Taken at 08.30 this morning near Preston in Lankyshire, we've had about 2cm of snow with more expected.
A piffling amount compared to some of you, I know, but at least it makes the world look a bit better for a while. :)

That looks like your car?
S'grim oop North!
Lovely down here, bright sunshine!
:D
Just been out to clear my car ready for going out in quarter of an hour or so, anticipating the remainder of the frost from yesterday being underneath it on the windscreen.
I nearly didn't need to bother, it's turned to rain so it should all be washed away of its own accord soon.
Since it didn't need as much clearing as I'd expected I've come back in the warm for a few more minutes.
Brilliant sunshine here in West Cornwall.
Hopefully it stays that way as I head up to Bristol later by train.
dazzlingly bright sunshine here, but fffffffffffffff-freezing. -2 at present, feels colder.
had snow some days ago, only about 1/2 inch if that, but did look nice.
HB in his element, but I do not have a fur coat so not in mine walking him. :*(

Two foot of snow in Scotland is a minor inconvenience...
Two inches of snow in Northern England, we put on a bigger coat and carry on.
Two millimetres in London it's a National Emergency, and blanket media coverage as though the world is ending... ::)
Bright sun in sunny Bournemouth, vague signs of a light frost overnight.

Ahem...
While I confess I do live in the balmy part of Canada (its been down to -11 here in Nanaimo the last couple of days), the UK really should stop freaking out about a few flakes and a slightly nippy temperatures lol (just kidding I know you're just not equipped for it)

These temperatures aside, its been *a lot* colder the last few days, down to around -40 -> -50C in Alberta and Interior BC (not going to joke about that, those are downright dangerous temperatures) and we're finally getting some sensible snowfalls.
Attitude here is much different (though people whine about snow and cold every year, which is dumb, cause this is Canada for pity's sake!), I remember my first winter in New Brunswick at a farmers market one weekend enjoying the *outside* barbecue in -25 on a glorious sunny day

I once helped a colleague clear the snow from her rental car out here in sunny Colorado.
A quick 5 minutes work at about -15C. It wasn't hers :doh:
Neither was the next one :(
We decided to target the licence plate area instead and found it after 2 more attempts.
It didn't help that Hertz had delivered around 10 identical rental cars to our offices >:(
Right now it's sunny, snowy, and minus 9C.
8) 8) 8) are essential.

No doubt you'll be 'flying' on the way back after beating Wet Spam
