Been snowing on and off all day in Solihull, but not settling, we have a sugar-coating on the ground but not much else. Get's quite icy overnight but thaws quickly during the day so we're not suffering. Truck has decided to break rather inconveniently though so having to walk everywhere!

Oldest son in Leeds says he can't even get down the road for the snow. Thought it was a student excuse to avoid lectures but he swears blind it's a day off today.
Apparently it's so bad he can't even get out to a bar this evening to celebrate a friend's birthday - now that's serious!

The AA guy finally got here at 12-20 last night, he'd been busy all night and hadn't got over 15mph anywhere. My car had been ticking over for just short of 5 1/2 hours by the time he arrived, so the battery's well charged, lol. It's snowing quite heavily now.

Ever since the snow started 3 days ago my wife has just done nothing but look through the window. I'm getting fed up of it now, i'm even considering letting her in!

Went to work tonight, parked my snow free car at 7-15. There was at least 5" of snow on it at 11-00 when they evacuated the site. I'm so glad i only live 1 1/2 miles from work !!

if you carry 2 lengths of carpet in the boot you can put them under the driving wheels to get some grip, i also have some snow chains but find the carpet much quicker if its just to get me going after being parked

and how do you retrieve the carpet or do u just leave it lying??? or maybe you have to stop get out and then repeat the exercise to get going again

that would be a long trip home. lol well im still doing my 39 miles to work in 45 mins!
