Just looked out the window and I have got snow falling now. Seems to be settling. Can I be trusted to behave myself on the drive to Shefford this evening?

Must be patchy in East Sussex - we had loads today and all the lanes/roads inland from Bexhill and Hastings were snowed/iced up to buggery this morning so everyone I know round here has had the day off!

I think it's set to be more of the same tomorrow!

Cheers,

Andy
