Ooh! Wales was meant to get the snow big time, but it only just started and we have about 1mm.

I'm expecting to be grounded tonight at work.

At my unit, we only have one BMW X5. The rest of the fleet are 330's and a 530. I think two of those have winter tyres.

And to think, we wanted the Insignia VXR which has four wheel drive and is cheaper than the BMW's!

I did it notice that the head of fleet services has a shiny new BMW. Coincidence?

Now must go and pick up all the dog turds form the garden before they get covered in snow else it'll be highly risky building a snowman later.
loads of people haven't turned up here. All the businesses are empty so I was spinning round in the middle of the road junction. All the main roads were fine, some were a little snowed over but nothing major as long as your sensible

Tbf I only had it come on as I tried to get out my road, so I switched it all off.

If its still good later I'll go out and do it again. Hardcore!

Snowing slow but steady and settling in London, well, in my back garden anyway, haven't looked out the front windows yet.

The world will end, obviously.

There has been about half an inch in my garden since breakfast time. If it carries on like this we could have a decent amount by Monday.

Had to go to the dentist this morning and it started to gently fall while I was in there. Now got 5mm or so on the garden so I've missed my chance of clearing the dog eggs. Luckily my pooch only ever goes right at the bottom of the garden so I can use the rest fairly safely - assuming we get enough to bother trying for a snowman of course.
