It's proper snowing in the Tees Valley now. I haven't seen it like this for a couple of decades. Big flakes and laying quickly.

Absolutely blanketed here up the road. It's like a blizzard. The roads are covered and look very dangerous.
Cinds husband's car's just skidded across the road in Newcastle so he turned straight home and isn't venturing out. He's ok thankfully!
I haven't seen it like this for a long time. I was gonna take a piccy for f/b but thes nee batteries in the camera.

A friend of mine was on her way home from Chemotherapy yesterday and a car pulled out of a side street and went right into the side of her, he could've waited to pull out as there was no-one behind her, the idiot just couldn't wait a few more seconds....her car is smashed in on one side and she was very badly shaken, bad enough she feels crap after the chemo.....

She's feeling much better today thanks Leccy, still a little shaken and exhausted after her treatment, she's a tough cookie so she'll be fine

It's snowing here now (Black Country) and roads are very, very icy. Hubby has just come home as it's getting too dangerous to drive. Hope everyone who has to make a journey tonight is ok.
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it! (in Essex btw)
Two nights ago it started.... by midnight we had a powercut (us and 3 other villages and the northern bit of the town) for 12 hours. So no heating... no cooking (apart from hubby bbqing bacon in the garden, in the snow)... and NO INTERNET (cos of router).
Couldn't even bundle down parents house ... cos we were snowed in as well.
TWO DAYS AGO it was.... and the roads, even the main ones through town are so bad I won't be attempting it again.
WTF has our council spunked the gritt money on? Thats the burning question!!

Photo evidence of what is admittedly a residential road... but the main ones are not much different.
See how there isn't THAT much snow... and see how there is NOT ONE BIT OF THAT BEAUTIFUL BROWN SPLATTER at the side of the roads, that would indicate a bit of gritting action has taken place!
And yes... I did take that whilst driving... and yes I know I probably shouldn't have... but honest, I was in first gear, doing about 5mph!
Ok.. rant over! for now

It's been snowing on and off all day in Devon. I don't mind, I've got everything in, so don't need to go out. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Yeah... I tried to do that the day it was forecast to start snowing... .. I underestimated how much they all eat when they are in the house all day!
I am considering rationing!
