Where are Mickey? Please add in your location. Cheers

I don't think it's stalled, the heavier stuff still seems to be heading north quite quickly. Snow getting heavier now.

[Mark]

i hope the cold air makes a apearnce soon

On the Precip Type NW radar I've been in the green (sleet) all night but the red (snow) has just started to get closer.

That's got to be a good sign.

My temp has been stuck at 0.8c for 2 hours now though!

WOW mate crazy stuff!

[jazzy]

Bristle Boy, unfortunately it is Haldon Hill, the very same hill that is currently blocked.

[West is Best]

Snow still piling down and everything is totally covered, including the roads, in a nice thick blanket.

And the best thing about this? Hopefully no school tomorrow. Yay!!!!!!

Sorry, I'm focusing on Wales.

I meant it seems to have stalled or slowed a lot in terms of its northern boundary

Meanwhile the heavier stuff continues to pulse northwards through the southwest

Do you think it'll be cleared by tomorrow midday? esp if a thaw sets in. Is there another route to torbay?
