Nothing. Clear blue sky.
Another attempt by the BBC to create panic comes to naught. Still using phrases like 'arctic weather conditions' and 'snowstorms from Russia' to describe a couple of degrees of frost and a possible inch of snow.

Just come in from making snow angels in the garden with the kids.
No sooner had I used all the snow up off the cars to throw at them, it snowed some more so I could do it again

Well it doesn't take much to cause chaos. A bit of settling snow on the hills heading out of Brighton and some fool in a BMW appears to have killed himself in it. Way too fast in the outside carraigeway of the A27 on laying snow = disaster. What a waste of a life - just to try and get ahead by a few car lengths.

My ickle Fiesta 1.6 Zetec-S is on 17s, with P-Zero Nero's with under 500 miles on (both the car and the tyres, before you ask), it's wheel spinning like **** this evening. I wonder what it'd be like if I turned the traction control off?

Pontificating
I may gloat about the +40 temps in Aus but bizarrely this is the first thing that has made me homesick for the UK 
Always loved a good old snow storm and it looks like you're going to get a proper amount this year.

Pfft about 5mm here (w.mids) 
Still, I've been for a quick drift and a doughnut in the works car park.
They should ban gritters...they've only done one side of the roads, and ran out completely on others. Its more dangerous with patchy ice/snow than if it was all snow and ungritted

Good one on GMTV this morning! Weather girl said "there could be a foot of snow here, and 12 inches elsewhere"
Love the way the news report it in the worse possible way as well, just to make sure they terrify you!

She said "There could be up to 6 inches of snow in some places - And even more in others"
