Hi all, apologies that this has been locked, we working to get the forum onto a new server very soon and will unlock it as soon as we're there.

If you have any video (or photos) you would like to send to us, it'd be great to see them and feature them on a special video channel we've put online:

Here's a few of my pics from Colkirk, Norfolk. (Near Fakenham, just off A1065)

I have to say i've never experienced a night like last night, i was very worried for my safety. my friend and i were working late and began our journey at 10pm, we finally arrived back at his at 3:15am! (a journey of only 7 miles along minor roads)

we experienced horizontal snow, lightning, and gale force winds which led to powerlines across the roads (still live and sparking!), trees and hedges uprooted and some of the biggest snow drifts i have personally seen (i'm only 22 so havent really experienced a "proper winter" as my dad calls it)

we got within 3 miles of my friends house before we finally ran out of luck with the punto, we done a good job of getting it stuck in a huge drift. so we continued our journey by foot and came across an elderly couple stuck in their micra. we ended up walking this couple home as they had no torch or proper clothing. Norfolk police done a fine job of writing-off a police car by ditching it and the fire service got stuck on a call out to a fire near dereham. I have NEVER experienced such weather and will think twice before i travel in it again (unless i take a landrover defender or something)

these pics are from my mobile during daylight, i will post the night time photos when i manage to get to my friends house again soon.

MORE PICS TO COME!

Managed to grab a few 'Graupels' the other day...on the back door step (too cold to venture further in a dressing gown!) plus some fallen snow whilst wandering around nr where I live in Herts fully clothed on the 18th Dec !

Hope this post works..

looking forward to a top up of seasonal weather before 2009 is out (-:

Some snowy pics from me taken yesterday afternoon just as the sun was setting. Couldn't resist the one at the end of my black lab! He's 11 months old and this is the first time he's seen snow and my goodness did he love it!!

I thought I'd done this right but when you click on the thumbnails the picture comes up HUGE!! I have emailed the help team to see if they can change it, in the meantime I apologise and if anyone can tell me how to get it right next time (or how to change the ones here) that would be great!!

Just a couple of photos taken a day and a half after the snowfall.

Festive scene- I love the way the snow hasn't melted on the tree even though subjected to direct sunlight:
