Right, I'm off to Bedfordshire via Wooden Hill and Hot Bath.

Early start in the morning.

Anything over 1/2 an inch, that sticks.

According to the National Weather Service in the States;"
Heavy Snow
This generally means...

• snowfall accumulating to 4" or more in depth in 12 hours or less; or
• snowfall accumulating to 6" or more in depth in 24 hours or less

In forecasts, snowfall amounts are expressed as a range of values, e.g., "8 to 12 inches." However, in heavy snow situations where there is considerable uncertainty concerning the range of values, more appropriate phrases are used, such as "...up to 12 inches..." or alternatively "...8 inches or more..."."
But I would say any snow over 8 inches in a single storm situation. But I'm used to more snow than some others.

I think i've done my toaster in. I put a couple of pappadoms in to warm up. When turning them around blue flashes and a crackling noise happened. I've tried another fuse but no luck. I'm now having to use my George Foreman type grilling machine to warm some crumpets up.

That much would bring this country to a standstill. Those in charge wouldn't know what to do.

We'd a gritter get stuck, at the bottom of a slope, in just over a 1/4 inch earlier this month. IF only he'd thought about reversing!

Anything over 1/2 an inch, that sticks.

Correction: Anything over 1/2 an inch in London and the South East that sticks.

 

[Andy in Germany]

I have got a cough.

 

[screenman]

It is dark out, so I cannot see if it had snowed.

Setting the 'mundane' bar pretty high there already.

I hope all is well with you, yours and all about you this morning.

Myself, as keen as kitten with a crate full of catnip.
