Big chunky snow here,and it is definately sticking to cars and grass. Cant tell on the tarmac.

Another night of lampost watching i think......

Worrying again - please not a repeat.

[Liam J]

Things must be pretty bad on the motorway right now!

[pip22]

I just lived just too far north of the snow. Im gutted. By judging at the radar the wind is changing direction to more of a north-westerly if you look closely.

[dodge]

Silly me, too busy reading these posts to look out of the window. Heavy sleet here now, such a quick turnaround from mainly rain. No thunder this time, but good to see wintry stuff again.

Edit: flash of lightning and thunder. It's all systems go!
