Steady little snow fall in Cannock, South Staffordshire at the moment...  how is the weather elsewhere in the Country ...   ??? ..

Stay warm and safe should you need to travel.

No snow here  ;)

It's been quite nice today, mild, slight damp drizzle but not too bad! Temperature about 14 degrees and about the same at night!

There is some snow that I can see up in the mountains but thats expected at 2000m... If there is no snow then the snow machines kick in for the ski resort!

Ha, you didn't specify a country for the weather report!  ;D

Nothing as of last evening while I was on my way back from the Turning Club night, but this morning, 2" and falling quite steadily.  But as I am the opposite side of the Severn Estuary and Southern Wales is expecting 8" - 12" on high ground, I think it could get deeper even though we are only on the edge of the area.

They say it's going to spread NE from me, so you guys take it easy and be careful.

Damn snow, I was supposed to fetch a new toy, "Ahem" machine today   ;D, but a 200 mile round trip isn`t the best idea when there`s snow on the ground & more forecast  :'(

At least I`ve a day off to play in the workshop  :D

Snow here in Swansea, South Wales, but very slushy now at 10.30. Still snowing off and on, but I'm right close to the sea here and I know its a lot worse in land. Staying at home and in the workshop in the warm. Stay safe.

I've lived here on the Norfolk coast for half a lifetime but I'm still mesmerised by the patterns on the beach made by wind-whipped snow over the roughed up sand with the surf crashing to one side and marram grass wispering to the other....magical!
 Walking down to see it though....now that's a rather different experience.

B cold here in Margate :o,very cold wind no snow yet but some expected later today, wish my workshop had an efficent heater, only got a fan heater and am about concerned about dust particles etc on the element .

Should get a wood burning stove for all the mistakes I'm making ! Still I'll get the hang of it eventually ?  :-[

5" here in wiltshire, trouble with working from home you don't have any excuses not to get to work! As regards heating, my shed is warmer now than it has been so far this year so I'm quite happy.

So far we have around 6" here in the Forest of Dean. More snow to come according to the forecast!
No post either - they local depot sent all the posties home so that's another bonus - no membership applications to process!  ;D
