It was raining when I went out at 19:00, and wet sloppy snow on the way home just now.

We have changed our travel plans to next UK destination on the strength of this yellow warning.

Hey Ho.

Ronny. Good luck with your journey to pick up your new motor. Hope you are pleased with it.

Ps is it a form of popemobile by any chance........ given your new status.

About an inch in Yeovil - and traffic is gridlocked getting into town. I scampered up the hill in me mega (got snow tyres  :D) past all the 4WD mummy busses doing the school run scrabbling for grip.

I have been waiting to test Big Berta in the snow, however living darn sarf means I may have to wait some time before I get a chance. :(

There was a dusting on the Hogs Back and on the M25 around J8 but nothing worth getting excited about.

I had to... use the wipers :o to clear the windscreen of fluff when I got in the car after work yesterday evening  ;D

Joking aside, the north downs between Pitch Hill and Reigate Hill are about the only place in the south east that reliably get snow as they're all knocking on 1,000 feet.

As you know, we overlook the south downs here, and no sign on the north facing slopes opposite :y
