ever since moving from just outside of Bath to Swansea we don't get snow but everyone still panic buys it makes me laugh.

Thats a real winter scene Debs, you just made a decision for me, I was going to go to the Newcastle v WestBrom game tonight, but as there is unlikely to be any action which may cause excitement ( and the fact that it is on Sky ) I would probably be bored and cold. Pub has double glazing and a nice heater.

We've had a dusting, which came from nowhere.  Small roads, and even the A5 just north of MK started to look a bit interesting.  Hardly anything at home though.

..for my area (London) next week.

On Wednesday, between 07.00 and 09.59, Metcheck are forecasting a maximum temperature of -1 and snow showers!!  :o :o

http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/dayforecast.asp?zipcode=NW7&day=5

I know we're in for a cold period next week, but snow? Well, you never know I guess.
 
They say it should move up to a high of 5 degrees later in the morning.

Well done, Metcheck!  :y

The snow's getting heavier by the minute!

That's it then, all will stop ::) I lived in Hertfordshire, Epping Green, no not Essex ::) for 7 years, only saw decent snow once and everything came to a halt.
I had a Landrover, and a Mini Cooper, and used to drive around the country lanes looking for ditched cars to pull out, for a couple of beer tokens of course. :y :y :y
