    Steady snow here in the SE so no doubt everything will come to a standstill. I will put the bins out in anticipation of collection tomorrow but H&S will no doubt raise it's ugly head.

    Heavy snow here, just tempting everyone out for a walk...
  • A bit dull & overcast here, after several days of bright sunshine, albeit cold, with the temp now about 1c.

    Being January with clear night skies I have been expecting the temps to drop to minus double figures but have been having "only" down to about -5c.

    Still no snow yet. image

    Our bin is going out & even with several inches of snow on it, it will be emptied, they have to really as snow is such a regular occurance here.

    I really do have respect for the snowplough/gritter drivers; don't know how they do it as they drive on ungritted roads! Actually one did slip over a couple of years back, unfortunately it was on a narrow road with a steep hillside & it went over the edge. Luckily the driver was fine but recovering such a large, heavy vehicle up the slope was another matter! Makes me shudder just to think about it.

    Ah well, on with the marmalade! image

  • North East Kent: Thick snow, not stopped since 4am! 3-5inches

    Highland Jeannie's comment of snow-plough drivers remind me of a lovely man I met in Canada a couple of years ago. His winter job was driving a snow-plough on the roads on and around the Columbia Iceway, in the heart of the Rockies,above Banff.He told me that some days he was driving through the forests clearing up to ten feet of snow - and going out the next day to do the same thing. I asked him if much traffic used the roads and he said virtually none - some days he said the only signs of life were the bears that occasionally wandered across the road! I must remind myself when having a quiet moan, not just about the weather, that there is always, but always, somebody who is havings things so much harder than me!

    So, no moaning, but it snowing again in the Chilterns - let's get out and enjoy it!

    Very cold all day but no snow.

    Frank.I'm due to travel up to Stockton mid week, how deep is the snow, don't relish the thought of driving and from the forecast this evening it sounds like you'll have snow most of the week image.
