It's on the way Ash, it's proper coming down in Telford.

Got about 2 inches at the mo.

Oh joy, the last time this happened it took 3hrs to travel 4 miles. I bet most of the problems were women drivers (apologies, I've got issues with women drivers at the moment!)

I think we are bearing the brunt of it "down South".

It is like five or six inches deep! Attempted to go in after scraping off the snow but even the main roads are bad. No buses or trains into London either...

I put the car in the road cos last time I couldnt get out of the drive - slightly uphill and my wide tyres are rubbish.

Came across a couple of cars unable to get up hills or understeered off so abandoned and pulled back into the parking space I left!
The bus routes are still heavily snowed under when I wen out - even the one that supports the hospital is still covered in snow with just a single track right down the middle of the road!

The snow caught everyone by surpise though.

I would of thought they would be more concerned with a lorry sliding off the road than a binman slipping on the path lol
