Great shots Carl. We also had a lot of snow here in Cheshire over Friday night/Saturday morning (about 6-8"). Our cocker spaniel Jake had a whale of a time today playing in the powder. We even had a snowball fight (me and the wife) and Jake kept jumping up and eating the snowballs  :grin:

Hate driving in this weather though, 18" alloys and 225 rubber and snow do not go well. Deffo have to start to consider some snow tyres.

Arley, the King Charles Spaniel, loved it. He was eating it, jumping up trying to catch flakes and then barking at it :laugh:

That's unbelievable Steve...

I'm a mere 22 miles (?) East and we had less than a smattering, in fact I wouldn't even have said it 'snowed', it was just heavy sleet compared.
Like two literally different climates  :surprised:

Just a phone pic but an Icicle which had Dropped from the car and was just stood in the snow. And looking at it probably survived a few trips onto the drive
