The 2010-2011 Winter Snow Report Thread

It was snowing big flakes yesterday morning but stopped...Like ksand said its the ICE! DH was driving home from picking up the kids at 3ish yesterday and he said the car started sliding due to ice just because it feel SO cold.
I would prefer snow over ice ANY day. I would like a white Christmas ;-)

Yesterday, we had an episode much like noirem described above, over the course of about 2-3 hours, but like persephone said - nothing stuck.  Fine by me!  Am still waiting for this 'storm of the century' they were all hyping up a day or two ago on the news.  Isn't that what happened in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?  (it's really okay if it doesn't manage to turn up though)

Snow definitely over the curb- because I couldn't see the curb when I was walking home- and I fell off the pavement and into the street and smacked both my knees (and one knee is still a mess from my car versus the ice puddle a few weeks ago so that really hurt!!!)

Ouch!

As long as DH and I can get to where we're going safely, then whatever else happens is okay.

Holy crapping snow in London right now!

It only started about 20min ago, but already we have a good half inch or so on the ground... it's REALLY coming down!

After yesterdays mad throw down for 2 hours we ended up with only a dusting in Derby. Now it's blazing sunshine outside -- but jeez! it's cold! Brrr

For about 10 minutes it snowed in the manner that would make any lake effect area in the US proud, then it tapered off to flurry snowfall again.  Very cool though.  Our front garden looks like it's covered in confectioner's sugar.

Just took my puppy for a walk in the park about 12:30.  It was just starting to come down gently when we left the house.  By the time we finished our first lap(about the size of a football field) around the park, the ground was completely covered.

Random flakes flying here this morning and it's bitterly cold out there...I had to go out and get light bulbs for over the stove, the oven & the kitchen...we had a blackout in the kitchen, one light blew and took the other 2 with it 

There's about six inches on the ground in Dorchester now, still not sure if we'll be able to get to Cardiff tomorrow.  Ksand, any thoughts on what the weather will be like between Dorset and Wales tomorrow?

Quite a bit coming down here is SE London.

Same here in E London.

To be honest, I'm not really sure what's going to be happening tomorrow. It looks like there are no major weather warnings on the Met Office website (but that may change) and it also doesn't look like they're predicting any more snow in the area tomorrow either.

I guess it's mostly just going to depend on the state of the roads for driving between Dorchester and Wales.

"Heavy snow warnings are in place across the UK, with "very heavy" alerts for London, the Home Counties and Surrey."

Quote from BBC just updated.

There were some beautiful, huge flakes coming down in a torrent earlier.  Now it's the tiny fast flakes here in SW London.

We've had some little flurries here today, which were actually a bit worrying because just those flurries have managed to delay the trains by about 10 minutes. 

We had some overnight - about an inch.  That's it so far.
