That is some proper deep snow, I'm so jealous.

We've only had 2-3 inches here, I'm hoping for loads more.

A couple of pics I took on my phone whilst out on delivery this morning.

Bloody hell that is well deep! We've got about 2-3 inches, roads are clear at the moment, been snowing all day though and set to get worse in East Anglia this afternoon
