Just had a hail storm here but no snow but my dad who livea near Heathrow says it's snowing really hard there.

is that you son 

Thats not good, I may have to go pick up the wife when she gets back this evening then.  Being from a tropical country she's useless at driving in the snow  :-/

Plus we hope to fly out on Sunday 

Are you flying via anywhere? Short haul flights to Frankfurt are ~90% cancelled at the moment, so I'd expect the same of any flights via there..

Straight from Heathrow to the West coast of USA, then a short hop across the Pacific to Oahu  8-)

Fingers crossed we make it out though as we fly standby, so one cancelled flight and I can be stuck for days

Mind you I wont be upset to get stuck on the way back

Ahh good choice of route I came back from Seattle on Sunday and it took 24 hours - our original flight was via Chicago until Chicago got snowed out, rerouted via Toronto until the plane broke down and we all had to get off.. ended up coming back via Vancouver with a 6hr stop there before a direct flight back to Heathrow.. (Naturally our luggage went walkabout somewhere in there  )

Anyhoo.. enjoy Oahu you lucky 

you werent flying United were you?

you werent flying United were you?

Yep! United originally (via Chicago), re-routed to Air Canada via Toronto and then Horizon to Vancouver on a little turbo-prop and Air Canada to London..

We've got it again.

  You`ll need the "slough-ploughs"

Lets hope the slough-ploughs aren`t on a snow-plough go-slow in slough!

well, earlier on i was about to post saying we still hadnt had any snow apart from the 15 minute minor throw-down at bolton yesterday that didnt stick, looked out of the window and it had snowed! although not too bad, not even a centimetre

been warned that we might get hit bad overnight, so i've covered the car and gritted the driveway cos i'm out at 5am!!

Well, not too bad in the end, freezing temp caused more aggro. -2.5 c when I left at 4pm, took ages to de ice the car, covered in rain drops, frozen wipers with some snow on top. No problem here in Reading, but just up the road in winnersh the ground is/was covered in hail stones.
