I've moved to Oxford again, and the snow has arrived here. It's been snowing for about 20 mins that I know of, and the cars have a thin but pretty much complete covering already. It's coming down quite strongly, though it's currently very fine, which isn't so good for clear surfaces. Fortunately around here, everything is still pretty white. Out on the main roads though, it may take some time.

It's finally got here now, and already produced a dusting over practically everything, so i'm off.

Gnight all! :rolleyes:

Gritters have now been out, preparing for tonight :)

I am prepared to apologise for my way off prediction of only a dusting, I think we may see more.. I didnt think the snow would reach, but it has. Im sorry! :) But im glad I was wrong!! Although I think it'll begin to break up now. I expect snow by 2AM.

Moderate snow quickly covering the cars and rooftops here now, it's been a long wait will it be worth it? :)

How long you had it? Still nothing here in Great Barr North B'ham...

Oh the met office forecast for me has changed so that instead of snow all day, it turns to sleet by noon and then rain by 3pm.

Have you seen the temps for the day? A bit on the low side methinks :)

Well Im not sure what made them change the forecast in recent hours, but they have, so I will bear it in mind so that Im not too shocked if it does happen tomorrow afternoon.

Meanwhile the agonising wait for the stuff to arrive has reached the tantalising 'so near and yet so far' stage for me, and it will be very close as to whether it reaches me before I go to bed at some point in the next hour.

You'll see it within an hour if it keeps up the speed, its picked up again (typical!!) :)

I dont think we could have asked for more really, a nice bonus.

I think we will be getting more though, im keeping an eye of the snow as it goes Brecon and Black Mountains. If it makes it over there quite heavy we may be in for a few more hours?

Careful if you are out driving early morning in a few hours down side roads, there was no snow left on my road, now you cant see the kerbs.
