    Blimey!! Lots of it here in South Oxfordshire. We don't usually get it like this. Forecast to last for several hours yet too.

    What's it like for the rest of you?

    Stopped already. Any vague enjoyment is quickly outweighed by the sheer faff of the entire country falling apart at an inch of snow so hope this is it.

    No sign of it letting up here!
    It will be a nightmare if and when it freezes.

    We had our first heavy snow couple of weeks back, but it didn't stay long, then a few days ago, but it's just very cold now (-5 at the moment) - beautiful crisp winters morning :cool:

    Snow is one of the things that defines 'old' and 'young'.
    Definitely feeling 'old' as I look out on the snow.

    I still get childishly excited when it snows. I went to wake my son up to tell him about it, and he's 19!

    Same in South Warwickshire, first time we’ve had it like this since the day we moved into this house, 7 years ago, and the first time our 4 and a half year old dog has experienced it. He was tenatative for about 30 seconds then started playing, a lovely sight. Forecast to keep snowing until 8 tonight, and then be very cold for the next few days, so we will have the traditional English shut down and panic.
    Snap. I’m looking forward to getting the wellies on. But hearty breakfast first.

    We have a few inches of snow at the moment in Central Bedfordshire. I am more than a little concerned as I have a meeting in Huddersfield tomorrow morning followed by a meeting Barnstaple tomorrow afternoon!!

    Hooray! Just seen my first BMW driver unable to cope with rear wheel drive in snow! One of the joys of inclement weather.

    Brief flurries here in South Norwood but already melting away into slushy mess, always less likely to settle in London...

    Enough here in Aylesbury to make "walking" the dog on my mobility scooter a little too exciting.

    Bugger that means my Mrs may use my car and she is atypically London driver
    All rush at the lights only to meet the same drivers at the new set
    Accelerate Brake is not the same in my motor ... it’s terrifying
