Here in Kent earlier today, we measured 8 inches of snow.

Since then it has been snowing for the last 10hrs and is still snowing hard.

Kent now has the army on standby.

Stay safe everyone

You try and keep in doors and stay warm n hopefully it will all go back to where it should be soon......... I so hope cus I am so tired of breaking ice with a hammer :roll: Take care Cris x

    Hi Chris

    We've got ice under the snow! The tempreature hardly gets above freezing during the day. I don't like this weather, i'm not very stable on my feet in the snow and scared of falling and starting off arthur in my spine since it has been at bay for about 2 months now.

    Pink is my favourite colour! Hence my dog being called Rosie. Thought Pinkie would sound a bit funny when calling her up the park :lol:
    It's snowing here again now, no sign of a thaw. Waiting for our managing director to get in touch about monday since work has been closed since last thursday

    We have got off very lightly in Kettering.
    Nevery know, will probably arrive tonight, but compared to you folks, the ground is barely covered. All the snow from yesterday cleared by the evening.
    There is a very fine sort of snow coming down at this minute. thats all.
    I don't know what the roads are like in Cheshire, but my pharmacuetial company was suppose to deliver my MTX last week and couldn't make it. I have no doses now until they deliver on Tuesday. If they have to abort it again, I shall have to go to the hospital I suppose.

    At least I'm glad that my new boots are warm and easy to walk in.
    You all take care.

    Oh it's snowing yet again in Kent. My road was virtually clear this afternoon as the local farmer has been going up and down with a plough but now it's covered again.

    On the good side, maybe that means another day off work and taking some more photos :lol:

    We havent had any more snow thank god. Just been out and the road is even more icy as it seems to have been raining. No way am I going out in my car as one of the neighbours car is stuck in a hedge blocking part of the road. Need to go take some prescriptions to the docs for my mum going to walk and I know the pavements that way will be even more slippy.

    It was about 3 inches deep here in North Wales, then the sun came out and it started to thaw a little. But now it's freezing hard.
