Just wait, my son, just wait.

Lifted from the Met Office warnings for Tuesday/Wednesday (South of England):

Rain is expected to spread northwards during the day, turning to snow widely as it does so. Strong northeasterly winds will also be a feature, perhaps reaching gale force in exposed areas. This will lead to the potential for blizzard conditions in places, with significant disruption a possibility. At present, these conditions seem likely to continue into Wednesday.

 ;) ;D ;D

Looks like mostly sleet for here.  Last year I sat in Bovington watching the news of the mania gripping the UK as all the snow fell.  That little corner of Dorset was the only place that did not see one snowflake!

Only had a couple of inches, was out at a friends and had totally forgotton it might snow.

1st time have driven an Omega in snow (Auto at that)  Used the snow button to get going but turned it off to try it later.  Mega ompressed with the mig, never went above 30, half a tank of fuel and all tryes still at 35psi so wasnt expectecting good results.

Even stopped to help a saxo that had spun and ditched himself,  TC kept flicking on (Snow button off) but it managed to gain traction up the slight incline so well cheuufed with it.

Didnt push more than 30mph as the snow was coming down hard.

Interesting to see how deep it is in the morning.
