I've managed to entirely avoid it, other than the 1" we had tues (which is still 1", though once off estate, roads are clear), and about the same yesterday morning in Milton Keynes, which quickly disperced - though still took me 2.25hrs to get in :(

Had another avalanche off the roof last night around the back, i had just opened the french doors to let the dogs out, i then heard a "whoosh" followed by tons of snow, i couldnt shut the door & the dogs couldnt get back in, so had to start digging with a dustpan as the spade was outside, finally managed to get the dogs in & the door shut, looked out this morning & sure enough no guttering,,,,,so its official that my house has NO GUTTERS LEFT!, ive also got a busted slate or two & a ridge tile in danger of coming down,,,,aaaaaaaaaw buuuuuuuuuuuuuugga! :( :( :(

Wife baking & icing a cake at very short notice for some little ones birthday tomorrow, needed some ribbon so asked me to run her to the town centre. Went outside, car under a foot of fresh snow, only cleared it this morning at 6.30am!  :-? went to get the brush & scraper out of the boot without engaging my brain first & after a loud Whooshing sound had a boot filled to the bloody brim with the sodding stuff! >:(
Should I dial 999 & ask for help or does that only work in Chatham? ;D

Went out for a take-away at 1900 hrs this evening. MID showed a low of -9.5. No wind, clear sky. Roads getting really slippery in places.

The temperature is now +2.4, wind speed is averaging 14 knots from the South and the barometer is dropping through the floor. :o

Take a look here: http://www.lashamweather.co.uk/weather-data.php

I suspect there will be a thaw (or more snow?), but the roads have been subzero for over a week, so it could get a bit dicey before it gets any better.

Indeed. Got a dose of that a couple of years back. Luckily I noticed the sheen on the road. Only time I've ever seen a double decker bus going up the road with a couple of armfuls of opposite lock on. :o
