Just round the corner it is no better.Main road is single track with only 4x4,s moving.

Saw a AA patrol van go along awhile ago but normally the road is solid with cars taking kids to school.

Loooks really quite spooky..Didn,t venture out yesterday and looks the same today so hope something decent on tv....just had another peep out the garden and its...."snowing again" !!!

Thought you would be out there today with the wheels off doing them brakes !!

Best bet is just to stay in doors......been watching neighbours clearing their Renault Scenic and the driveway around to get in.....has taken them both about 20mins ...just heard him say.."lets stay in for a while till it eases up".By the time they go back out it will be covered again.....my point is why trouble.

I walked to work yesterday and it was fun to re-pass all the cars that had passed me half a mile back.  I also got to notice where all the 4x4s pealed off to the local Prep school leaving the 'ordinary' motors in the main flow! ;D

I should mention that we have about an inch-and-a-half here but it's such an affluent area that the council can't afford to salt any roads but the biggest! ;D ;D

Remarkable how the weather can be so different in area's not far from each other. :o I'm only about 40 mins drive away from the Kent border (I'm in East Herts) and there's barely been a sniff of snow around here. Had a light dusting night before last and that's about it. Can't say I'm too upset as I hate the stuff, particularly to drive in.

Looks like we had about 4-6 inches last night in North Kent.Similar amount on the ground from Monday night/tuesday early hours so as usual all seems to grind to a near stand still.

Its not that I wouldn,t venture out,its my customers don,t so pointless going to work to see nobody so here I sit awaiting the big thaw.

Bob...the waether man tells us is something to do with the North Kent Estuary and how it effect the weather....look at Gravesend as its nearly allways recorded as the hotest temp in the summer.

Very little here, an inch or so, which is the norm for us West Midlanders. Proper snow always seems to take a diversion and go round us and we just get the weedy stuff instead.

Not that I'm complaining, last year I fell over onto impacted ice and snow twice in ten days and still feel twinges in my back.
