Parts of N Wales have 8" with places around Wrexham with a lot more.

It depends on how high you go. Under 600ft and it's been more rain than snow, 600' to 1000' half rain half snow with up to 4 inches in places. 1000' to 1500' about 6' to 8' and at 1800' to 2000' it's 10'+. Haven't gone any higher yet.

We've got snow, but it's beginning to thaw.
I live in Brechin, which is by-passed on the way to Aberdeen.

I'm currently staying with my Folks, in Arbroath, just north of Dundee, as my boiler has broken down, and it's been around the -7 degree mark.

Same story here really, we had about 8" yesterday (school was closed) and we had 2" more overnight.

None today but what has melted is now refreezing, they say the snow has reflected all the sun's heat and predict down to -10 in some areas tonight.

Worst of all, upper school is open tmorrow so I'm expected to go there even though all my morning lessons are at lower school and cancelled, so a day of sitting on my bum or covering for people who didn't buy a Land Rover :roll:

What's the betting school gets closed again before I get any teaching done 8-[

Looking out of the window of my nice snug signal box here on the outskirts of Ludlow and it's snowing again.
Forecast is for more tonight, and then again on Sunday, so I have just booked a hotel for 3 nights from Sunday. No way am I driving from Mid Wales at 0400 each day!!
Wonder if my boss will make a contribution?

I'm now on the same road as RRB, the RR is still in bits (she seems to know the most inconvenient times to break down) and the suppliers have sent the wrong gasket and an empty box :huh: :evil:

The Mondeo seems to be coping really well - it has not missed a beat since the snow started, though luckily when it was really nasty on Tuesday, I was not working that day. 

Ex boss got her Micra stuck in the car park this morning and the groundsmen had to dig her out and clear a space for her to park in - that was quite funny.
