Where is here, Upnick?

I'm in Northampton where it has been snowing much of the night and, without going out to measure it, we have 1 - 3 inches depending on how sheltered it is.  My car is disappearing under it.  IT's 8:45 am. and looks set for the day.  Brrr... back to the modelling, lol.

A little West of you, Owl, near Ludlow.  If you have Sky News you can see for yourself - they have a roving hack there.

I'd say about 6 inches on average here ... but there are some sculpted drifts in the garden a good 30+ inches, including a very thin "defensive" wall around the front of the house  ;D  Looks surreal  :D

It's not stopped snowing since this time yesterday ...

Only about an inch here in Swindon, and the big snow flakes that were falling appear to have changed to something looking a lot more like sleet.

Already have had to call off our first week away - we were due to be taking our caravan to Derbyshire tomorrow, but understand that the roads around the site are treacherous, so we have booked into a different site near Torquay instead (heading south rather than north!)

Spoke too soon - sleet has now gone back to big flakes and quite heavy!  :goggleeyes: At least the roads appear to be staying clear.

It's been snowing for the better part of 48 hours on Merseyside. There's about 3" on the ground in places. Still, it didn't stop me visiting my local MRC, for the first time, last night!

No snow in Newcastle but it is very overcast and the pavements are drying out at the moment  :thumbsup:

We have been told that snow may well hit us later today and tomorrow  :'(

I don't have any plans to go out anywhere so I will just have to get some rolling stock out for some excercise  :D

cheers John.

Well, I've just driven from Lancaster to just south of Northampton.  It's really not bad. Some places have snow, others none.  One or two places there was a bit of slush in the outside lane of the M6/M1, but it was all moving freely enough.

Looks like it should stop snowing here about 4pm, but as the temp will not get above zero until it peaks at +1 tomorrow lunchtime, it will not be thawing soon. Chaos on the roads on Monday.
The years have been good to me, it was the weekends that did the damage.
