Had any snow?

First settled snow for us in Mid Sussex, overnight. But only a few mm: enough to persuade me to take the main roads into work this morning, rather than the residential back streets. But my way in was clear. At present a damp sleety drizzle falling, not much ice about, temp. just on freezing. We're still waiting for the Arctic blizzards...

A couple of inches in Rochdale this morning, and my first commute in the snow!

Put the hybrid away and came to work on my "bargain basement" Decathlon Rockrider. Didn't really know what to expect but apart from one "oops" moment not too bad.

4-5cm in Chavvy Chesham overnight and still falling. That said, I think the temperature has risen a tad, so maybe it won't stay for long.

Chickened out and took the sodding train to work :sad: , 'cos I can't get snow tyres at the mo.

A sprinkling off snow overnight in West London but the roads are still clear.

It's more sleety snow but it is sticking to the pavements. Stings the face when not wrapped up in the buff.

If it carries on through the day, then the roads will probably be safer than the icy pavements, even with my road tyres.

Strangely there weren't many cyclists outs today :rolleyes:

Well we had another mm or two so the world looks white ... and its sticking to the roads but no depth to it. Was going to give the option of walking to school rather than cycling if he wanted to play in it as we went along, but he asked for a hat to go under his helmet so we cycled. Got to school to discover ... no other bikes, bike shed closed, and his mates were really astonished that he had cycled. And it wasn't that bad.

However this photo was taken yesterday with less snow but still bit icy:

I think he's dangerous normally when I see him on my commute ... but in the ice yesterday... mad!

Well it finally hit NW Kent/SE London.
Orpington has had about 3 inches of snow.

So forsook the bike commute

Never mind Alpine, it's getting Siberian now...

Wow Uncle Phil, that was more like the start of an episode of Casualty when you are geared up waiting for the big incident.... when it got to 1:38 where the Land Rover passed the van turning round I expected the screen to go blank and fuzzy. Looks a bit slippy?
