6 to 8 inches in the Chilterns, and still snowing gently. This afternoon the hill at the back of my house looked like Austria - covered in kids(and adults!) skiing and tobogganing - must have been a couple of hundred people out there. Just the job - a gentle ski down the slopes, straight down to the Marlow Brewery, housed in old barns, for a free glass of Rebellion Ale.
There's plenty of food, tinned and frozen, in the garage, so for the next few days, the cars can stay where they are, and we can enjoy the views and the silent roads.
dmball, sounds idyllic especially Rebellion Ale! Here in the Fens it is not snowing this morning, the 1.5 inches that fell yesterday is still there, roads look pretty clear, but I won't be venturing out onto ungritted roads.
Still over ankle deep and trying to snow again. I don't know about venturing out in car. as our little road is impassible. When we returned yesterday car skidded to a halt when we tried to get it on drive so we have left it there. - we live in a close though so no passing traffic!
Stockton had overnight snow although once I managed to get off the drive and onto the main road it was OK. It is now dull and looks as if more snow on the way.
W.Manchester was below freezing, just, again this morning. No more snow overnight, but it keeps trying today. Not even reached 1C outside yet.The roads around had all been gritted, even the estate, so driving this morning fine.
Have fed the birds- lots around today. Loads of house & hedge sparrows earlier- great to see them again.
Now to get comfy with a seed catalogue, need to finalise my order. J.
The weather map tells Teesside it has its own snow cloud hovering in the Tees bay ready to swoop as the bitter cold easterly wind drives it inland. I did not really want to know that, it is dull with heavy cloud and just above freezing, what am I doing in the garden today Zilltch. The oven is warming ready for a nice piece of Silverside and the trimmings, had visitors last night and more today.

Snowing heavily in N. Yorks.

Hope you all stay safe and warm!

Snow had all melted last night but it's all white again this morning. Here is my magnolia "Leonard Messel".
Just above freezing first thing & still out there. Quite windy & lots of bird activity on feeders. Lots of cloud, a dull January day.
I did notice the first light around the curtains this morning is getting earlier.
Seed order done, next job sometime soon is to find the propagator which is is the shed! J.
