4-5" here in Raunds, not cold yet and signs of thawing.  Main roads seem clear.

I reckon we totalled 3-5", more in places where it had drifted, and it hasn't really thawed at home. Not been out other that to clear the snow off of the van and SWMBO's car to make sure it doesn't freeze solid ::)

Traffic seems to be moving OK on the heath roads now, although still slower than normal, so hopefully all will be OK ::)

Sky looks very heavy with moisture still and I'm not convinced that we won't get another dusting tonight :-\ :-\

Had fun earlier watching the only car that came to the end of my road get stuck :D I nearly went and offered a hand but it was a BMW so I couldn't pick myself up from laughing :-X ::)

Nothing problematic here. About 2" fell Saturday evening, but not causing anyone any trouble.  I suspect the ice is going to be more of a problem, now that there is moisture on the ground.

Snow here has pretty much melted, except where it hasn't been disturbed.  Even my road, normally pretty bad, and the last to become passable around here, is slushy.

as dangerous as ice or worse imo because when you see ice you slow down.. ice crystals mixed with water around 0-2 degrees can be a trap..

Aye, but apart from the mad bird a few doors down, nobody drives down our road faster than walking pace :y

Actually, I think slush is safer than ice - you can see slush, ice can lurk unseen.

last week I see a tendency on our official drivers (in job-and they are professional)  to go fast on slush..  :-\

Mind you, we had at least 12" for the entire of February last year, so it's a welcome change

6-10 cm here and in N Kent.  Cleared the last of it from our road last night fearing the freeze of slush, however, fears were unfounded as it is all slowly melting away now.

All gone here now apart from the odd patch on roads that really don't get any traffic (like the one I live down - only four houses).. winter tyres worked a treat, though, where there was snow & slush; although I still left a big gap in front of me as I was trying to calculate braking distances for me and the fella behind who was apparently welded to my back bumper all the way to work  ::)
