A few big flakes, enough to worry the 'school-run mums this morning :D

I'm just about to go get the lycra on and go out on the bike, unless it really comes on in the next 15minutes or so.


The Radio 2 traffic reports stated that various routes like the A66 were suffering from 'Severe Conditions', but as usual, that's 'par for the course'.


So, what if it happens in London??
If there's even close to half-an-inch, there'll be TV reporters out warning people not to venture outdoors, panic-buying in the local Delicatessen, Taxi-drivers crying about lost 'fares', 'Red "I love Newts' Ken' blaming Chelsea tractors for the weather :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

as always we didnt get any, if we do it usually means the rest of the country is 4ft under and we get 4inchs of frozen slush, the only problem with a 4x4 is you have to pull idiots that still want to do 40mph out of ditches and hedges!! :doh:

snowed here just north of Banbury about an hour ago. It was enough to cover the garden and the roof tops but not the roads. Nearly gone now though.  :roll:

Snowing rather enthusiastically as of 5mins ago here - not sticking on the roads but I'm hoping for some to play with in the hills.
