Yes i drove to work in York around 1.30pm and there were small snowflakes fluttering down. Good job I had my winter tyres on!
Speaking of Snowball Plantation, do you mean the one at the end of Stockton on Forest, if so I used to drive to there when I lived in Heworth as it had a huge security light at the front and it was awesome to the snowfall, sure I have some pics somewhere from 09/10. @yaffle
