So what's happening, how much have you got?
An inch of slushy accumulated snowy rain here in Manchestershire...

About an inch and a half of the proper stuff here in Nottingham and it's still falling. I'm amazed that we've got it worse than further north- 9 times out 10 we're just south enough to miss it completely.

...everyones driving like pussies.

Innit. My drive back from the Peak today involved overtaking a number of crawling 4x4s in my Micra. There was about 1cm settled at the time...  :wank:

S2 has about an inch, all very powdery stuff rather than big wet & clumpy.

Kinder was fun today, nice & white but rather windy...

The drive home from Hathersage was lovely this evening. Not a single car got in my way from the bottom of School Lane, to the Dore Moor Inn. The road was easily driveable, even though it was pretty compresed snow. Still snowing now in S8. Probably 2 inches on the pavement.

No way!  I live in East Dulwich, but was at The Arch today and it seems all clear south of the river.  Crazy.

On the derbyshire/nottinghamshire badlands of pinxton it's proper snowed and is still snowing, can't really tell the difference between the road and pavement. Had to walk to the kebab shop! The sledge I bought in November will get christened in the morning with the kids, get in.
