3 or 4 inches in Berwick upon Tweed. Lots of heavy snow and hail showers blowing in off the North Sea , only just managed getting my car back into its garage as that road in the estate is never gritted.

Lots here, about 4 or 5 inches, I guess. Went out for a drive after taking this pic...

A good few inches in Dudley/Wolvo too. Witnessed some real bad driving. Felt sorry for some but got to ask if people are that scared of driving in these conditions should they even be on the roads?!

Really impressed with the traction I got with my Michelin Alpins. Had real confidence in the car accross every road I travelled! It's going to be expensive going forwards, I will want winters on every car I have!
Also thought this looked a bit cold...

The snow is still coming down in Southampton although it has slowed down a bit since this morning. Can't wait for it to all disappear. :grin:


Suitable footwear from the b/f there Mandy??  :signLOL:

Lol, I was hoping he'd fall on his ass :laugh:, I did offer to lend him a pair of my Uggs...

Well I love the snow love driving in it too. Golf is surprisingly quite good in it! We have had a lot of snow here in Kelso some places it's drifted to over a foot high.
Here's a wee pic of the golf thinking it wants a bigger splitter haha
