We've got snow in Dublin right now, but it's the same kind of half-assed snow we usually get (on those rare occasions when we do get it) which only covers the tops of cars and roofs and just leaves the ground wet and slippery. Not enough to get me out of work dammit!

Yeah, not much more than 2 centimetres out in Citywest, but it made for amusing slippy-slidey car fun this morning.  Somebody explain to me why when everyone else is crawling along at 10 miles an hour, some fuckwit always thinks 50 is a good speed for an ungritted road.  There's evolution in action for you, oh my creationist buds.

Slap me in the face an took all o my gap.
They have no clues an they wanna get warmer,
But shan wont turn informer!

Very, very slight dusting of snow here in deepest darkest Wales.

Ho-hum.

Could be that where you are going has snow.. happened to me a few years ago flying from Bristol to Belfast.

No snow in Bristol but when I eventually got to Belfast it was about a foot deep!

No snow as yet in Belfast, but expected tonight.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Got Snow? Just a little!

About 4 inches in Hackney - London is basically in shutdown, only the main roads have been gritted.  Trains and tubes are running on "if you're lucky" schedules and buses are having the day off.

Saying that I walked to work in an hour (Hackney to Camden) and had the most relaxed commute ever.  Even found 20 quid.

Less looking forward to the trip home in the dark...

Theres a fair bit of it here [Sussex].About 3 inches .I live in a town [not for much longer] and snow is crap in towns but its probably beautiful out of town.I am losing work because of it as my work this week is outside and the whole week has been written off because of the low temperatures.

I like the chaos that Snow brings to the UK .

Loads of the stuff!

Took the dog for a walk through the wood at the back of my garden this morning, never seen it looking so beautiful.

Just went for a stroll through Newport Pagnell and 'twas most agreeable, hampered only by a crappy waitress. Some local miscreants did opt to assail passers-by with compacted spheres, but when they turned their attentions to me they all missed! At one point I saw one of them running out in front of a car in a blind dash to et some more snow from a road island.
