the Isle of man has stopped!! Totaly. schools, roads public transport. It dosnt usually snow here due to the high salt content, but we got caught out last night.

It was funny hearing our chief constable, saying in typicaly manx way, "have a lie in, we'll see what happens later"

Not overly bad here, kinda used to it now as it hasn't lifted for over 2 weeks. Was pushing a collegues Maserati round the car park this morning, definately a crap car for this weather.

Looks like there's snow across the whole of England, yet it would have missed Chips barn because it never snows there

It's snowing quite heavily here (near Blackpool). Sky is white every way I look so looks as if it's in for a while.

Weather forecast for my area on BBC Website still says sunny

EDIT: Sky no longer works, so I can't watch the Discovery Channel anymore

About 2 inches fell overnight here. Add that to the other 2 inches of compacted snow and it's quite deep.

We never usually get any snow worth shouting about in Bromsgrove, however, it's pretty bad down here for a change.

If that's from Photobucket you've got the right code by the looks of it.

You just copy the 'IMG Code' and paste it in your reply.
