We parked the car at 3pm, Friday...

Need to lift your wipers up so any melting snow sliding off doesn't bend them.

Just got back from my Alps trip and I'm happy to report that everything went smoothly, despite my lack of preparation

I only encountered one road (a twisty pass up to a ski resort) which I decided against attempting, and even then it wasn't much of an inconvenience as the alternative route wasn't much of a diversion and was properly gritted.

A few more pictures for the snow lovers.....








And all that driving on snow made it the dirtiest it's ever been!

All those in favour of excommunicating GetCarter out of sheer jelousy, say 'aye'

I do hope Steve has a BIG shovel for that lot.

He'll be the warmest place in the country in the next few days. He won't know what snow is.....

It's the birdies singing that makes that short clip great with the snow.

I wonder if that's Schmalex's flight?

We are expecting snow on our tour tonight, staying in Hull for a couple of days

It snowed Saturday night into Sunday morning (more expected Wednesday). Put down about 4" that settled.

Sunday morning at ~8.30, the roads were a little treacherous on packed snow.
At 10.30a.m. they were mostly slushy.
At 4.30p.m. they were bone dry - the delight of Colorado, you don't have to deal with it for long.

Seems the SW has a very good chance of snow tonight. Kent and perhaps slightly further along the Sussex Coast should be on the watch out as well. Ireland too.

After today, winds swing round to the NE - so anywhere on the East Coast can expect snow showers for a few days.

Windsor?

The Mrs is flying in from Florence this evening to Stansted. Any chance of anything up there?

Something might be brewing for Thursday, but it's far from clear or certain.
