, especially across higher level routes.

Had next to nothing here so far. Belted down for a couple of minutes earlier, but that's pretty much all up to now.

A good 6 - 8 inches here, and snowing heavily. (Richmond), working nights tonight so the drive home should be interesting.

I have already banned the other half from going to work tomorrow.

None here yet. It sprinkled a bit a few hours ago, but hardly anything worth calling it even a snowfall. Its very still outside. Like a calm before storm. I may find a thick blanket of snow out there in the morning. We shall see.

Haha, funny reading this topic from the start. All they doubters proved well and truly wrong, lol.

Just watching BBC News and laughing at all the RWD cars getting stuck on what looked like pretty flat roads. FAIL!
