We left at 6.30 just as snow turned very heavy and slow going until we hit motorway. Well cleared and further N we went less snow, think it was following us!
Way home was a bit more hairy. 2 lanes of moroway clear and thankfully no idiot drivers. Further S more snow but was definately creeping N
Worst was when we left M5 at J7. As we got closer to Malvern roads and snow became worse. Saw 1 smash on side road junction and several cars stuck on the hill up to Great Malvern. Back end of car went around a bit on a roundabout really big skid when tried to park outside house. Usual pratts driving in poor visibilty without lights
Oscar dog has gone totally silly in snow, he loves it and has played football with the only one daft enough to go outside with him
Oh Flo hope your roof is OK and everyone else is safe and dry .
Neighbour, whose tree it is, came round to help move the branch. Fortunately only minor damage to edge of roof so we should stay dry. Gutter's a bit squished but he said he'll fix it when the snow's gone.
Have sorted bird food and water so nothing to do now until coffee time. Will take a wander down to the Sandwich shop and have some of the lovely coffee there, might also be tempted to have a piece of cake. Might - who am I kidding?
Morning all. I'm at my desk, and have been since 8.30 - am I the only one to have gone to work today? Its snowing steadily, the road is going white. Main roads are clear - so far. I heard on the news its chaos along the M4 in South Wales. Cue lots of reporters standing around freezing their bits off!
Bjay, glad you got the airport run over and done with, I just hope the planes are still flying!
Flo, glad to hear there wasn't much damage! Please send cake to cyber locker!
Also, can someone please send a snow plough out for me later so I can get home? Thanks, much appreciated
Checked when got home - plane was 15 mins late taking off. OH thought the way the snow was moving N they would have just missed snow getting to airport. Of course they have to come back yet - late Sunday night Will this be big enough Lottie?

Hello everyone
We are back safe - phew.

Snow has resumed here. Enough now to make a snowman.
Been outside to clear driveway, but it's very cold. The snow is very powdery. It blows away easily. I suppose this is how snow drifts form.
So it's not sticky enough to build a snowman. (Wrong kind of snow).

Glad you're safe Bjay.
