Just getting the first light dusting, but looks like more to follow.

I love getting the boots, thick socks, and other snow gear out !  :)

Panic stations here, according to the local news, we must have at least 3mm.

Someone at work just sent me a picture to prove it's snowing where he lives.. I told him "That's not snow. I can still see the road!" ;D

Yes it's nice to be prepared isn't it. :y

M4 eastbound closed near Bristol according to the news.

About an inch settled here now. Falling heavier.

So glad I got winter tyres, was thinking it was just for legal reasons in Austria, as 99% motorway would I need them?

Think I will, extremely impressed with them in snow/slush so far. I've got quite a few boxes of huge bathroom tiles, thinking of chucking that in the boot for some extra weight. Won't take up too much space, just line the boot with them, help traction.

Leaving at 4am, so hopefully should be little traffic if any about.

Traction doesn't really seem to be a problem with snow tyres on .. I tested it this morning on some untreated roads  ;D

Although ice can still get a little hairy (as I found out a couple of nights ago on some different untreated roads) - manageable, but hairy when a big patch creeps up on you in the dark.

M4 swindon looks to be closing in. Lane 3 not used as snow covered.

2 and 1 looking heavier by the minute. I reckon that will be closed by mid avo if this keeps up.
