So did it snow where you are today? I'm bloody hating it as I have to go to Stanstead tomorrow really early, and my flight may be cancelled. Its quite ironic that I'm going snowboarding, and its the snow thats keeping me from going.

Hope I can get to Italy on time

It rained last night and we had some light rain during the morning and early afternoon. Other than that, it was dry and the sun even came out for a while around lunch time!

Not a snow flake in sight

Loos like the rest of the party will make it then. Theres my family, a family from Wareham [Quite close to you Dat] in Dorset who are flying from southampton and a couple who are driving there through switzerland.
I really do hope its not delayed.

4" of snow, trains and buses cancelled, over 150 schools closed and radio stations telling everyone not to go to work. A very easy drive into and back out of work, very few other vehicles around!

Yep, there's been a lovely blanketing of snow around the Midlands! Shame about the travel problems though, a mate of mine was looking to fly out today but his flight's been put back to tomorrow.

Plenty of snow for me; more fun with rear-wheel drive and roundabouts!

We've had an INCREDIBLY SMALL amount of snow compared to our usual Canadian downfall this year (I speak for the southern Quebec region). Lately, however, it's been VERY COLD! Overall the effect of global warming has caught up to us I think - because for the first time in my 29 years of existance I've witnessed a green Christmas... an awful sight!

that's terrible. I used to live in Edmonton, Alberta and I can't imagine Canadian Christmas without snow!

I live in London now and we recently had what I would call spring snow. The wet and won't last long kind. Everyone's going nuts.

It snowed enough.. I have chilblanes so make of it what you will..

I hate snow.. I hate rain.. I hate the summer ( hayfever bad ) I hate Autumn and Spring as they are not really seasons.. Spring is back end of winter Autumn is beginning of Winter..

I like Storms ( rainless storms ).. violent winds.. earthquakes. hurricances and twisters.. I would honestly love some of that over here except without all the damage..

We got some snow but it went pretty quickly. I didn't have to do anything until evening so I could just sit indoors watching it melt, postman didn't look too happy though

Where my girlfriend comes from, she says there are 4 seasons.....nearly winter (autumn), winter, more winter (spring), and construction (summer). Minnesota. I love winter over there because its so cold that your nipples could fall off, and theres tons of snow and they dont care in the slightest. Makes me think that this country is just stupid with all the fuss it puts up about 3 inches of snow.

And then, when its spring, everybody complains about the rain. When its summer, everybody likes to see the rain but complains that its too hot. In Autumn, its just like spring but in reverse.

They should invent an Olympic sport called 'complainathon' because england would always win, probably because we'd be the only country to compete.

Mini rant over.

I'm quite happy about the snow at the moment. Being from the Midlands, where the snow is about 3.5 inches or so, means that school is closed. My maths teacher had previously said "I'm going to set you lots of homework for the holidays, and I want it all done!" and so, thank God, the weather has saved us.
I built 3 giant snowballs yesterday but last night a group of evil chavs came and dropped the lighter of the three, which was on the garden next to the house, on my mums car
They cleared off when I went outside with the spade and told them to do something which my parents probably, okay, definitely, wouldn't approve of.

The worst snow I've ever seen was when I lived in Eastern Massachusetts in 1993. A few flurries when I arrived at the office at 9am. By Lunchtime, I had to dig my car out. The best snow was in the UK in 1976. A foot of the stuff fell between the bell for the end of lunchtime and being sent home early at 3pm.

And still the maths homework awaits...eek...

Aside from that...me and my car have decided snow is poo...

Lost control of the damn thing, thanks to the muppet who slammed on his/her anchors to see if s/he can get the car to skid (well not sure on that, but I couldn't see the need for braking no other cars, no junction or road course changes, no other danger we were doing max 20mph...sooo), proceeded to smack into the curb and voila 125 notes later we're both back on the road (it wouldn't have been this much if I didn't have to take it to a tyre place for a check up as well as a damaged rim they noticed that my tyres were almost something Nigel Mansell would've been proud of!) so I guess it's not all the snows fault!

When it comes time to replace Lucy...I'm buying a big thick coat and a decent pair of walking boots!

Can I just say, "Snow, what snow?"

Ahh the joys of living in good ol' Costa Del Burnley

It did briefly threaten to snow and I saw a few white patches of grass in places, but apart from that - nothing
