Where's the snow? I want snow!
Bring me the snow :-(

No snow round here and not likely to be as far as I can see - is a little chilly mind.

No snow here yet (Banbury,Oxfordshire.), only a matter of time I would say, cloudy and cold about -2C.

-2? Gosh, that's warmed up a bit since I caught my train at Banbury this morning at 6.57. My car said -5 and there was what looked like needle/rod shaped snow blowing about in the air (though not a lot). I was wondering if there might be 'wrong sort of snow' problems later with the trains!

I guess it depends where you get the weather report from, on the desktop gadget in windows it say's -2 in Banbury but on the UKTS Toolbar on my web browser it says -5 for Banbury.

Hi Steve - many thanks for the offer - I'm sure it would be much appreciated here in the shire of the Berks :-)

Well, no wonder you haven't got any of this white stuff then Geoff, you reside in a Royal county, HM Queen has abviously had a word with the powers that be and ensured her counties remain snowfree zones...... :wink:

It's snowed overnight here in Milnrow - about 2 inches - and I umed and ahed about driving to work.

Decided to in the end and thankfully as I was amongst the first to drive on my estate it wasn't too bad. The M62, M60, M62 and M6 were Ok with only a light covering in Knutsford where I work.

Will leave for home quite a bit earlier than normal unless my wife rings to give me warning of more snow in Milnrow.

This morning it was 34 F, which is around 1 C. That's the coldest it's been here for many years. (Which it's freezing if you aren't used to it.)
